How to Tell Between Good and Bad Hair Transplants

A good hair transplant may enhance your love life, career and self esteem, or, at least, that's what you tell yourself. But that transplant can undermine you if everybody can spot it. You should be able to judge the quality of a transplant with your eyes.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Educate yourself by reading books, talking to people, and searching the web. Take it slow and be patient because the answers are there.
2. Read the history of hair transplants and find out how plugs, scalp reductions and down right quackery gave hair restoration such a bad rap. Find out the step by step improvements that have taken place recently to improve the reputation of this procedure.
3. Understand that everyone today is not using state of the art techniques. Many doctors today do not have the credentials, expertise, experience or commitment to do excellent work in this highly skilled medical cosmetic surgery field.
4. Check out some of the Resources below to begin your hair transplant study. Ask the right questions at the blog sites. Look at pictures of good hair restoration and bad hair restoration.
5. Read testimonials and talk to some of the people who've had the procedures. Call well-known surgeons with good reputations and talk to top assistants or doctors and ask them how to tell between good and bad hair transplants. They will tell you.
6. Look at the many pictures on hair transplant sites of before and after surgeries, of restoration work good surgeons have performed because an unskilled doctor put the hair in an area that soon was surrounded by a sea of baldness, or who used grafts that were visibly too large and that looked unnatural, who placed hair so it grew at an odd angle or direction.
7. Understand that rarely do you see big plugs used for hair transplants today. But many if not most of the surgeons out there are not doing state-of-the-art work, and it is very easy to get a bad hair transplant. Things can go wrong. So find out and do it right, if you decide to do this.
