AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY?

There are three main factors to determine whether someone suffering from hair loss is a suitable candidate for hair transplantation.  Certain rules need to be determined by your hair care professional before finalizing foregoing with hair transplant surgery. 

 

First

The first step to determining the right candidate for hair transplant surgery is by determining the available grafts that they are able to donate. Suitable candidates must have enough hair to supply the bald areas without causing a balding effect to the donor area. The hair in the donor area must be thick, so that it can provide a reasonable good appearance after the hair transplant.

 

Second

The current age and level of baldness are also very important when considering a hair transplant candidate. The patient is recommended to be at an age where pattern baldness is apparent or eventually will be apparent. Your cosmetic surgeon will be able to give you a better details once he or she has viewed pictures or has seen the patient in person.

 

Third

Because hair grows at a particular angle and in a specific direction, the hair growth patterns must be duplicated as close as possible. When the hair transplant is completed, the restored hair will look natural and no different from the original pattern of hair growth.

Of course, it is also very important that the patient understand all aspects of this cosmetic surgery and is motivated throughout the hair transplant process.
