Loading ...Making the decision to have hair restoration surgery is a big move. Some people may find the procedure embarassing, even the thought of going to the clinic can be frightening.
We’ve all seen the results of poorly performed hair transplants on TV, this is enough to put some people off the thought for life. But there are outstanding, professional surgeons out there that can perform indetectable hair transplants.
So how do you go about finding one of these reputable hair transplant surgeons?
Firstly, check your doctors credentials, if you are in the US, they should be a member of most, if not all of the following organizations:
- AHLC: American Hair Loss Council
- ISHRS: International Society for Hair Restoration Surgeons
- ABHRS: American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery
- AACS: The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery
Secondly, find a doctor who is willing to sit down and talk to you about your options. The more time that the doctor is willing to sit with you and answer questions, the more likely it is that he is a professional, ethical surgeon. You should get the feeling from talking to the surgeon that he has your best outcomes, not his bottom line, as his first priority.
Thirdly, a doctor should be comfortable discussing with you the risks involved in the procedure. A doctor who glosses over the risks and possible complications should be avoided.
Fourth, ask to see some before and after pics of surgeries that the doctor has performed. The doctor should be able to show you actual photos, not a glossy brochure.
Finally, do an internet search on the name of your doctor. This will give you an indication of both their involvement in the industry, and any negative feedback people may have posted on forums or blogs.
After going through this process, you will know if you are comfortable with the doctor you have chosen. Don’t make this decision in haste, finding the right hair transplant surgeon for your particular needs and circumstances is a very important process.
