Asking The Right Questions To Your Hair Transplant Surgeon.
Asking the right questions is key in determining whether you have found the right physician for your Hair transplant procedure. Below are some of these important questions and the types of information you need to verify before making your decision.
How many years has the physician been dedicated to doing hair transplantation?
How many hair transplant procedures does the surgeon perform in one day?
Ideally the physician will be dedicated to working on you all day if you are doing a large mega session procedure.
Does the physician perform hair transplant surgery full time or predominantly? If not, the clinic may not have a staff that is experienced enough to successfully perform large sessions of all microscopically prepared follicular grafts.
What is the hair transplant surgeon’s reputation among his or her peers?
Does the physician take a holistic approach to hair loss treatment and also offer advice or Rogaine?
What procedure does the clinic perform? Is it truly state of the art?
Does the physician use microscopes for the dissection of the donor tissue into 1, 2, 3, and 4 hair follicular grafts?
Large sessions of all microscopically prepared grafts are a team effort. But how “hands on” will your hair transplant surgeon be?
Will he or she be making all the incisions in the graft recipient area, thus determining the design and hair direction of your transplanted hair?
How involved will your surgeon be in the placing of the actual grafts?
Can the surgeon provide a list of names and phone numbers of patients willing to discuss their personal experiences? Patient testimonials will say a lot.
Can the surgeon provide at least one dozen sets of clinical “before” and “after” case photos for your review?
Be sure the photos offer good clarity and detail and include “before” views as well as “after” views that allow for critical evaluation.
