Everything you ever wanted to know about hair transplants - The Consultation

Hair transplants have come a long way since hair plugs in the 70's and 80's.  Now, the hair is divided up into individual hair follicles so that when they are placed the results are inconspicuous.  The hair transplant consultation begins with meeting with your hair transplant surgeon to determine whether or not you even need a hair transplant and if so how many grafts you need.  Your hair transplant surgeon should review your entire history and perform a generalized physical to make sure you're okay for the procedure.  If you're taking any blood thinners make sure you let your surgeon know.  Also, the donor site in the back of your scalp should be assessed to see if you have enough hair grafts for the hair transplant.  Review the consent forms well and determine if you need any anesthesia or if your hair transplant surgeon used local anesthesia only.  Finally, look at the charges and be careful.  It will benefit you to visit several Baltimore hair transplant surgeons to see what he/she can offer you and for what price.  Also, check out the before and after hair transplant photos.  Next up.....the hair transplant procedure.
