Undoubtedly, the specialty and expertise of different types of hair transplant surgeries have recently undergone several profound changes over the previous 5-7 years, but not all for the better. Nowadays, traditional print media, radio, television, and social media platforms market hair loss products and hair loss treatments as a more risk-free and guaranteed service as opposed to many local hair procedures.
Therefore, in this article, we are here with an indentation to steer you and all other patients suffering from hair fall issues in a more honest direction. That is crucial so that you know what should anyone look for and ask a hair transplant surgeon.
Things to Ask from a Hair Transplant Surgeon
Before going for a hair transplant or hair fall treatment, be sure to ask and do the following things from your concerned hair specialist surgeon:
Before and after photos
Ask your hair transplant surgeon to take and show you a minimum of 10 sets of before and after treatment photos of hair transplant surgery that they have done before. That too:
Taken from the same angle
In the same lighting
Clearly showing the hairline
Clear mid-anterior scalp
Indicating the top area between the crown and hairline
Such pictures typically ensure that there exist no inconsistencies when looking at individual previous cases, freely allowing you to truthfully and adequately compare the hair transplant transformations.
Donor scars
Also, ask your hair transplant surgeon for the FUT or FUE pictures of donor scars present on the scalp’s back after hair-bearing tissue removal during the hair transplantation technique. But remember, unfortunately, nowadays, you are mostly presented with prospective patients’ images and videos. That means the images shown may not be really the patients of your concerned physician with whom you are consulting. Therefore, always ask examples of actual patients that they have treated themselves and practiced upon.
Contact previous patients
Request and ask for the names and contact details of at least 5-6 patients of the hair transplant surgeon that is going to handle your care. You can contact those patients to discuss the results of their hair loss treatment and their experience with your physician or the staff at his clinic. Also, speak with two to three physicians who have already seen the services and works of your surgeon and his entire team.
See similar cases
Try to look for and meet the patients suffering from similar skin, hair and nail conditions as you as they will be having the same characteristic features and ask them which hair fall treatment has proven the best for them so that you can go for it too. Also, discussing your problem with similar patients will let you see and assess the performance of the ability of your concerned hair transplant surgeon. That will help you determine whether he can provide you with a beneficial or realistic outcome or not.
FUT or FUE
Last but not least, it is crucial for you to note which type of hair transplant surgery you are going to have. Nowadays, a large number of cosmetic clinics offer their hair transplantation services and in-person consultations for free to attract massive potential patients. So, remember, do not be deterred by a hair transplant surgeon charging a consultation fee or high hair fall treatment prices from his patients. If you are a good enough candidate for some surgical hair intervention, sometimes consultation fees are deducted from the overall hair transplant surgery cost.
