What should be the Minimum Qualification of a Hair Transplant Surgeon?
The most important decision in restoring your hair is the doctor/surgeon you choose for your treatment! First, when looking for a surgeon it is extremely important to look for a highly qualified and experienced surgeon, specifically with hair transplant surgery. AHRS-India doctors are certified through the credentials & ethics committee and they are familiar with the most advanced tools and techniques for hair transplantation.
Likewise other surgical treatments, an excellent hair transplant procedure requires an excellent artistic mind along with high skills, knowledge and expertise of cosmetic & plastic surgery to generate the best hair transplant results. Any doctor or even technician can perform a hair transplant procedure, but not all can perform it well. Thus, to get the best out of your hair restoration treatment, it is essential to research an individual surgeon's qualifications.
What is the role of the surgeon’s qualification?
The skills, talent and experience of hair transplant surgeons vary widely, as do the results. Who you choose will determine how natural and full your new hair will be for the rest of your life!
While searching for the best surgeon, look at the qualification and experience of the doctor. One mandatory factor to consider and to ask your doctor would be their level of training in the field of hair restoration. Apart from the surgeon’s qualifications, an excellent team is also significant!
Also, don’t forget to look at before and after pictures of their patients and if possible, talk with those patients and find out about their hair restoration experience with the surgeon and team. The feedback towards their past patients plays a major role in the selection of the best hair transplant surgeon.
The hair transplant doctor must have the following qualifications to perform the hair transplant surgery successfully:
- Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon
Make sure that your surgeon must have the degree of plastic and cosmetic surgery that sets him apart from other regular doctors or technicians. Technically, any physician or doctor can perform the procedure, but that doesn't make them qualified for hair transplantation. We recommend seeking out a surgeon who has completed a high level of training in hair restoration along with the plastic & cosmetic surgery degree.
- Training & Certifications
You need to consider various factors that can help you find a good hair transplant surgeon:
Training - A good surgeon should have proper training in hair transplantation by a good center or an experienced hair transplant surgeon.
Certification - There are only two well-known hair restoration societies (ISHRS & ISAPS), whose memberships and contributions are only acquired by the excellent hair transplant surgeons.
