Selecting a Surgeon

Finding a qualified surgeon that you trust to perform your hair transplant surgery is an important step.

Hair Transplant SurgeonYou can contact the American Board of Medical Specialties (www.abms.org) to check your doctor’s certification.

Keep in mind that it is best to obtain several consultations before choosing one doctor. Speaking with several surgeons will allow you to compare and contrast your experiences, and ultimately make the best choice.

If you have found a surgeon, there are some steps to follow in order to ensure his or her qualifications:

  • Begin by asking the physician for a recommendation. Most qualified surgeons will be glad to offer you the contact information of previous patients.
  • - During your first consultation, your surgeon should discuss your goals and expectations with you to ensure that you are realistic about the results of the procedure.
  • Your surgeon should also discuss the details of the procedure with
    you
    , including all the benefits and risks of the surgery. You should not
    feel pressured by your surgeon in any way to go through with the
    procedure.
  • The surgeon should discuss the possibilities through surgery, along with his or her expectations, the possible techniques, the limitations, and any risks that may be involved.
  • The surgeon should also have before and after photographs of previous patients for you to review.
  • The surgeon should also provide you with information concerning the surgical facility to be used, anesthesia, and the costs associated with the procedure.
  • The surgeon should conduct a thorough medical history check, looking for any medical conditions that can cause problems during or after surgery.
  • Prior to surgery, the doctor should provide you with specific pre-operative instructions on how to prepare for the surgery. These may include guidelines on eating, drinking, smoking, the avoidance of certain vitamins and medications, and other important considerations.

Questions to ask your surgeon:

  • Do you specialize in hair transplant surgery?
  • How many hair transplant surgeries do you perform per year?
  • How many years have you been performing hair transplant surgery?
  • What is the most common complication you encounter with hair transplant surgery and how do you address it?
  • Do you have before and after photos for me to review of patients that you have previously performed hair transplant surgery on?
  • Can you provide me with the names and phone numbers of at least 6 previous patients that I can speak with?
  • Has your work been documented in any leading journals? (this ensures the surgeon’s credibility).
