Are all hair transplants successful?

The success of a hair transplant, like other surgeries, depends on several factors. These include patient factors and procedure-related factors.

The assessment of these factors essentially starts from the first consultation itself. A detailed medical history, including the history of any comorbidities or any record of medicine intakes like blood thinners or hormones, or vitamins, should always be asked as these things ultimately will affect the final result of the procedure. One of the essential aspects of the consultation is to judge the patient’s expectations from the process, as unrealistic expectations can make a successful strategy look like an unsuccessful result. One should not go for an aggressive approach for the patient who has early hair loss or who has presented in early twenties as over a period of time hair loss may progress and patient will then require additional procedures. If at that time donor is inadequate due to the over aggressive approach then a successful hair transplant may turn into an unsuccessful procedure. Over-enthusiastic lowering the hairline should also be avoided in designing the hairline in elder age group patients.

Counseling about giving a realistic picture is one of the key points in providing an insight about the procedure and the result.

During the procedure, starting from hairline designing, slit making according to the angle & orientation of the existing natural hairs, proper harvesting of the donor graft avoiding the transection, and preventing the over-harvesting, Proper & delicate handling of the grafts all contribute to making a procedure successful. Lastly, good Post-operative Care and protocol are necessary for a good recipe for a successful hair transplant.
