Importance of Diagnosis Before Hair Transplant Surgery
July 24, 2023 | By : Dr. Sangay Bhutia (Hair Transplant Specialist in Delhi)
Hair loss varies from person to person and depends upon many key factors. Hair transplant is a minimal invasive surgical method that includes restoration of hairs using hair grafts from the donor area. There are many other treatments available in the market that claims 100% hair regrowth but hair transplant is considered to be the best tested method to regain the natural looking hairs.
Due to increasing number of hair restoration centers it is getting difficult for the patient to select a good well experienced hair transplant clinic or surgeon. There might be the case when you will be told the number of hair grafts needed for the fuller look without assessing and clinically examining, which later on may not be correct. On other hand, the centers where you get a pre-diagnosis session directly with the hair transplant surgeon is always recommended. The treating surgeon during the consultation should also talk about any medical history and review your blood test reports before the surgery. The diagnosis also includes a detailed scalp and hair examination to determine your scalp health and hair density. Remember, a proper diagnosis also helps the surgeon to deliver the proper management for the problem. Scalp condition and the characteristics of the hair should be examined properly in order to get natural looking and permanent results.
Every effort should be made to reach a diagnosis or to know the underlying cause of the problem. Sometime doctor may order some blood investigation in order to reach the cause like hair loss may be due to thyroid imbalance or it may be due to anemia or it may be due to some nutrient deficiency which can easily be picked up by the blood tests. One may correct these problems to get proper results. This is very important aspect of the management as sometimes the problem may be addressed by medicines or other modalities other than hair transplant. Many a times hair transplant may be the only solution for the problem. This decision is correctly achieved if a proper consultation is done and if possible a proper diagnosis is achieved.
