surgery:
Q1: Am I the right candidate for

suitable candidate for the procedure or not which can be confirmed by the hair transplant doctor you have
booked consultation with.
Some
indications are as follows:
1. Any
patient with baldness with good quality/quantity of follicles in donor area.
2. Patient
with good systemic health.
3. Patient
with realistic expectations.
Caution should be
exercised in cases of:

patients with pattern baldness

grade VI and VII with inadequate quality/quantity of hair follicles at donor
area
3. Patient’s
unrealistic expectations from hair transplant
4. Alopecia
areata

it is of utmost importance to schedule primary consultation before making up
your mind for this procedure.
Q2:
Which clinic to choose?
Ans: Choosing
the right surgeon and clinic is the most essential requirement to achieve best
results which are permanent and natural. Never go with the spur of the moment
and think wisely before trusting a clinic. Including, never just rely on
monetary issues to opt for a clinic as expertise, qualification and experience
matters the most for desirable results and handful amount extra for trusted
results is worth spending.
Q3: Are the results long lasting
and natural?
Ans:
The Good news is yes, when performed by expert and experienced hair transplant doctors it will surely
last for lifetime. The choice of technique, avoiding violation of safe area,
judicious decision of number of graft extracted and expertise of the surgeon
are the few factors considered to achieve long lasting results. Including
natural results could only be attained by a surgeon who pursues artistic
approach of hair line designing which is rare to find. The angulations of
implanting grafts and understanding of implantation pattern in frontal and
temporal aspect are the few considerations to achieve natural looking results.
Q4: How much to expect?
Ans: Firstly,
Hair transplantation is a restoration procedure and not a regeneration
procedure. It involves shifting of
androgen insensitive hair follicles from back and side of the head (donor area)
to frontal and vertex area of scalp (recipient area). It is mandatory to make
up your mind for realistic expectation as this procedure cannot deliver head
full of dense hair as once hair follicles lost are lost for lifetime. This
procedure delivers fuller look depending upon your left out hair in the donor
area.
Q5: Which technique to opt for?
Ans:
The choice of technique depends on Norwood’s classification of extent of hair loss, age of
the patient, quality and quantity of your available donor hair and area of
baldness which is best suitable suggested by the hair transplant doctor. On an average note, more number of grafts
(3000-3500 grafts) if required could be harvested by FUT technique and FUE hair
transplant is preferred when there is need of lesser number of grafts
(2000-2500 grafts). In cases of extensive hair loss combination technique of
FUT and FUE hair transplant is preferred.
