RSS FeedAverage Size Hair Transplant SessionPosted by doctorhasson on May 31st, 2010
I have a question. I have already been in contact with your very help staff but I have a question for you: I had a previous hair transplant and had 1200 grafts removed. I live in the UK but want to come over for a mega session and I would like to know without seeing me, typically what is the most amount of follicles the average person has spare? Also I have no desire to take minoxidal or propeccia. Are there any clinically approved herbal remedies that I can use? I want to get going on this as soon as possible. I am looking at 6000 grafts and have available resources from now on.Can you tell me how quickly I can get in and what I need to do? — T.W.
Hello T.W. Thanks for writing. There are no clinically proven herbal remedies that stop hair loss. There is nothing in the natural supplements market that will halt hair loss or regrow hair. If these worked, there would be no need for hair transplant clinics. So far, the only permanent solution to hair loss is hair transplantation, and the only drugs that halt and/or regrow to some extent are Finasteride (Propecia, Avodart), and Minoxidil (Rogaine). We do not recommend Rogaine generally as it is not as effective or convenient as Finasteride, and patients must stop it prior to hair transplant as it is a blood thinner. Blood thinners must be stopped in the months prior to surgery to avoid excessive bleeding during the procedure.
The clinic is usually booking surgeries about 6-8 weeks or later from the time you are approved as a candidate for surgery. First, you must submit a consultation form and receive a recommendation from the doctor.
The consultation form is a two part form. In the first part, you provide contact information, describe your hair loss, and answer questions about your situation. In the second part, you upload digital photos.
As for average number of available grafts, 6000 grafts, in most cases over 2 surgeries would be fairly typical. 3000-4000 grafts is a typical good sized surgery at Hasson & Wong, and for patients with excellent density and scalp laxity, 4000-5000 is quite possible. In rare cases does one surgery exceed 6000, though it certainly does happen at this clinic.
