Hair Transplant Photos

You want a hair transplant . Hair Transplant Photos : Needless to say, you want it to change your life for the better and restore your scalp to a state of youthful thickness. The single-most influential force in the outcome of your hair transplant procedure—besides the technique you choose—is the surgeon. So how do you know…

• Which surgeon is the best?
• Which surgeon has done a case like yours before?
• Which surgeon has the highest long-term graft survival rates?

The sheer amount of preliminary questions is exhausting. In addition to extensive research, the next thing to follow suit in surgeon-search protocol is EVIDENCE.

Importance Of Quality Hair Transplant Photos

***As shown below with the following six examples, photos can be close up, or far away, and can be straight on or show different angles.

ARE HAIR TRANSPLANT PHOTOS THE BEST WAY TO ASSESS RESULTS?

You’ve heard that Dr. So-and-So is the best out there. Every question you’ve asked about him has been countered with a pleasing reply; and his free consultation was filled with astute advice and artistic foresight into your hairline. But now even more questions flood your mind…

• Does Dr. So-and-So place the grafts with undeniable accuracy and evenness?
• Does he perform with the least scarring as a result?
• Does he create the most natural-looking hairlines?

The procedural demand for evidence will answer these questions. And evidence is usually in the form of hair transplant photos, which can be found in online forums or viewed at the clinic during consultation. These are fine as a preliminary assessment of his skill, but be wary of a doctor who doesn’t have hair transplant video documentation as well.

Suffice it to say, images alone are not the best way to appraise a surgeon’s true skill—videos are. This is so for many reasons, including:

• In hair transplant photos, it is easy to use low lighting so the scalp is difficult to see, thus creating an illusion of fullness.
• In hair transplant pictures it is easy to snap the photo from misleading angles, including the avoidance of all unflattering angels (namely top-view and direct views of the crown).
• With hair restoration images, there are common and simple photo-retouching tricks that mask the real result and exaggerate the appearance of success.
• Hair transplant photos only give you a snippet of the result, rather than a live, streaming 360-degree observation.
• Hair transplant images don’t allow you to read the patient’s body language or hear the patient’s voice, speaking about his or her surgery

WHAT YOU WANT TO GAIN FROM YOUR RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE

Whether you’re reviewing preliminary photos or transplant videos, the point is to ensure that you are selecting a surgeon who:

• Is highly skilled
• Has abundant experience
• Is widely known and respected
• Performs with continual success
• Has carried out his/her niche on a range of cases (making him/her versatile)
• Is backed by his previous patients
