Finding the Best Hair Transplant in USA
The effects of hair loss can be crushing for both men and women. Those experiencing the loss of their hair often feel embarrassed and self-conscious, like they are losing a part of themselves. And in fact, they are in a way.
Fortunately, there are procedures that can provide a hair transplant for women and men in this position. They are actually quite common. You may know, for example, that the prevalence of celebrity hair transplant surgery is very frequent indeed (though most celebs don’t like to talk about it).
A qualified surgeon at the best hair transplant clinic in USA will be able to give you back a full, lush head of hair without any sign of surgery and with a strong and natural hairline. Of course, locating a surgeon who can adequately achieve this goal is harder than it may seen. Here are some tips for finding the best hair transplant in USA.
The Importance of Choosing From the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in USA
Hair restoration surgery should not be taken lightly. In other words, only a highly qualified plastic surgeon should perform hair transplantation — one who has been board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who has performed hair loss treatment (hair transplants) many times.
There are very unique skills required to carefully remove hair grafts from donor locations and precisely transplant the hair follicles to where you are experiencing hair loss or male pattern baldness. You want someone who has been specifically trained in understanding natural hair growth and how to perform every stage of transplantation.
Use the following tips and advice to find such a well-qualified surgeon.
Ask about board certification.
Unfortunately, many med spas and other clinics will claim their clinicians can adequately perform this procedure when in reality, the clinicians are not board certified. This can mean that they lack the skill and training needed for these advanced procedures.
The truth is, board certification is a long and arduous process that not many professionals end up going through. But it’s worth it to find someone who is board certified (by the American Board of Plastic Surgery). They will be the best in terms of both technique and outcome and safety and ethics.
Review their patient testimonials.
After each hair restoration procedure they perform, most hair restoration surgeons will ask their patient to give a patient review or testimonial. These are often posted on the surgeons website for prospective patients (like you!) to read.
Whether a patient undergoes a follicular unit transplant, a follicular unit extraction (follicular unit excision), or another one of the hair restoration techniques available, you should be able to read a detailed review of their experience.
Research their practice’s reputation.
Look to third-party websites to read about your surgeon’s practice from a more objective point of view. There are several websites that will put past patient reviews and overall ratings for various medical facilities and practices. While these are not always trustworthy (use your best judgement), you can usually get a general idea of the reputation a hair transplant doctor has from these resources.
Assess their hair transplant before and after photos.
Before and after photos from your surgeon’s past surgical hair restoration procedures can show how they perform surgery, the success of their outcomes, and the hair transplant techniques they use most frequently.
You should see natural looking hairlines, lush full hair on the top and sides of the head, and patients who look great and like they haven’t experienced hair loss or hair thinning at all.
Consider their awards and recognitions.
It’s all the better if you can find a surgeon with many accolades to his or her name. This shows that they are concerned with ongoing education and showing their skill and expertise among their peers. It also shows recognition within the broader plastic surgery community.
FAQ: Hair Transplant Surgery and Surgeons
Does hair transplant surgery hurt?
The surgery itself will not hurt as anesthesia will be used. Recovery does involve some soreness.
What will my hair transplant look like after 10 years?
Typically, a hair transplant after 10 years has fared fairly well. You should still have your new follicles and hair shafts intact on the front and top of your hair after 10 years. Of course, occasionally, a patient will come in for an additional hair transplant procedure if they feel they are again experiencing hair loss or thinning hair.
