Most people considering surgical hair restoration are unaware of the scope and possible pitfalls of this medical specialty. While some perspective patients may understand the basic science behind these procedures, few have any grasp of the aesthetics and artistry required to perform them well. Unfortunately, many of the physicians who perform these procedures are as ill informed as their patients.Flashy marketing and high-pressure sales pitches dominate the field, making truly objective and rational decision making by the patient nearly impossible. In general, hair transplantation is not handled as the medical specialty that it is, one that serves patients, but rather as a business that serves consumers.
With that said, The American Hair loss Association fully endorses surgical hair restoration for those candidates who can benefit from the procedure. It is important to note, however, that there are only a handful of qualified surgeons and surgical staffs performing hair restoration surgery in the US and worldwide. In this section you will learn what questions to ask during your consults, as well as what to look for and what to avoid when choosing a hair restoration surgeon.
