A BLOG CAN HELP YOU MAKE GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT HAIR RESTORATION
The many hair restoration considerations are confusing, overwhelming, and intimidating, to say the least. With the emotional and financial investment patients make in pursuing hair transplant, it stands to reason that one would want his dream outcome to be a future reality. But where do you even begin? At some point, you will have to come to a decision on some combination of the following:
- Technique
- Surgeon
- Grafts
With varying tools and methods and hundreds of hair transplant doctors, how do you know what the right combination is for you? A body hair transplant blog, like this one, will be a major tool when helping you make these decisions.
What A Body Hair Transplant Blog Should Offer
Blogs and discussion forums will be immensely helpful to a hair transplant candidate during the decision-making process. But how? First of all, blogs are great because they are a free source of information. Among the typical procedures of a good blog are:
- To offer information/facts
- To provide testimonial
- To show clinic results
- To start discussion topics
- To provide Q&A
Information/Facts
A good blog that includes content about body hair transplant surgeries will give you tons of pertinent information and facts about the procedure itself. From pre-surgery preparation to post-surgery care, and everything in between, you’ll get plenty of info. So if you’re wondering how body hair transplant works, procedurally; if BHT uses a scalpel; how it’s possible to harvest body hair; how many grafts can be extracted safely; who is the ideal BHT candidate; what to expect on the day of surgery; how quickly your grafts will grow and mature…all of this important information awaits you on a relevant body hair transplant blog.
Testimonial
Testimony of prior patients is a phenomenal decision-making tool. Testimony includes a patient’s precious words of advice and may include his/her before and after photos, or even an email address for you to make contact. You can contact those who’ve gone before you and ask away. What surgeon they used, if they’re satisfied, if they’d do it again… If you can’t contact them, blog testimonial is still sufficient enough to gather this information as a reader—it will likely guide you toward a few top surgeons. They say you should learn from other people’s mistakes. On a blog, you can learn from other people’s mistakes and successes.
Clinic Results
Clinic results are like a shopping catalogue. As you browse the “before” and “after” images of various surgeons, some will greatly impress you, others not so much. And a small handful will probably jump out at you as you realize “that’s the one!” Finding a case similar to yours, which yielded results that align with your goals, is a big step in the direction of the right surgeon. A consultation may be in order.
Discussion Topics
The discussion forum of a blog is where you can search for more information on a particular topic. For example, if you’re uncertain whether or not you should use Rogaine in the months following your surgery, rest assured there’s a discussion topic covering exactly that. The same goes with many other areas of concern, whether they are broad topics or very specific. In these discussion forums, prior patients, hair restoration experts, surgeons, and the like can all chime in to leave their opinions and advice.
Q&A
This is where a blog gets more personal. To get the answer to a specific question, you can write in to the operator of the blog or to the discussion forum (if it’s a public Q&A). In either case, Q&A will fill the gaps of information in your research, if all of the other resources have not sufficed.
FAQ About Body Hair To Head Procedures
How does body hair transplant work?
Body hair transplant uses the individual excision technique of follicular unit extraction to harvest donor hair from almost anywhere on the body. This includes the beard, shoulders, chest, stomach, arms, and legs.
Who is a candidate?
Since Body hair transplant or BHT is used only for severely bald patients, the first requirement is a depleted scalp donor source, followed by a sufficient supply of body hair. Besides that, the typical medical prerequisites apply, such as no scarring tendencies, no anesthesia allergies, and no blood clotting abnormalities. Those with extremely curly hair are not ideal candidates.
How important is the surgeon?
The surgeon is the most important aspect of surgery. His or her expertise or lack thereof is what will determine the success or failure of your procedure. A surgeon must have years of prior experience and a record of success to be considered.
