A Preview of Your Hair Transplant Consultation

During your introductory meeting with your surgeon, the two of you review your family history of hair loss – as well as your personal history, discuss whether you’ve had other elective hair transplant procedures, evaluate your hair growth and loss – and most importantly discuss your expectations.

When you discuss expectations, we advise that you ask your doctor to give you an idea of what to expect with regard to procedure, healing time, and what the final outcome will look like.

Your surgeon will ask about your lifestyle and share with you results you can expect when complete. Medical conditions that could cause problems during or after surgery, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood-clotting or the tendency to form excessive scars, should all be discussed in exhaustive detail.

You will need to tell your surgeon of ANY medications you regularly take or have taken within the past few weeks as well as an overview of your health. Do not be bashful. We have heard it all before and we can only make the most informed decision about the best course of treatment based on your hair condition, health, and expectations if you give us a complete and accurate picture.

When you leave the office we want you to understand your procedure completely. If you do not, stay, and ask questions, until you do. Be sure you understand the amount of time required for each graft procedure, the number of sessions predicted for your individual case, and the number of grafts performed during each session.
