How to Choose Hair Transplant Doctor

Hair restoration surgery not always successful, many fail or cost too much money. To perform transplantation surgery and deliver good restoration, you need a good and experience doctor. Unfortunately this information not transparently discloses. And there is no Law in the US requires hair surgeon to o have any special credentials to perform hair transplant surgery. Many times customers have limited information on their doctor competence and experience.

At these circumstances, a direct recommendation from someone you know and already have this procedure is one of the best choices. If you decide to have a hair transplant, there are several things you have to consider when choosing hair transplant doctor:

• The most important thing is to choose the best and experienced hair implant surgeon, even though they are generally cost higher. Advanced hair restoration required skillful doctor, one time pricey successful restoration values more than cheap failed hair implant but of course cheap experience doctor is always the best.
• Ask for doctor credential, their previous successful customers photo before and after restoration and if possible contact number; a happy customer usually will share their experience. Also ask for customer’s photo portfolio. When look at a portfolio of patients' photos before and after hair transplant surgery, you should be suspicious if you are shown only several sets of photo. This probably means the surgeon does not have much experience to show you. On the other hand, you should carefully look at the photo quality also; the pictures shouldn’t small and have good quality so you can easily notice the result.
• You can also get some advice if you go to certain hair surgery associations. There are a few associations you can contact such as: The International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons, The American Academy of Dermatology, The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.
• Ask for the ball park of the hair transplant cost; an experience hair transplant surgeon will tell you the exact procedures, hair donor, and estimate the number of grafts required. If the doctor you see cannot give you the ballpark, it may be wiser to search for another doctor. And it’s always a good thing to have a second opinion before you decide. Just for illustration: average male Caucasian has a density of one pair of hair per millimeter; so in every inch there are around 1250 hairs. If every graft has 2 hairs, it would be 625 grafts per square inch.

Hair restoration is like any cosmetic surgery, it may succeed or failed. There are many aspects involved. Good hair surgery doctors will disclose your current conditions before suggesting any solutions and how long the process will take. 

Hair restoration takes times, money and patient/commitment. Before looking for hair surgery doctor you have to be sure you have these requirements and not to stop in the middle of the process otherwise you just waste your money and time.
