Many men delay receiving a consultation with a hair loss specialist for fear of what they’ll learn. The only way to ascertain what type of hair loss you have and if you’re a good candidate for a hair transplant is a consultation.
Hair Loss History
Your surgeon will document the history and timeline of your hair loss to determine when it began, how its progressed, and any methods you’ve utilized for restoration. He’ll want to know if there’s a family history of hair loss and who has it.
Health History
Men who are good candidates for a hair transplant must be in good health. Your specialist will need to know if you have any health issues or take medications that could affect the success of a transplant. That includes conditions such as high blood pressure, heart conditions, and nerve or autoimmune conditions.
Your surgeon will need to know if there have been any recent changes to your health that encompassing acute or short-term illnesses, along with accidents. You’ll need to disclose any symptoms you may have for which your doctor may not be treating you such as dizziness, palpitations or tiredness, along with all medications and/or supplements you’ve taken regularly over the past 12 months.
Diet and Lifestyle
The surgeon will want to know about your diet, digestion and lifestyle. Be sure to relate if you have IBS.
Nails and Stress
Your nails can reveal much about your health and the surgeon will want to examine them for pitting, brittleness or ridging. Stress levels are also a factor he’ll want to know about.
Tests and Exams
The surgeon will take a sample and perform a microscopic exam of your hair roots. He’ll examine your scalp and blood tests will be obtained. It can take a little time, but all the tests and information will determine if you’re a good candidate for a hair transplant.

The good news is that most hair transplant procedures are outpatient surgery and individuals go home the same day. The recovery process is dependent on the type of transplant that’s performed and side effects are usually resolved within 10 to 14 days.
Side Effects
Like any surface surgery, there will be some side effects and they’re typically temporary. They can occur at the donor hair site and the transplant location. Side effects can include redness or bruising, scabs and crusting, itching, and loss of feeling. Some men may experience pain or throbbing, a feeling of tightness or swelling.
Recovery
Individuals may be able to remove bandages on the first day and wash their hair on the second day. On the third to fifth day, men may be able to return to their normal activities. However, strenuous activity can cause bleeding. On the tenth day, the stitches (if any) may be removed by the surgeon.
After Care
The healthcare provider will issue specific instructions. They will vary and are reliant on the surgery type. Those orders should be followed stringently. The healthcare professional may want to see the individual several times during the first month. A return to normal activities will rely on the type and complexity of the surgery.
Fallout
Many individuals discover that their transplanted hair falls out in a few weeks following surgery. Rest assured that this is normal. It will take 5 to 6 weeks before new hair begins to grow as the transplanted follicles become accustomed to their new “home.” Individuals can expect to see approximately half an inch of growth thereafter.
Follow Up
Depending upon the extent of the hair loss, a follow-up may be required with additional micro-grafts. The goal is to restore an individual’s hair to its natural appearance. Men should discuss this and any side effects they may be concerned about with their surgeon.
