Many people feel embarrassed by bald spots or thinner hair because our look is greatly influenced by our hair. However, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hashclinics.pk\/hair-transplant\/\">hair transplant<\/a> may provide a long-term, natural-looking fix for these issues. But just like every other treatment, it carries a risk of failure. A hair transplant failure is a major problem that can result in unsatisfactory outcomes and even health issues for the patient. But don&#8217;t let that scare you away from hair transplant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read this guide to understand the causes of ineffective hair transplants and prevent them in future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing an Inexperienced Surgeon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the major causes behind the failure of a hair transplant is choosing a clinic because of the low cost. Hair transplantation is a very precise procedure that needs experience and knowledge about the growth pattern of the hair. As a result, an inexperienced surgeon can make a lot of mistakes throughout this process such as graft at a wrong angle, make an unnatural hair line, or damage healthy follicles while extracting and implanting. And if the surgical procedure is not performed properly, the odds of graft survival can also be decreased, leaving for spots or uneven growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, when selecting a clinic, make sure to check the surgeon&#8217;s credentials, see before-and-after photos of past patients, and read real patient reviews. A good <a href=\"https:\/\/hashclinics.pk\/skin-specialist-in-karachi\/\">dermatologist<\/a> or hair specialist will meticulously consider your hair and facial features, as well as your hair loss pattern when planning the procedure. By hiring a professional with experience, you will have a higher chance of getting natural-looking density, long-lasting results, and minimize any complications that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Candidate Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone experiencing hair loss is immediately suitable for a hair transplant. Successful hair transplant depends on having a healthy donor area with sufficient quality hair follicles to cover the thinning or bald areas. People with extensive hair loss, an active scalp condition, some medical issues or a hair loss that is unstable, may not get the appearance they want if they have a transplant too early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, some people also believe that there will be as much hair as they were accustomed as teenagers, which may not be possible depending on the supply of donor hair. A responsible surgeon will check out your medical history, age and long-term hair loss pattern before deciding to suggest surgery. Sometimes, a different treatment like medicine or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is recommended as the first treatment. Therefore, remember to consult your doctor before getting a hair transplant to avoid the chances of a failed hair transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Following Post-Operative Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not just the day of the transplant that is significant, but the following days and weeks as well. Newly transplanted grafts are fragile and need to be handled with great care as they seek a blood supply to their new home. Failure to adhere to after-care instructions will decrease graft survival and may impact the outcome. Patients who scratch or touch the scalp, wash their hair too vigorously, or go out in sunlight or start strenuous activity too quickly, may inadvertently injure transplanted follicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, excessive drinking of alcohol and smoking during recovery can also affect healing by blocking the blood flow. By following your surgeon&#8217;s advice on sleeping position, how you wash hair, drug prescriptions and activity guidelines, the grafts have the best chance of healing successfully. Proper aftercare can greatly enhance the potential for healthy hair regrowth and long-term success of the transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unrealistic Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes a hair transplant is considered a failure simply because the patient&#8217;s expectations were unrealistic. Hair will not grow in overnight and it will take several months for the transplanted hair to grow in. It&#8217;s common for many patients to have a shedding phase of the transplanted hair in the first few weeks after the transplant procedure; this is called shock loss. The new hair will start to grow slowly in the next few months, and the final density will not be noticeable until much later. Moreover, a transplant will enhance coverage but will not give you the super thick hair that you might have had years ago. Therefore, ask your skin specialist to discuss about the hair loss that is expected and results that can be achieved based on the hair that you have available to donate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hair transplant is a fantastic cosmetic treatment for balding or severely thinning hair.
