Hair transplant questions?

is growth immediate after you have it done?



is it ok to maintain a very short hair cut, will scars show?



5000 dollars enough for light to moderate hair loss?



Hair transplant questions?

Great questions! I had hair transplant 18 months ago and could not be happier with the results. To answer your questions:



1. After your transplant each hair will react differently. Some will continue to grow, some hair will fall out of the follicles and go into a resting stage. You can expect to see significant growth around 6 months, at 9months you will be extremely happy with the amount of growth you have had and you should see about 95% growth by 1 year.



2. It is very important to chose your surgeon very carefully for this. Some doctors are much better at their scars and you should ask to see former patients pics of not only the transplant but of the scar. My doctor specialized in thin (1-2 mm) scars and she uses a technique that encourages the remaining hair in back to grow through the scar to help hide the scar.



3. 5000 dollars should get you about 1000 hair grafts by today's average price. Some doctors charge upwards of $10/graft but there are some good doctors that charge about $5/graft(that is what I paid) I couldn't tell you if it will give you enough coverage because I don't know what your head look like. I.e. the degree of hair loss you have had.



I think what it comes down to is finding a great doctor that you trust and has proven his or her work in the industry.



Hope that helps!

Hair transplant questions?

it usually takes about a month for the transplanted hairs to start to grow. The follicle has to establish a blood supply then it starts growing. There could be a scar at the back of the head which could be visible with a very short haircut. Usually it is a pencil thin scar and fades with time. The slits made for the transplanted hair on top will also appear a bit red for some time but also fades as time goes by. My guess is that it will cost you about 10,000 dollars to get a decent level of densisty. Maybe two transplant sessions.



Hair transplant questions?

Get hair transplant in India. Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Forerunners Healthcare. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.



I have also read that they arrange financing for American and Canadian patients, as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.



My cousin got a couple of cosmetic surgery procedures in India like the breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift through the forerunners healthcare. She is more than very happy with the results. She just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. I personally have seen the wonderful results and am particularly impressed with the kind of quality care she got from this company. I hope this helps.
