When going to an initial consultation regarding a hair transplant procedure, there are several factors to be aware of – and a series of questions you should ask.
Some doctors specialize in beard or facial hair transplants, some may specialize in transplants on the scalp, and some may treat either men or women (but not both). Others do it all.
It is important to have an idea of exactly where you want more hair to grow. The doctor can advise you during the consultation about the various methods available, the pros and cons of each, and the respective costs.
Certain methods are more invasive and therefore take longer to heal, but they tend to be cheaper than transplants that incur smaller incisions and a shorter healing time. If you have a preferred method, it is important that you find out beforehand whether the doctor performs that type of transplant – to ensure the trip is not a waste of time.
How Do I Choose the Right Clinic for My Hair Transplant?
Most hair-transplant physicians and clinics offer a free initial consultation. A lot can be gleaned from this appointment, such as the level of professionalism of the practice and experience of the doctor.
Factors that should also influence your decision are seeing images of the doctor’s past work, the various methods offered, and pricing and finance options. The doctor should be concerned with how hair loss affects you, and they should also help you decide which method would offer the best results – whether it be a transplant, augmentation, or restoration solution.
Discussing Hair Treatments with a Doctor
An experienced hair-transplant doctor will explain the various treatment options and will recommend which avenues of treatment will likely offer the best chances of success in your case. During the initial consultation, the doctor will show “before” and “after” pictures of previous patients who have undergone various types of treatment.
All hair treatments nowadays are done on an outpatient basis, and they are usually performed in a suite right at the doctor’s office. The doctor will ask what methods or treatments you’ve used to combat hair loss in the past, as well as degrees of success obtained.
After building a history of your hair loss, you and the doctor can create a plan to combat it – and enjoy the benefits of hair replacement, augmentation, or whichever method is decided.
What Results Can I Expect?
Any hair transplant or augmentation is permanent. The transplanted hair will initially fall out, then the transplanted tissues will spurt new growth that will remain.
However, if a person continually experiences thinning or additional receding hair patterns following hair transplant surgery, the need for a second surgery is possible. After one area is fixed, that area should last for the lifetime of the patient – but the progressive nature associated with pattern baldness will continue affecting the areas that weren’t treated.
