Can an HIV-positive person have a hair transplant?

An HIV-positive person can have a hair transplant when appropriate precautions are taken and under the supervision of a specialist doctor. However, given that HIV infection weakens the immune system and increases the risk of infection, doctors should make a particularly careful evaluation and assess the risks before the operation. It is also important for HIV positive individuals to follow a careful recovery process and infection precautions after the operation

What are the Preferred Hair Transplant Methods for HIV Positive Patients?

FUE and DHI hair transplantation methods are suitable options for HIV positive individuals. These methods minimize bleeding and offer a safer option for both patients and surgeons. FUT hair transplantation method is not recommended for HIV positive patients due to the high risk of bleeding and infection. Hair transplantation for HIV positive patients is performed with FUE hair transplantation and DHI hair transplantation methods.

These methods minimize the risk of tissue damage and bleeding.

It has proven reliability and permanence.

DHI hair transplantation for HIV Positive Patients

It is more costly than FUE hair transplantation method.

How is HIV Positive Hair Transplantation Performed?

The surgical hair restoration process is the same regardless of whether the patient has HIV or not. Hair is removed from the donor area with either FUE or DHI methods and placed in small recipient areas that the surgeon opens in balding areas. Hair restoration clinics always use new sets of equipment, hand tools, drills and machines, which are disposed of immediately after the procedure. The surgeon and his/her team always use the necessary protective equipment such as surgical masks and gloves. Therefore, everyone is protected during the procedure, as the necessary precautions are always taken, regardless of whether the patient has HIV or not.The hair transplantation process in HIV positive patients includes the following steps:

First of all, the health information of the patients is collected and the treatments they have received for HIV positive disease are evaluated.
Then the necessary blood and HIV tests are performed.
If the patient does not have any obstacle to hair transplantation, hair analysis is performed and the areas to be transplanted are determined according to the patient’s demands.
The method to be used in hair transplantation (such as FUE, DHI or Sapphire) is determined.
On the day of the operation, the patient is sedated and the procedure is started. Grafts are collected, channels are opened and hair transplantation is performed.
The duration of the operation may vary depending on the general health condition of the patient, the area to be transplanted and the amount of transplantation.
After the operation, it is of great importance for the success of the operation that the patients act in line with the recommendations of the physician.

Things to Consider After Hair Transplantation in HIV Positive Patients

Since the immune system of HIV positive patients is generally weaker than other patients, they are expected to treat themselves carefully and act with great care in the postoperative period. At this stage, it is critical to protect the immune system as well as the hair transplantation area. The issues that HIV positive patients should pay attention to after hair transplantation are as follows:

Care and hygiene practices recommended by the physician should be performed regularly and correctly.
Intense physical activities should be avoided and creams, lotions or medications recommended by the physician should be used regularly.
The transplantation area should be protected from sunlight.
Patients can start washing their hair from the 3rd day of the transplantation, following the doctor’s instructions meticulously.

How Does the Recovery Process Progress After HIV Positive Hair Transplantation?

Some situations may worry patients during the healing process, but in fact, each of these should be considered normal. For example, it is common to see redness, swelling or bruising in the transplantation areas in the first week after the operation. Here are some things that hair transplant patients in Turkey should know about the recovery process:

The transplanted hair may fall out in about a month. This does not mean that the operation has failed; it is a natural consequence of the procedure.
The shed hair may start to grow back over time and may have the appearance of a beard in the first days.
It takes 3 to 6 months for the hair follicles to strengthen and the hair to start growing.
Extreme itching may be felt in the first days after the operation. However, not itching the area is important for the success of the operation.
Your hair starts to look much more natural and permanent in about 6-12 months.

Remember that it is important to choose a specialized and experienced physician or clinic for the success of the operation
