Starting to Think About Hair Transplant Surgery? Read This First.

With a successful transplant, it will be impossible for others to see that a transplant has taken place.

Hair transplant surgery is a major commitment. It's elective surgery and you should know ALL the facts before you move forward. It can be valuable to start the process by considering the value of the surgery. How will it change and affect your life? If you believe there's significant value to having a full head of hair then move forward with your education and research.

Start by learning about the advanced hair restoration procedures available. The field has changed dramatically in the last five years. When you're considering hair restoration, look at before and after photos from the surgeon you're investigating. Ask the surgeon if you can speak with his or her patients. You can generally expect the best results with an experienced surgeon who has the latest equipment and is using the most advanced techniques.

The first step when you visit a surgeon is the evaluation of your suitability for hair transplant surgery. The surgeon will evaluate hair density, thickness, color, and other factors. The goal is to create a full head of natural hair by transplanting healthy hair follicles; the surgeon implants these follicles into the balding areas of the scalp.

With a successful transplant, it will be impossible for others to see that a transplant has taken place. The microscopic surgery takes place under local anesthetic and there is no need to visit a hospital. The surgery is minimally invasive and there is very little discomfort. Hair from the 'feeder' area looks normal after surgery.

When it comes to taking time off work, you will only need to take 2-3 days off. However, it's important to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks. Full recovery and hair restoration takes 6-8 months.

These are just a few of the important facts. However, there's much more to discover. When you're ready to look into hair transplant surgery or if you have any questions, please speak with the experts at Mane Image. Schedule a complimentary scalp analysis at Mane Image now.
