Male Hair Transplant 5 Thing They Don't Want You To Know

There is a lot of money and inevitably a fair amount of hype in the Hair Restoration industry

. Most of us understand that in this less than perfect world, a few claims are likely to be made that maybe don't tell the whole story, if ya know what I'm sayin'.

How much can it cost? How much hair can they put on your head? When is a hair transplant the best option? How many surgeries to get it done? Can something go wrong?

Take five minutes to find out the answers to these questions and what they DON'T want you to know about hair transplants.

HOW MUCH CAN IT COST? Charges are per graft of from one to five hairs in most instances. There is also a method of extraction FUE or follicular unit extraction that removes and replaces one hair per each and every graft. The lowest price I can find is $2.50 per graft with from $3 to $8 dollars per graft being the going rate. Your individual situation is going to determine how many grafts you may need but from one to five thousand grafts is a good ball park figure to work with. If you haven't already done the math that means that five figure surgeon's fees are not uncommon for this procedure.

HOW MUCH HAIR CAN THEY PUT ON YOUR HEAD? It's important for you to understand that you are limited by how much replacement hair--hair not subject to rejection by DHT remains on the back and sides of your head to be transplanted. Each individual has a different pattern of baldness and a different amount of donor hair.

WHEN IS A HAIR TRANSPLANT THE BEST OPTION? One of the problems with evaluating hair restoration surgery as an option is that the earlier the stage of hair loss the less reliable are predictions about donor hair amounts. Generally hair loss must be fairly well along to predict the available amount of donor hair and waiting for more hair loss to occur will almost certainly deprive you of other better options. It could be the best option when the hair loss has run it's course and your doctor's analysis is that your individual pattern of baldness will yield enough donor hair to reach your goals.

HOW MANY SURGERIES TO GET IT DONE? Some times it's a one shot deal but you should plan on having more than surgery. Some of the hair may not take. It might ALL take but some additional local hair may fall out. Lastly the hair requires anywhere from 4-12 months to completely grow back. After this time you and your doctor will decide if you need another turn under the knife.

CAN SOMETHING GO WRONG? All the inherent risks of surgery apply here. You're going under anesthetics. There will be some pain and swelling. They will have to remove stitches in about ten days. There is a long recuperative period. The most common problems have to do with scarring but doctors have developed and are developing extraction methods designed to contend with this. Regardless of which method you choose, quality in general is very good. Gone forever are the old fashioned plug-like transplants. Surgically restored hair should be permanent and completely natural in appearance. It's major limitation is the uncertainty involved in estimating how many donor hairs will be needed as opposed to how many will be available.

The major appeal of hair transplants is that they offer natural hair for someone in the latter stages of hair loss. They are limited, by donor hair available. A transplant is also the most expensive and time consuming alternative that is gradually becoming outdated for more and more people due to continued advances in other approaches to hair loss. Today's generation of young men will be the first, if they choose, to keep their natural hair without surgery.
