What makes for a good hair transplant surgeon?
A good doctor is ethical, organized in the surgery and good with his hands. He/she must have good judgment and think about the patient’s welfare before his own financial needs (this is not as common as I would like to see it, unfortunately). For example, delaying a surgery is sometimes a better decision but the surgeon makes no money. Also, performing 1000 more grafts than are needed fills the surgeon’s wallet but doesn’t do much for the patient’s future hair loss needs. The surgeon must always think ‘long-term’ when thinking about the patient’s potential future hair loss so taking out too many grafts (a common activity today) doesn’t reflect well on the surgeon’s ethics. I would be skeptical if a surgeon unleashes a salesperson on you, to “Close the deal” for your hair transplant. That is like a used car salesman, not a good ethical surgeon.
