Rate of Hair Transplant Success
With the right surgeon, technique and good grafts, hair transplantation should be very successful in creating volume and thickness in thin, balding areas of the hair. Products like Minoxidil (Rogaine) or Finasteride (Propecia) help stimulate hair growth and can be taken before and/or after surgery. To prepare for surgery, ensure that you have at least 1-2 days off after the procedure to relax and let your body heal. Eat healthy, get plenty of rest, avoid alcohol, caffeine,...

Successful Hair Transplant
In the hands of a competent hair transplant surgeon 95% of the grafts should successfully grow. I also have patients stop using aspirin and aspirin related products two weeks before their procedure.

Unsuccessful Hair Transplant Possible?
It is unlikely to have an unsuccessful hair transplant if you’ve chosen a practiced surgeon and the right technique for your needs. Taking care of your body and remaining in good general health is the best preparation for any surgery in order to improve results and healing. For hair transplant specifically, the use of finasteride or minoxidil may speed growth. However, your scalp should yield the planned outcome, again, in the hands of an experienced surgeon.

Preparing for your hair transplant procedure
Generally speaking, we like our patients, especially the younger males, to be on both Rogaine topically and Propecia orally before and after their hair restoration. The idea is to prepare the scalp and limit the shock-loss after the surgery. Whether or not this routine is appropriate for you is best determined by your surgeon during an in-person consultation. Best of luck to you.
