Reasons For Hair Transplantation Failure

Hair Transplantation is a revolutionary procedure in the field of aesthetic surgery, done to help patients who are bald-headed or have thinning or receding hairlines. As any cosmetic surgery has got its own risks and benefits, the success of hair restoration procedures outweigh the risks associated with it only when it is done from the hands of an expert surgeon and his team. The failure in this procedure is incredibly rare if the doctor and patient discuss everything regarding pre and post-operative care and the possible risk factors associated with the procedure that is unique to each patient. This is helpful for the patient to understand the potential reasons that a hair transplant may fail at a rare case and to correct and prevent this rare circumstance.

The possible reasons for failure include the following:

• The skill and expertise of the doctor is the first and foremost thing to consider. You should also look for the certification of the doctor from a reputed institute, the number of cases handled, whether he/she is patient-friendly and is able to provide with before and after photographs of the cases handled.
• The technique used for harvesting the graft determines the success of transplantation. If the technique could render only fewer and fewer quality grafts then it would result in failure.
• The clinical condition of the patient should be well examined by the doctor. The bald skin should be free from any disease at the time of hair transplantation.
• Improper post-operative care and not following the aftercare instructions can have adverse effects in graft survival as well as the final outcome.
• When the surgeon fails to conduct some tests and examination to evaluate indicators such as future implications of hair loss pattern, hair loss classification and hair loss diagnosis to determine if you are a good candidate for transplantation.
• The grafts that are harvested should be handled and preserved properly under optimum conditions with the utmost care. Failure of which can be the cause of graft failure.
• The correct placement of grafts in the recipient site determines the proper growth. It is the surgical skill and expertise of the surgeon to handle these delicate grafts and place them in the right spot with required angulation to assure cent percent success.
• Not selecting the appropriate donor hair grafts could be the reason for the failure because the donor hairs from other people or other areas from your body are not as successful as those harvested from the back of your scalp.
• Any delay in the process of transplanting the grafts to the recipient site can actually lead to follicular unit desiccation which is the result of the graft spending too much time outside the body from the time it is excised off from the donor area. This, in turn, leads to the transplantation process becoming non-productive.
• Finally, any dishonesty or malpractices followed during the procedure can lead to failure. Of course, this is a very rare cause and therefore it is important to select a reputed clinic.
