The procedure of hair transplantation is an individualized one. If you want to ensure that you have access to all surgical options, look for a doctor with experience performing flaps, tissue expansions, and transplants.
A hair transplant surgeon will evaluate your hair growth and loss during your initial consultation, along with your family history of hair loss. The surgeon will also ask you about your lifestyle and discuss your surgical expectations and goals with you.
You should also discuss with your surgeon any medical conditions that could cause problems during or after surgery, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood clotting problems or excessive scarring. If you smoke or take any drugs or medications, especially aspirin or other blood clotting medications, tell your surgeon.
In the event that you decide to have hair transplant surgery, your surgeon will explain the type of anesthesia, the type of facility in which the procedure will be conducted, as well as the risks and costs involved. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask your doctor.
Make sure you understand your surgeon’s plan: which procedures will be performed and how long they will take. Provide your doctor with an idea of what you will look like after the procedure or, if grafts are being used, after each stage.
There has been a great deal of progress in hair transplant surgery in recent years. In recent years, technological advancements have made the procedure safer, more efficient, and more successful.
Even though it is difficult to provide a definitive answer to the success rate of hair transplants, as there are various techniques available, it is estimated that 90-95% of transplanted hair grafts will survive. Most hair transplants will be successful, but full results can take up to 18 months to appear.
You should notice new growth within a few months after surgery after the transplanted hair falls out within 2 to 3 weeks. In most cases, new hair will begin to grow after 6 to 9 months. After transplantation, many surgeons prescribe minoxidil (Rogaine), a hair-growing drug, to assist the process.
Hair transplant surgery is generally recommended for patients over the age of 30. It is recommended that patients younger than 30 consider hair loss medications first in order to stabilize their hair loss before considering surgery like an FUE hair transplant. The reason for this is that young patients may continue to lose hair after having a hair transplant, jeopardizing the results of the procedure.
Hair transplantation should only be considered by patients whose hair loss has stabilized. Taking medications or aging can cause hair loss to stabilize. For more information about hair loss experienced at any age, you can contact a professional hair transplant clinic.
It is estimated that the average cost of a hair transplant is between $4,000 and $15,000. It is common for all these costs to be paid out of pocket. A hair transplant is usually considered a cosmetic procedure by insurance companies and usually not covered.
Hair transplantation costs vary depending on a number of factors. A surgeon’s fee can be affected by the relative cost of living in the area and the number of surgeons nearby offering the procedure. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are two types of hair transplantation. There is a difference in cost between each hair transplant method. When a few patches of hair are added, the cost will be significantly less than when the entire scalp is covered in hair.
