How to Get the Best Hair Transplant
Monday, August 17th, 2009
Considering the expensive cost and life long benefits of a hair transplant, it is only natural to want to know where you can get the best hair transplant procedure done. Well, there are a lot of good resources to help you find where these top rated hair restoration clinics are.
Your friends and/or family may provide you with some tips of good hair transplant surgeons. But because not many people get hair transplantations in general, online sources of information can point you in the right direction.
Two of the best sources of information for the best hair transplant surgeons are the Hair Transplant Network (hairtransplantnetwork.com) and the list of surgeons from The International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (iahrs.org).
The Hair Transplant Network is an online community which allows its users to share their experiences with surgeons. The reviews on this site are so real that some surgeons sue the site due to some bad reviews. To access their forums simply click on the Hair Loss Form link at the right of the homepage. You won’t find a better online hair loss community than this one due to the amount reviews and amount of member interaction.
Iahrs.org, a consumer organization, has a list of 48 hair transplant doctors. Its surgeons, rather than applying for membership in the organization, are hand selected. If you want the very best procedure, the surgeons you’ll find here do some of the best work in the country.
Although the website of the The International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons is worth looking into, its not like it has the final say on all things dealing with hair transplants. The Hair Transplant Network has reviews from many doctors that are not featured on iahrs.org.
If the surgeon you want is in another city in the US, don’t hesitate to buy a round trip ticket. Because not all hair transplantations are the same, in terms of quality, you’re not going to want to cut corners on small things such as travel costs.
Finally, don’t believe a word that you see on television, internet, or radio, advertising hair transplant services. A large advertising budget does not equate to good service. The more small a clinic is, the less likely it is run like some sort of place where each man (or woman) is a customer rather than a client.
