  1. Choose Your Doctor Carefully

The success rate of your surgery depends primarily on the experience and surgical skills of the surgeon you choose. Other factors also affect the outcome of procedure, but nothing can outclass the significance of skillful hands. Make sure you opt for a board-certified hair transplant surgeon with at least 5 years of experience and a sound reputation in the market. Better ask people close to you for referrals.

  1. Don’t Let Cheap Price Tempt You

A hair transplant is a onetime investment that pays off for the rest of your life. So, don’t let cheap rates and lucrative offers tempt you. Never compromise on skills and expertise of your surgeon. The more money you invest in, the better the results will be. Always remember, a skilled and reputed surgeon will charge you more than a novice or some not-so-known doctor, but with the former you will be at least guaranteed to get desired results.

  1. Opt For The Right Hair Transplant Technique

Choosing the right technique is also crucial for a successful hair transplant. You must have heard that surgical hair restoration is for everyone. Yes it is! But not everybody is a candidate for every transplantation method. Two most commonly used techniques for surgical hair restoration include: Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The former is relatively less expensive but a person with tight scalp or limited donor hair supply cannot benefit from it. Your surgeon will consider numerous factors – your age, hair type, extent of hair loss and skin laxity etc. – before deciding which technique will be best for you.

  1. Timing Of Surgery

Timing of surgery also plays a key role in determining the outcome of your surgery. If you get a hair transplant done while your hair loss is still progressing, chances are high that you will need a second transplant after a few years. The best time to get surgical hair restoration done is at least a year after hair loss has completely stopped. Surgeons do not recommend a hair transplant for patients under 25.

  1. Pre And Post-Procedural Care

Pre- and post-procedural care is also extremely important if you really want your hair transplant surgery to be a big time success. Your surgeon will provide you with a list of pre- and post-op instructions. Follow them carefully and stay assured the transplanted hair follicles will grow successfully into natural looking, permanent hair.

It is pertinent to mention here that to be content with the outcome of your surgery, it is important that you set realistic expectations. The surgery will restore a fuller head of hair but don’t expect the hair density to be exactly the same that you had before.
