Hair transplants are the most popular type of male cosmetic . It is the only way to permanently promote the growth of hair in areas of the head that are thinning or bald. It is therefore no wonder that men are queuing up to get their transplant surgery. It is however, important to understand that getting a perfect result may not be totally possible.
Techniques and technology in this area have been quickly improving over the past fifty years. Only now are the treatments managing to get the cosmetic appearance of the transplants the same as natural hair. This relies on the skills of the surgeon as well as the technology used. Today's micro graft methods can produce a result that looks extremely natural indeed. In actuality it can be almost impossible to identify that a man has had a transplant at all, if the hair surgeon does a good job. The end result can totally alter the look of the person involved and added to this are the psychological improvements which can come with the greater confidence of looking good.
People going in for this kind of hair restoration accordingly have very great expectations for the end result of hair surgery. The problem here is that there are limitations to the precise treatment. For a start, men only have a particular number of hair follicles that can be used. They have to be the ones that are found in the back and sides of the scalp. Just look at men with major hair loss. They always have a horse shoe shaped remnant of hair at the back and sides. It is just the hair follicles in these regions that are genetically determined to continue a life time. Basically this means that that this is the amount of hair that can be successfully transplanted. It is easy to see that there will never be enough to produce the thick bushy hair that the person once had as a youngster. In fact the best you could achieve is either thick hair in a small number of areas or a regular thickening of thinning hair across the scalp.
Hair transplants are not suitable for everyone. They are rarely done on young adults even though some may already be showing a fair amount of hair loss. The reason for this is that in the early stages it is not possible to identify the actual pattern of hair loss and the extent to which it will occur. This makes it very difficult for a specialist to plan treatments. Even when the pattern is apparent there can still be difficulties. For example a man with thinning hair could have hair transplants to make it look thicker. This will look fine for a while but as more of the natural hair is lost through time the thinness will gradually appear again. This means that more treatment will be required to retain the original thickness. The person should be aware of this and plan for it.
As can be seen men going in for hair transplant surgery could have expectations that are not achievable. This means that in the end they will be disappointed with the results of their treatment. It is important to understand that there are only a certain number of hair follicles that can be used and that they can only be redistributed over the scalp in a limited number of ways. If you keep this in mind then it is likely that you will be happy with what you get in the end.
