Hair Transplant Quality Questions

[hellzone]

Hello everyone, 

I am currently engaged with several doctors to book an appointment for a hair transplant. I have been asking a few questions to understand how the procedure will be done and was wondering if anyone can validate the answers to the questions. I would like to understand if any of these answers raise red flags or require follow-ups? Is there anything else I should be asking?

1. Are there any guarantees on the quality of the hair transplant? A hair transplant is not something that can be guaranteed. Many different situation can happen that are outside the surgeons hands.
2. What size is the extraction tool? It’s not something that can be determined remotely. It depends on the hair characteristics. Usually 0.85mm-0.95mm
3. How does the doctor do the apertures? With a blade or directly with the implanter pen. Depends on the scalp elasticity
4. Will there be any techs involved or is all the work done by the Doctor? There are always techs involved in the surgery. They have many duties for assisting. The surgical parts of the hair transplant is only by a doctor
5. How does he do the harvesting? What type of machine is used? It’s called mamba trivelini
6. How is the hairline decided/recreated? Based on the face and scalp shape , age , hair characteristics taking into account a long term approach. Donor are availability is also a big factor in designing a hairline
7. Do you keep track of transection rate and provide that information to your patients? No. Graft Transaction is more at the growth phase
