Thanks for the reply.
I have no had one yet, I’m concerned about having one but then either suffering more hairloss or not being fully happy with the results.
I have never seen someone’s name photos or videos who have shaved there head a few years after having a HT.
Hello
@Hollinrj , there are quite a few issues that you raise here, The first is the potential for future hair loss after an initial hair transplant. Prior to considering a hair transplant often it´s prudent to look at hair retention. Your age, current hair loss pattern, family hair loss patterns overtime in relation to yours today. Whether you have used treatment or willing to use treatment. How well treatment manages to stabilise and maybe improve your hair and whether you will continue long-term after a hair transplant. These are issues you need to think of and discuss with a hair restoration surgeon as it will affect the planning of your hair restoration.
If your expectations are high, there is nothing wrong with that as long as they are realistic and can be achieved technically and will look natural long-term. Expectations are important to qualify again with a hair restoration surgeon prior to making any decision. A perfectly good hair transplant can be performed but if the individual had different ideas then it could result in them being unhappy. If your expectations are unrealistic on a technical or aesthetic level then it´s best to not have a hair transplant in the first place.
It´s important for everyone to appreciate a hair transplant is a surgical procedure. Regardless of the technique scarring, hopefully minimal, but will be left. The scalp is changed in both the recipient and donor areas. Shaved or longer hair on inspection it maybe possible to see a surgical procedure has been performed. Obviously a competent and experienced surgeon the negative changes will be very minimal. It sounds like you are doing the right things and researching, this will help you to first qualify if your expectations are realistic as well as finding the Dr you feel is right for you. As a result, greatly minimising the chances you will not be happy. Hope your research goes well.
