That way, you do not have to come up with the money all at once. Discuss healing with your hair transplant surgeon. Because you may be having plugs removed, you have more healing to do than someone who is having a routine hair transplant. You need to let the plug sites heal as well as the new insertion sites and possible new donor sites.

When you contact a hair restoration surgeon, ask to see a portfolio of patients' photos before and after hair transplant surgery. If you have a high number of hair follicles per square centimeter than most people, more grafts can be done, so your hair will look fuller. 3.

How loose your scalp is helps to decide how many grafts can be done just as hair density does. The most important thing to remember is that you need hair for the hair transplant to your balding areas. 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 the head. They want to wear their hair short, and they see the scar peeking out from under their hair, even if no one else does. Of course, there are also physicians with poor skills who create large scars and people who are prone to scarring. Hair transplant scars are a sore subject for man people. 4. Uneven hairlines.
