I am considering a hair transplant!

A hair transplant is a significant decision that should not be taken lightly. Most importantly, you must realize that hair loss is a progressive process, so getting a hair transplant may not solve your hair loss problem down the road. When considering a hair transplant, you must know (1) the worst-case badling pattern that you might end up with, (2) your donor supply i.e. how many grafts do you have in your lifetime to cover future balding? (3) how many grafts are you going to use now? (4) when will you deplete your donor supply such that it, too, will become see-through or significantly bald? (5) what is the quality of your hair (individual hair thickness) in the donor area, hair character (curly vs straight), and lastly what is the color contrast between your hair and skin color?  Many undertrained doctors, and especially technicians who mostly need help understanding what I am talking about (above), are the ones who are doing surgeries in Turkey for the money. Many of these surgical technician-run clinics (some have doctors who front the process) are destroying the donor area and failing on the hair transplants, damning their victims with (a) terrible results, (b) not enough donor supply left to fix the failed hair transplant and (c) balding or bald donor areas. I hope that those of you considering a hair transplant find a good surgeon who understands all of the above and can give you the confidence of a long-term Personalized Master Plan, which is what I have done for all of my surgical patients throughout my career.
