Is it possible to drive myself home after my hair transplant?
Answer:
Yes, but not advisable. If you have taken a Valium and an Ambien as most patients do in our office driving is inappropriate until 4-6 hours after the end of your procedure to be on the safe side.
I've heard you can return to work pretty quickly after a hair transplant, but is it obvious to people that you've had something done?
Answer:
In 4-5 days you will look practically as though nothing was done. The strip donor site should hide nicely and most of the scabs should have fallen off.
Is it normal practice for doctors to require a deposit before a hair transplant?
Answer:
Certainly a deposit is required by almost all surgeons when booking a specific surgery date. Surgeons cannot tie up precious surgical time without a guarantee that a patient will show up for surgery.
If I get a HT at 30, how many times would I need to come back as I keep losing it?
Answer:
You will not lose the transplanted hair as it is permanent for your whole life. However you may continue to lose your own untransplanted hair due to your genetics. You may need subsequent transplant work over the years as further hair loss dictates.
Yes. Few surgeons have the time to do hair implantation and if they do they are not busy with the important stuff. That is why our office has technicians that have great experience and training and compliment the surgeons work so that he can concentrate on design work and graft retrieval
Is it true that hair transplant hair isn't as dense as a normal head of hair?
Answer:
A hair transplant does not always achieve the same density as the surrounding hair. However if good donor hair is available and your surgeon has excellent experience the difference can be minimal and totally unnoticeable. The goal by any good transplant surgeon is to reproduce the natural density wherever and whenever possible.
Answer: Number one is: consistently natural looking results across all hair and patient types. You should be happy to have the head of hair results you see in the book. If not, go somewhere else.
