Hair Loss Treatment

What should a patient expect to discuss at a consultation with a hair surgeon?

Patients should expect to have all the options available explained in detail, including non-surgical options such as scalp cosmetics and microfibre bulking products that can be very effective at camouflaging hair loss.

If they decide to proceed with hair transplantation, good counselling is vital so that patients have a realistic expectation of what can be achieved for them and are therefore more likely to be satisfied with the outcome.

The surgical plan must be individually tailored to each patient taking into account the future as well as the present, and it is vital to meet the surgeon who will be carrying out the procedure, rather than just seeing a non-medical counsellor.
