Things to Consider Before Hair Transplant Surgery

Things to Consider Before Hair Transplant Surgery

 

It goes without saying, but men like having hair. The problem is, for a number of reasons, it stops growing back. For men who suffer from male pattern baldness, there are only a couple of options of their disposal. The first is medication. The second is hair transplant surgery. The problem with medication is that when it works, you will only grow back hair while you’re on the medication. Once you stop taking the medication, not only will you stop growing back hair, but the hair you grew while you were on the medication will fall out.

 

For some people, the prospect of being on the medication for the rest of their lives is difficult to justify, especially considering that like all medications, hair loss medication like Propecia has side effects. Propecia works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. For those that are unaware, dihydrotestosterone is responsible for creating the conditions that make your scalp inhospitable to new hair growth. The side effects for Propecia, since they act on hormones, can be sexual in nature. Some men find it difficult to get an erection, while other men experience difficulty achieving orgasm.

 

On the other hand, men are likely to orgasm the same way they ever did after having a hair transplant surgery performed on them. Despite that, the surgery is often expensive, and that reason alone should give an individual pause to consider the procedure as a last resort. The outcome of the surgery is going to depend heavily on the skill of the individual performing. Even newer procedures like robotic hair transplant require the skill and knowledge of an expert surgeon. And like any surgery, the results (for good or ill) are permanent.

 

While many men feel like the loss of their hair is a constant reminder of their fading youth, being bald isn’t as bad as it used to be. Nowadays, simply shaving your head completely is an option. Many folks that can naturally grow a full head of hair are doing it. So the question you want to ask yourself is: is it worth it?

 

For those that believe it is, the technology for hair transplant surgery has gotten much better over the years. If the problem is male pattern baldness, and you should exhaust all other possibilities before paying for a surgery, then the best option of all the options out there, is still going to be hair transplant surgery.

 

“We can’t guarantee results, because not everything is going to work for everyone, and there are some restrictions on ideal candidates for hair transplant surgery,” says one doctor from Palo Alto. “It’s still the best option out there, and the results for a lot of men are very satisfying.”
