7 Problems You Might Be Inviting If You Get Your Hair Transplant Done By Unlicensed Technicians
by Anju S. Marketing expert & Business analystMost people see a hair transplant as nothing more than a cosmetic procedure, however, it is important to remember that it is a medical procedure and as is the case with any medical procedure, you need to make sure that someone with the right qualification and the appropriate experience is doing it. This means that if you are getting a hair transplant, you need to make sure that only an experienced hair restoration surgeon does it.
When you are out doing your research trying to find the right clinic to get your transplant, there will be plenty of traps in the way – some will offer you high discounts, some will guarantee the best results, while others will promise gifts. You need to remember that you are not out purchasing a home appliance, where discounts and gifts matter. You are getting a procedure is done that could alter the way you look or lead to serious complications. It is imperative that you get your transplant done only and only at the hands of an experienced surgeon – one who is qualified, licensed, certified, and above all, experienced.
But what happens if you get your transplant done by doctors who are inexperienced, unlicensed, or even by support staff? There is plenty that can go wrong and here are the main 7 side effects of hair transplants done by inexperienced and unlicensed persons:
1. For starters, an
unlicensed or inexperienced doctor might not know the correct methods of
gauging whether you are an eligible candidate for a transplant or not. They
might not be able to decipher the proper donor and recipient areas, which means
that the chances of the transplant being successful are highly reduced.
2. One of the
biggest problems during a transplant is overharvesting – an experienced and
qualified surgeon will be able to gauge the approximate number of grafts needed
and will harvest only that amount. However, someone who does not have the
required qualification or certification, will not know when to stop harvesting.
This can lead to serious problems at a later stage and could cause balding as
well, mainly in the donor area now.
3. It is important to
remember that grafts are extremely sensitive and need to be handled with
extreme care – overharvesting is one problem, but not protecting the harvested
grafts is a bigger problem. Once the grafts have been harvested, they need to
be handled very gently and placed carefully,
till they are needed next. One of the biggest flaws of inexperienced
surgeons is not knowing how to handle the grafts which leads to their
destruction.
4. When an
experienced hair restoration surgeon does your procedure, you can be assured
that there will be minimal scarring and whatever scarring is unavoidable is in
such a manner that it gets hidden when the hair starts to grow in. But there is
no guarantee that the same will happen when an inexperienced hand handles your
procedure – there can be intense scarring, some so severe that hair might not
grow in those regions at all.
5. Yet another
problem that you might have to encounter should you get your procedure done by
an unlicensed or inexperienced doctor would be not getting the results you are
looking for. Because they are not sure
of what they are doing, there is no saying how the hair will grow and whether
the final results will look like what was promised to you.
6. One of the
biggest side effects of hair transplant is scalp necrosis and tissue damage –
if the blood flow to the skin is not maintained, it can lead to the ‘death’ of
the tissues in the area and that area eventually becomes black. This is a
common mistake that can be seen when the procedure is done by inexperienced
doctors. If there is tissue damage in an area, it might cause more hair loss
and an almost certainty that no new hair will grow in that region.
7. The success of
the procedure is also based on how you prepare for the procedure and how you
take care post-procedure – an experienced hair restoration surgeon will give
you a full list of the precautions you need to take before and after the
procedure; something that might be missed out in case of the not so reputed
clinics. This could mean that you lose hair before it has time to take root and
you will not have the results you want.
It might cost you a little more, but it is worth choosing an experienced surgeon who practices at a reputed and well-equipped clinic, because, at the end of the day, it will be you who will reap the benefit.
