Also, hair transplant surgery does not stop hair loss. There are physical and genetic factors that contribute to permanent hair loss. As the individual continues to age, it is possible that they will continue to see some hair loss. Hopefully, it won’t be too extreme. However, it is possible and this is a risk that must be taken into consideration.
Many patients also expect to see hair growth very soon after the procedure. It must be emphasized that hair transplantation surgery is a work in progress and as such it takes time. Even at an excellent rate, most patients won’t begin to see significant results until about six months after the surgery. On average patients can expect to begin seeing results anywhere from about eight to twelve months following their surgery. This can seem like an eternity, however; as this is a natural growth process there is no solution but to wait and let the transplanted hair grow at a natural rate of speed-in most people this is about half an inch per month.
For the most part, almost all patients see some re-growth in the months following the surgery. Only in very rare cases do patients fail to see any growth at all.
While some prospective hair transplant patients may go into the procedure thinking they will be able to recover almost 100% of the hair they have lost and the results will appear to look just the same as before there was ever any hair loss; other patients have quite different expectations. One of the number one factors preventing many patients from seeking assistance for their hair loss through transplant surgery; is the bad reputation the procedure gained from practices used during the pioneering period of hair transplant surgery. Without a doubt, the procedures that were first implemented by the founding fathers of hair transplant surgery in the Fifties were almost considered to be a miracle at the time; they were in fact, still in their infancy. Technology was only just beginning to be conceived of, physicians as yet did not understand many of the components critical to hair loss and growth as we do now; such as follicular units, and there had not yet been time to concentrate on the fine-tuning of the aesthetic detail of hair transplant procedures. As a result, the industry received a bad reputation for producing unnatural-looking results. Even though it has been more than forty years since the first procedures were put into practice in the United States, this notion of a Barbie doll look still pervades society’s image of hair transplant surgery today.
Hair transplant surgery along with the technology now used to assist surgeons with transplant procedures has come a long way since those days. The art of hair transplant surgery is by no way perfect yet; however, more and more people are taking advantage of the assistance these procedures can provide in reducing the appearance of baldness and thinning hair. Researchers and surgeons continue to search for ways to improve the results and appearance of hair transplant surgery. Like any science, hair transplant surgery is continuing to evolve.
The best prepared prospective hair transplant surgeons are those who go into the procedure with realistic expectations. They recognize that while the surgery will probably not be able to restore all of the hair they have lost, in many cases it will be able to reduce the appearance of hair loss in an attractive, natural-looking cosmetic look.
The patients’ individual expectations can contribute greatly to how the results of a hair transplant surgery are perceived. Patients who have the surgery with the understanding that they may not be able to achieve full hair restoration through hair transplant surgery are much more likely to be satisfied with the results they achieve. Since the procedures use hair taken from the patient’s own scalp, there is a limited amount of donor hair with which to work; therefore patients who have already lost a large portion of hair may not be able to achieve full coverage. Patients should realize that in the first few weeks following the surgery they will see some hair loss, which is perfectly normal. Additionally, hair does not begin to grow immediately. The hair growth process following a hair transplant surgery takes time and in most cases, patients do not begin to see results until several months following the surgery. It may be necessary for some patients to return and have subsequent hair transplant sessions in order to achieve optimal results.
