Choosing a good hair restoration clinic
Choosing a good hair restoration clinic is no doubt the most
difficult task for any one deciding to go for a hair transplant.
With thousands of hair transplant
centers / hair transplant clinics mushrooming all over USA
it is in fact quite confusing to track down a good hair
transplant center. The following article provides you with a
good lead on how to go about choosing the right hair transplant
center with a well regarded air transplant surgeon performing the hair
restoration surgery and with affordable hair
replacement. Questions to consider when choosing your
prospective hair transplant surgeon and clinic Before and during
your contact with your prospective hair transplant surgeon and clinic, you need to
look for signs and signals that this surgeon and clinic is
capable of providing you with a quality result - a natural
looking hair transplant. Unfortunately there are a number of
clinics and surgeons out there that do poor quality work.
Before, during and after the clinic interview there are some
questions to ask yourself privately to try and reduce the risk
of getting a hair transplant from a cowboy surgeon. How did you
find out about the clinic and the surgeon? In the yellow pages
or by personal recommendation? A personal recommendation by
someone who has already had a transplant from the clinic /
surgeon you are considering is best. If you don't have a friend
or colleague who can give you a recommendation, it's okay to
start with an advertisement or even the yellow pages, but you
need to do more footwork to find out whether the surgeon /
clinic is good.
· How long has the clinic / surgeon been in business? If the
clinic / surgeon has been around for a few years it suggests
they must have a regular stream of (presumably satisfied)
customers to stay in business.
· What reputation does the surgeon / clinic have? These days
with the availability of powerful search engines on the internet
it is fairly easy to find out other peoples' opinions of the
clinic / surgeon involved. Just type in their name and see what
comes up.
· What reputation does the clinic / surgeon have in the business
and legal arena? You could check with the better business bureau
or equivalent in your area and check for any lawsuits brought
against the clinic / surgeon. Often this can be done online.
Contact your state medical board to see if any complaints have
been filed against your hair transplant doctor or hair
transplant clinic.
· What qualifications does the surgeon have? Is he/she a member
of a professional organization specifically for the hair
transplant profession? There are a few professional
organizations (eg. In North America - The International Society
of
Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS)) that attempt to improve
hair transplant standards and ensure members do quality work.
Membership of these organizations is not a guarantee that the
surgeon is good, but it helps.
· In your contact with the clinic what is your general
impression? Is the clinic in its own physical location or is it
run from the back office of a general practice? Many hair
transplant and cosmetic surgery clinics are in standalone
buildings, others may be attached to larger dermatology clinics,
each of which is valid. But some "clinics" are run by renting
time in a surgery to do the operation and the only physical
location may be a rented office not connected to a medical
establishment. These small operations with a limited or no
permanent location give cause for concern. They are harder to
monitor and more difficult to contact if things go wrong.
· What is your impression in the interview? Does the surgeon
sounds like he / she knows what they are talking about? Do they
show pictures of their own work? Do they explain the risks as
well as the benefits of hair transplantation?
· Do you feel some personal compatibility with the surgeon? You
will be having a relatively intimate, albeit professional,
relationship with this individual over a period of time if you
have multiple hair transplant sessions. You need to feel
comfortable with who you are dealing with.
· How pressured do you feel to sign up for the hair transplant?
If you feel unduly pressured it is better to walk away. Give
yourself time to think about it. You can always sign up later or
find a different clinic. Clinics and surgeons that push hard to
get you to sign up may be losing sight of their professional
conduct requirements - to put the patient before profit.
· Prior to the surgery, did you actually meet with the surgeon
who will oversee the transplant? Or did you just interview with
a representative consultant, a nurse, or a technician? You
should expect to see the surgeon at least once prior to the
actual surgery. If you don't see the surgeon before the
procedure, or get only limited information, walk away from this
clinic.
· Who will actually conduct the surgical procedure? It is not
necessarily going to be the surgeon who will conduct the
procedure form start to finish. Hair transplants usually involve
quite a lot of people. If the surgeon is not going to be present
and the procedure is to be done entirely by nurses or
technicians, this is cause for concern.
· Is your hair transplant surgeon's practice dedicated solely to
surgical hair restoration? And if not, what percentage of
his/her practice is? How many hair transplant operations does
the surgeon conduct in a week/month/year? Some clinics and
surgeons are exclusively focused on hair transplantation, they
do nothing else. This is another indicator that the clinic and
surgeon have extensive experience in hair transplantation.
