Before you are approved for a hair transplant procedure, the doctor will have to sign off on you. You must be deemed appropriate for the surgery. It may seem that everyone would be approved, but there are several reasons why you may not be. The doctor will explore both the hair loss you have suffered, and the hair growth you still have. For whatever reason, some hair transplant patients are not getting the number of grafts on their balding areas as they are billed. This is testified by certain doctors who have seen the results. The density of hair on these patients' heads is not commensurate with the number of grafts they supposedly got. The way your hair color compares to your skin color will have an effect on the look of your hair transplant. If you have a hair color that is similar to the color of your skin, you are in luck. Your scalp will not betray any lack of coverage that happens to be present. If, on the other hand, your hair and skin color contrast distinctly hair follicles show up more. Scientists are working together to find a way to make the surgery work for more people. They also want to see it work better for the types of people who have hair transplants today. One area of research is hair cloning. Hair cloning promises to be a revolutionary procedure that would give people with little hair a chance to have hair transplant surgeries. It was agonizing for this group of young people because thinning, balding, and receding hairlines often started before they got out of their teens. Now the procedure is being opened to young men - but with restrictions. Because losing hair at such a young age is very traumatic, hair transplant doctors do not like to go along with the patients' snap decisions. Excessive drinking may be a problem due to anesthesia and medications you have to take in the course of having your hair transplant done, so you may be asked to refrain from drinking until your head has healed. You may even be told whether or not to take certain vitamins and medications. The doctor will discuss where your hair transplant procedure will take place.
