Judge a hair transplant

One thing that you must do before judging a hair transplant is, judge the surgeon first. It would definitely consume your time and energy to search for a good surgeon but it is mandatory because only a good surgeon performs good surgeries. Do some market research and find the best surgeons. Go to their clinic and check before and after photos of previous patients. Carefully observing the previous surgeries would give a good idea about the surgeon’s expertise and grip over technique. Some good surgeons also arrange your meeting with a previous patient. You can ask if the surgeon provides such an opportunity. Once you have chosen some good surgeons now, compare the result that they offer with the results of best hair transplant in the world. Here are the criteria:

· Frontal hairline must be at an appropriate place. A hairline placed too high or too low not only looks odd but also makes the result of hair transplant clearly visible.

· Thickness and size of the hairline must match the thickness and size of a naturally occurring hairline.

· Transplanted hair must be placed in the right direction.

· Scars, which appear in case of FUE, on the donor area must not be visible with a buzz cut or a minimum of 0.5 inch hair growth.

· Density of hair must match naturally occurring density of hairs in that area.

A common mistake that surgeons often make is restoring a hairline at a position much lower to the naturally occurring hairline. It often occurs in young patients when surgeon forgets the future positioning of hair line and restores hairline at a lower place which is more suitable for younger individual. People with much lower hairlines look odd and others recognize easily that they had a hair transplant.

So, it is well established that you must choose a hair transplant surgeon with great care. I am sure the criteria mentioned above will help you a great deal in judging a surgeon. I wish you all the best for a treatment that would add an everlasting pleasant effect in your appearance.
