Severe acne, daily aspirin, heavy smoking or drinking are all risk factors that have the potential to affect the successful outcome of hair transplantation or other forms of hair restoration surgery. Acne and hair loss are both conditions that effect someone’s appearance, and both are conditions for which effective treatments are available. The patient may not see any obvious relationships between treatment for acne and treatment for hair loss, other than his or her concern for correction of cosmetic deficits. However, a physician hair restoration specialist recognizes that some medical treatments for acne can influence the timing of surgical hair restoration to assure the outcome but rarely prohibits hair restoration surgery.
Side effects of isotretinoin are hair loss and changes in the structure of skin and hair, both of which can influence the outcome of a hair restoration surgery. Blood thinning medication may put a patient at risk for excessive bleeding during and after a surgical procedure. Behavioral risk can also influence the outcome of surgery include heavy tobacco use as well as heavy use of alcohol. Both of these factors can be associated with operative and postoperative risk. Patients should not be shy in revealing behavioral risk factors such as smoking and drinking. The surgeon should know about these risk factors before undertaken any type of surgery. Any patient who neglects to reveal all current and past medical treatments to the hair restoration specialist puts himself/herself at risk for less than optimum hair restoration outcome. No information should be withheld because the patient fails to see its importance to hair loss treatment, or for any reason such as embarrassment about a medical condition currently or recently under treatment.

Hair Restoration does exactly what its name say it does. It restores hair to areas of hair loss. It is a cosmetic procedure that improves the esthetic image of a man or woman who is experiencing hair loss and wishes to restore his/her appearance. This procedure is highly successful that achieves the satisfactory outcome desired by the great majority of patients. Hair restoration is a procedure that cannot be undone after it has been performed on a person. However, it can be revised over time with additional surgery. With this being said it is very important that patients should be fully forthcoming in all answers, and should in turn ask as many questions as necessary to feel fully informed.
All questions regarding this procedure are usually resolved by discussions between patient and physician hair restoration specialist. In most cases, patient and physician arrive at an agreement on realistic expectations for outcome. Well directed questions, honest and full answers, discussion and agreement on all matters relating to the hair restoration procedure are as essential to good outcome as it the surgical procedure itself.

Understanding Someone Else’s Hair Transplant

If you are an adult man or woman who has full head of hair you probably haven’t given much thought into hair transplantation. What do you say to a person who is having a hair transplantation? Do you say anything at all or do you wait for them to bring it to your attention before mentioning it?
Nowadays cosmetic procedures are common, well accepted and highly successful. Millions of people have cosmetic procedures done each year for a variety of different reasons. Some people may remove acne scars, or other skin blemishes, to reverse skin again, straighten teeth and realign jaws, to correct facial symmetry, and to restore hair loss to maintain a balanced facial appearance.
Therefore, a suspicion that cosmetic procedures are indications of self-centered vanity can color opinions. It’s an old, outdated belief, and it dies hard. In today’s society societal attitudes encourage people to be in charge of their own physical and psychological health. A 40 year old woman may find it unacceptable when the patchy-diffuse hair loss typical of female pattern androgenetic alopecia begins across her scalp or the appearance of a 40 year old man can be compromised by hair loss. With this being said its not surprising that people who choose to be “in charge” of their physical well-being will also choose to be “in charge” of their physical appearance.
