April 22, 2010 By

If you are going to consider whether you should have hair transplant surgery you need to make sure that you are taking many factors into account. This is a decision that you must make intelligently and have a throrough understanding of not only yourself but the procedure. You need to realize if your expectations for the results of your surgery are realistic.

Many people think that the surgery will be able to totally fill in their hairline and they will have no baldness whatsoever. Sometimes this is possible but sometimes it is not. You will have to discuss all of this with your doctor and he or she will explain exactly what you can expect to happen. In most cases if a person has extremely advanced baldness they will not have enough hair follicles in the donor area to totally fill in the bald areas. The thing to remember though is that any improvement is just that, improvement.

If your hair is curly and it will look denser and will be easier for the surgeon to cover the bald areas. If you have an adequate amount of donor hair and if that hair is in good condition then the results will be better from the surgery. The more follicles that the doctor can hair transplant the better. Additionally there are some times that after surgery at the area where the skin was taken from can relax a little.

If this happens then it is possible that the surgeon might be able to take additional strips of donor hair. For some men this doesn’t happen and the scalp gets tighter which means that there will be no more donor hair able to be removed. Another fact that the doctor will consider is the patient’s age. This can help a surgeon predict how much more hair loss the patient can expect in the future.
