Causes of failed hair transplantation

The quality and experience of the doctor are very important!


Before each operation, concern is a natural reaction of people, and especially before the aesthetic one. If you decide to have a FUE hair transplant, you must be informed about the procedure of the intervention itself. You may encounter problems and it would be helpful to familiarize yourself with them so that you can prevent them. Read some of the useful tips below.

 

Based on the analysis of patients who decided to have a hair transplant operation, an analysis was performed. Many who underwent a hair transplant procedure were dissatisfied with the results. There are several reasons that are responsible for patient dissatisfaction. You must be wondering, "What are the causes that led to hair transplant failure?"

 

1. Inexperience of the surgeon


The FUE method of hair transplantation is a complex procedure, which requires great perseverance, a lot of effort and time to master this skill, and no patient wants to be the subject of an experiment. If the hair transplant is performed by an inexperienced surgeon, as a result the graft is not placed correctly and this leads to the failure of the hair transplant. What is graft placement? This is the most important phase in hair transplantation, crucial in the final appearance of the patient's hair after the operation. Inexperienced doctors can make a mistake when predicting a permanently safe donor zone for hair transplantation. The occiput is the initial donor zone in hair transplantation where healthy follicles are isolated. Breasts and chins can also be used as additional donor resources. Excessive grafting by an inexperienced surgeon can lead to significant damage in the donor zone. When using the FUE method, the surgeon's experience should be one of the factors you should consider. The specialist's many years of experience are crucial, as are the testimonies of patients who have had hair transplants before.

3. Post-transplant care is very important


Care after a hair transplant is as important as the transplant itself! After the transplant, the doctor will give you instructions for post-operative care, as well as all the information about the treatment that you will apply in the days and weeks after the hair transplant. Hair growth can occur around the hair shaft that must not be combed or improperly washed. If you comb or wash your hair improperly, it can have a negative effect on the duration of the graft. Infections can also occur due to poor hygiene. After a hair transplant, it is very important to gently wash your hair, avoid exercises that cause sweating and do not expose yourself to the sun.

 

4. How to assess the credibility of a hair transplant clinic


Not everyone who works in medicine is honest and fair. Everyone will want to work with a doctor who is honest and not just eager for your money. Clinics that are eager for your money will not give importance to your health and a good hair transplant outcome. An experienced FUE hair transplant surgeon and his staff will pay attention to your requirements and your concerns. During the examination, everyone wants a doctor and staff they can rely on and talk to.

 

5. Misunderstandings can occur


This is not about failure. It is about the fact that after the hair transplant, the phase of post-operative recovery begins, which lasts longer, and some people make conclusions too quickly and declare the hair transplant unsuccessful before the whole process is completed. People can expect to notice the results of a hair transplant within 12 months or they can become impatient and thus question the outcome.
