Are you a good candidate for Hair Transplant Surgery?

Indeed, hair transplant surgery is not for everyone. But you will never know if you are a good candidate if you don’t find out. You may be surprised.

The most important thing to remember is that you need hair for the hair transplant to be done. The hair has to come from somewhere on your body. Wherever you take the hair from is called the donor site. There can be different donor sites for different people.

The most common donor site for hair transplant surgery is on your head. If the sides and back of your head have full lustrous hair, you are in luck. This hair can be used as donor hair to replace the hair you have lost on your bald spots.

A new procedure allows doctors to use donor hair from other parts of the body. For example, if a man has a particularly hairy chest, some hair can be used from that area as donor hair for the head. This hair transplant procedure requires a surgeon skilled in the latest techniques to keep scarring to a minimum.

Another aspect of choosing donor sites is the colour of the hair. If it does not match the area around the bald area, it will look unnatural. The texture should be even as well as the waviness or curliness of the donor hair and the area of hair around the bald area.

If you have lost your hair due to genetics, or family history, you will likely be a good candidate for hair transplant surgery. Men who have hair loss in their families usually have a good idea of the way the baldness pattern will play out.

Your relatives may have had hair that went bald into a horseshoe pattern and held at that stage. If this is the case, your surgeon will know what to expect. Then, he can take “bald-proof” hair from the sides and back of your head as donor hair and perform the hair transplant.

If you have lost your hair because of some kind of trauma or burns, you will also make a good candidate for hair transplant surgery. This is because the hair you still have will probably still be healthy. It will provide good donor hair for your hair transplant. The most likely situation is that you will have enough hair to make this possible. However, if you have lost too much hair, a hair transplant may not be possible.

You can benefit greatly from hair transplant surgery if it is right for you. Do not give up on it until you talk to a surgeon. If your surgeon says that you are not a good candidate for hair transplant surgery, you may want to get a second opinion. However, if you are a good candidate for the procedure, it is nice to know that there is a good reason you are being accepted. It will make you more confident in your surgeon.
