How To Select A Good Transplant Center ?


We are always bombarded by the paradox of choices; one good decision to be proud of later, and another poor decision to repent in the future. Similarly, one quality decision of transplanting your hair from the industry experts like us can boost your sagged confidence and increase your self-esteem; otherwise, if you choose to do the same from other not-so-reputed, plain-vanilla type clinics that are abundant in the market, you will be investing on a poor choice, which can jeopardize your hair and money.

No doubts industry experts call a hair transplantation surgeon ‘artist with a lab-coat’; it is no exaggeration to state that the skill, labor, experience and dedication one needs to perform a hair transplantation are earned over the years, and with a price. But, unfortunately most of the clinics are unwilling or unable to utilize resources and dedicate hard work required to perform this procedure.

To zero-in on your preferred clinic, try to accumulate valid and acute information about the corresponding institute, by asking these vital questions like :

1. For how many years has the surgeon been doing successful hair transplantation ?

An ideal hair transplant surgeon should have at least 4 years of experience in F.U.E. (Follicular Unit Extraction). Our experience tells that often people had had their life messed up (together with the hair, of course!) by going to inexperienced clinics, teeming with inexperienced surgeons. It is most commonly seen that people are often misled by deceptive advertising, and only they realize themselves to be in hot water when it is already too late.

2. How many transplant procedures are done by the surgeon on a single day ?

It gives a fair level of understanding about how reputed the surgeon is among the patient circle.

3. How many transplant procedures are done in the clinic on a single day ?

Even if a small clinic has a number of transplants done on a single day, this implies that the patient traffic is quite large for that clinic, which is tantamount to its solid reputation.

4. Does the hair transplant surgeon perform hair transplantation procedures full time ?

A full time surgeon will show the necessary prowess that is expected from him/ her to conduct a transplantation procedure successfully.

5. What is the hair transplant surgeon’s reputation among his fellow surgeons / peer group ?

An experienced surgeon who is adaptive and understanding automatically commands respect and awe among his own peer group.

6. What is the hair transplant surgeon’s reputation among his patients ?

When many patients praise a particular surgeon lavishly, it indicates that the surgeon delivers satisfaction and expertise, and that too in a friendly manner.

7. Does the concerned surgeon use microscopes for making dissection of donor tissue ?

High profile and state of the art instruments present in a clinic ensure safety on the patient’s side.

8. Most of the hair transplantation procedures are the team work of a well coordinated and balanced team. How good as a team member is the concerned surgeon ?

An experienced surgeon who is adaptive and understanding automatically commands respect and awe among his own peer group. Additionally, he can act as a good team member during the hair transplantation procedure.

9. Are the latest technologies available in the clinic ?

A combination of FUE, FUT, lateral slit implantation and body hair transplant are the minimum requirements of any good transplantation clinic.

10. Is it economic ?

The hair transplantation procedure together with the post-operative care should fall in the financial ambit of the concerned patient.

11. Can your hair transplant surgeon produce before you a legit list of patients that he had operated upon in the past, will all their addresses and phone numbers ?

Transparency is the key to your safety.

These are some of the questions you should bear in mind before opting for a clinic.
