Finding a Quality Hair Restoration Surgeon and Post Hair Transplant Shedding

I phoned a clinic about getting [tag]hair transplants[/tag] and they said I will lose my grafts after surgery and then they will grow back in a year.  Is this true or is this a bad place to go?  How do I select a quality [tag]hair transplant doctor[/tag]?

The [tag]hair restoration[/tag] clinic you spoke with has given you the correct information. However, it’s not the grafts you will lose but the hair follicles in them. Once the [tag]follicular unit[/tag] grafts are transplanted, the existing hair follicles will shed in the first few weeks. Three to four months after surgery, those hairs will start a new growth cycle and begin to grow. It takes up to one full year to see the finals results of a hair transplant.

You are encouraged to research all physicians you are considering. [tag]Hair transplant[/tag] surgery is not something to jump into lightly. While there are many hair restoration surgeons around the world performing state of the art ultra-refined follicular unit [tag]hair transplantation[/tag] there are many more performing outdated procedures or doing just plain subpar work. You only get one shot at a first hair transplant and you don’t want to end up a repair patient.

I suggest checking out our list of prescreened hair restoration physicians for a quality clinic near you.

Before moving forward with surgery, I also suggest you spend a great deal of time researching on our [tag]hair loss[/tag] forum. You will find lots of knowledgeable and helpful members including many of the world’s leading hair restoration surgeons ready and willing to answer your questions.
