Are you considering hair transplant? Just as there are advantages and disadvantages of other hair replacement methods, hair transplant also has its own.

Basically, there is positive effects to hair transplants. The major advantage of the surgery is that it can actually redistribute existing healthy hair to areas of the scalp where the hair has gone bald or thinning. The results would give a permanent result. If you have realistic expectations, you will understand that you will not get a full head of hair, however it can create the illusion of substantially more hair than there actually is. For some this can be very satisfying.

Nevertheless, the disadvantage comes after the surgery. There can be a temporary shedding of some of the preexisting hairs in the area where the transplant was performed. It happens at about two to six months after the procedure was taken. This is due to the local shock of surgery which temporarily affects circulation. Eventually, there would be few hairs that will grow although others were destined to fall out permanently. The hair in the area where there were noticaeble growth may look slightly thinner in the mirror than it was before the surgery.

The second is that it may require two or more sessions to achieve final satisfactory density of the transplanted hair. This will then lead to the third disadvantage - cost. So hair transplant is not a one time procedure. It takes several more session that will create the permanent result. Lastly, in hair transplant, you often forget that if your hair is thinning your existing hair will continue to go bald.

So basically, while the hair transplant surgery up to the follow up session has not yet been completed, you would experience some discomfort. However, you can be assured that there would be permanent outcome that resolves balding and thinning hair.
