Being affected by hair loss is a bit like going through the 4 stages of grief. We start with denial (“I’m not losing my hair; I’ve always had a really high forehead”) and move with anger (“I wish I didn’t have a father who was bald in his thirties!”), bargaining (“I’ll never complain about shaving again if I just keep my natural hair”) , depression (“This can’t happen to me, I’m only 34 and look like 50”), and finally acceptance (“Sigh!”).
The good news is that your journey doesn’t have to end with acceptance. With a hair transplant, this is just beginning. First stage: Choosing a hair transplant technician.
Getting a Hair Transplant Is Like Making a Work of Art
Whether you have just heard about the benefits of hair transplantation or have already done a lot of research, choosing a hair transplant technician is the most important decision you will make. It’s a bit like hiring someone to make a painting or any piece of art. Whether you want to proudly show the result to the world will depend almost entirely on the artist. How good it is depends on the right mix of artistic talent and experience.
Here are five things to look for when choosing a hair transplant technician or doctor:
1. Are they experts in hair transplantation?
Most plastic surgery practices offer a wide range of services, including hair restoration. From a surgeon’s perspective, they are relatively easy procedures to add to your hair transplant catalog. How hard can training be? You must not be deceived. Just because they’re in a nice office and have several board certifications doesn’t mean they know a lot about hair transplants. Although hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, it does not have much in common with regular surgery. It requires dexterity, an aesthetic eye, patience and plenty of experience. A clinic or technician specializing in hair restoration will often do better than a plastic surgeon who does tummy tuck and breast augmentation and the occasional hair transplant.
2. What are their qualifications and experience?
Being trained in hair restoration equipment is only part of a technician’s qualification. The longer the experience with real patients, the better the hair transplant technician. A good Kadınsacekimi.com Technician will have more than 10 years of experience. Once you’ve done your research, you’ll start with the hair clinic’s website. Search for hair transplant technicians on the “Meet the Team” page and see what their qualifications are. How long have they had hair transplants and are they doing FUT or FUE transplants or both? If this information isn’t readily available online, these are good questions to ask when calling the office to set up your appointment.
3. What is their past performance?
Going back to the painting analogy, you’ll obviously want to see previous examples of the artist’s work. The same is true for the hair transplant technician. The website may have before and after pictures, but some of these may also be manufacturer pictures. Be sure to see pictures of the technician’s personal work. For privacy reasons some offices don’t display most of the pictures online, but they keep a nice volume of before and after photos in their offices. Looking through such a book during your consultation will help you determine whether you like the technician’s work, especially on patients with hairstyles similar to yours. Written or video references may also be helpful. They can help you decide if you’d be comfortable with a particular technician, his style, and his “bed demeanor.”
4. Which hair transplant method do they use?
Some hair replacement centers offer different types of hair transplants, and some specialize in a particular type. There is nothing wrong with either approach, but you need to make sure that the technician you choose has experience with the transplant you want. While you have decided that you prefer Kadınsacekimi.com, they may prefer to apply the strip method. Surgically removing a strip of the scalp is a very different skill than removing individual hair follicles best suited for implantation. You want a technician with the right skill set and practicing it regularly.
