Quality Hair Transplants - Or, You Get What You Pay For

Hair transplant surgery is the number one cosmetic procedure chosen by men. While women more often choose liposuction, breast augmentation or reduction, men opt for hair restoration.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, hair loss affects approximately 60 million men and women. By age 50, half of all men will experience some hair loss.

If the procedure is done properly it will be a rewarding experience for the patient.

Conversely, if done improperly, it can become a patient's worst nightmare.

So, how does one choose wisely and evaluate the cost of hair restoration surgery?

Consider these facts:

The gold-standard of medical hair transplant surgery is called 'follicular unit transplant' and you should inquire whether your surgeon is familiar with this procedure https://aribelti.com/

An inexpensive or poorly done hair transplant may cost you more in the long run.

The transplanted hair may not grow, and you may need to repeat the procedure, most likely pay more, and have less donor area to work with. This is the best of the worst case scenarios.

Many doctors perform corrective surgery on patients who exhibit visible scarring from past procedures and may be limited as to what he can do. It is not uncommon to find clients with large, visible scars.

If FUT is performed correctly, scarring is minimal and may not be visible to the casual observer.

Hair restoration surgery is labor intensive and requires skilled staff who earn an above average wage. Would you rather pay less and get less experienced staff when your hairline depends on it?

Cutting tissue under a microscope is not easy. Would you be worried if inexperienced staff were assigned to you? Less experienced staff may not adequately prepare or place the tissue as well as more experienced technicians. Some hair grafts may not survive.

Misplaced tissue will create an environment where the hair will not grow, causing the need for additional surgeries, additional costs and extreme frustration on the part of the patient.

Some practitioners may lower their costs by performing multiple surgeries on the same day. This translates to more revenue for the practice but may not translate into better care for you, the patient.
