Lack of Experience
Hair transplant operations are meticulous procedures that require utmost attention and patience. It takes time to master this art. Inexperienced specialist/technician may not be able to correctly place the hair grafts during transplantation. However, graft placement is one of the most important stages in hair transplantation operations and plays a very important role in the final appearance of the hair. Experienced specialists know how to use the grafts effectively but less experienced specialists might be prone to make mistakes, such as choosing a wrong donor site.
When hair follicles are transplanted from inappropriate areas of the scalp, both the donor area and the recipient area will likely show evidence of this wrong choice and technique. The primary donor site used in hair transplantation is the back of the head, namely the nape area. There are also additional donor sites such as beard and chest hair. A natural appearance is obtained when hair taken from the nape area is used alone or together with hair taken from other parts of the body. Mishandling of hair follicles taken from different donor areas may cause unacceptable results.
Inexperienced technicians may put too much pressure and strain on donor sites. And this leads to a problem as big as baldness itself.
The term “overharvesting” refers to the removal of too many hair follicles from the donor area. This often causes hair to look very weak and even patchy in the nape area.
Therefore, when you look for a specialist for the FUE or DHI hair transplant, you should take “experience” into consideration.
Inadequate Postoperative Care
Taking care of yourself after a hair transplant can be as important as the procedure itself. Your specialist will give you a list of instructions and comprehensive information regarding the care of the transplanted area for days and weeks after the operation. In the healing process, some patients experience excessive scabs and crusts forming on the scalp. Scratching or incorrect washing of this area can prevent hair follicles from clinging to the transplanted area.
It is important to follow the postoperative recommendations such as washing hair gently, avoiding exposure to the sun or avoiding sweating within the specified period to see satisfactory results in all aspects.
You should follow your specialist’s instructions and recommendations meticulously in order to avoid possible postoperative complications.
Not Being a Suitable Candidate for Hair Transplantation
If you do not have enough hair to suffice the hair transplant procedure, in cases where donor areas are very weak and insufficient, the result may not be satisfactory. If you do not have a lot of hair follicles that can be taken from the back of your head, you can end up with an extremely thinned scalp in that area after the operation.
For learning whether or not you are a suitable candidate for this operation, you can contact Clinic Center to take advantage of our free consultation service.
Dishonest Hair Transplant Centers
Unfortunately, as in any profession, people working in the medical field may not always be good and honest people. A hair transplant center that is only after your money will not care about your well-being, your health and a satisfactory hair transplant result. However, a good and competent hair transplant specialist and team will certainly care about your concerns and wishes.
As Clinic Center, our aim is to ensure patient satisfaction and what we care about and value is to send our patients back to their countries with smiling faces.
Misunderstanding
Actually, this one is not quite a failure. Let me explain.
Hair transplant operation is the first step of the whole procedure, after which there is a long period waiting for the patients.
Some patients declare the operation they had unsuccessful before the process is completed and before giving the transplanted hair enough time to grow. Of course, it is natural to want to see the results as soon as possible but it may take 12 months or more to see first outcomes, and sometimes you may feel impatient or question your results.
Before the operation, discussing with your specialist or patient representative about the postoperative processes, about what kind of result to expect in which month, will prevent misunderstandings.
In order not to experience one of these failures mentioned above, contact us and take advantage of our free consultation service in our UK office and learn whether or not you are an eligible candidate for hair transplant operation.
You can get an appointment from our UK office to meet our teammates in person and to have more detailed information about our services.
