"I'm Dr. Jeffrey Epstein of The Foundation for Hair Restoration. With offices in south Florida and New York. So what are the advantages and disadvantages that a patient needs to consider before undergoing a hair transplant procedure? Well the main advantage is quite obvious. If you've got hair loss or areas of your scalp or your body that don't have hair and you wish to have hair growing. Then a hair transplant performed properly and when you find a top surgeon it will be performed properly. Your going to solve your problem. The side effects of having more hair in my patients. I see things as increased confidence. Increased social ability and I think that those are all things that come from patients that feel more comfortable. Having the head of hair that they once had. What are the disadvantage? Well there's a cost involved and if you get it done by a top surgeon it will be, it's not a cheep procedure. But then of course if it's not done properly and that's where a big disadvantage would be. Not performed properly and an individual going to be walking around for the rest of their life with an unnatural result. So overall if the patient does their homework.
