Hair Replacement Surgery 

Whether to go for a Hair Replacement Surgery is a question in the minds of many men and women who are experiencing hair loss and would desperately want to have a head full of hair again.

As with any form of surgery, as a prerequisite, you should first have good health and be psychologically prepared for the surgery with realistic expectations. It is important that you understand the limitations of the surgery.  There is no ideal goal to reach and all you should aim for is to improve your appearance as much as possible.

So for anyone deciding to go for hair replacement surgery, you should first ask your plastic surgeon about the options available for you.

Male pattern baldness is often the easiest to correct. This pattern usually starts with a receding hairline. Here hair replacement surgery would require multiple grafts of hair carried out in session at least a few months apart.

The surgeon will usually decide on a local anesthesia but for more involved surgical procedures, they may choose a general. 

You can go for a hair replacement surgery even if you are not totally bald. Age is no contraindication. However if a person is young, the permanent donor site may not yet be established. Donor sites should have dense growing hair to sufficiently fill any area of baldness.

So before you opt for any hair replacement surgery, you should discuss with your surgeon and decide on the technique of surgery, the type of anesthesia together with other issues like the facility and of course, the risks and costs.
