One of the most popular cosmetic procedures, hair
transplantation is known to enhance the looks of those who opt for it. The
patient sees the results several times every day in mirror as well as his/her
relatives, friends and associates who comment on it as well. This alone is the
reason to ensure that the outcome of the transplant is exactly what patient anticipated
during his discussion with the hair restoration specialist. They should both agree
upon the probable effect of the procedure so that there are no "surprises"
after the surgery for the patient.
An unforeseen result of the procedure could be due to many
reasons. Foremost is the preoperative communication between patient and doctor that
fails to connect them. Patient sometime fails to ask relevant
questions or answered in such a way by the doctor that patient does not grasp
it fully.
For anyone considering hair transplant in Ludhiana, Punjab, India
it is vital to have all your queries answered. No question is awkward or
embarrassing enough to go asked. Surgeons should encourage patients to share
their concerns and quell their fears by providing comprehensible information to
them. It’s perfectly alright to ask again or even ask follow up questions in
case you do not understand the answer or feel that it does not give you
complete information you wanted. Among other issues that goad patients and most
often they feel hesitant inquiring about cost of the procedure is perhaps the
most important. Importance of this question cannot be undermined and should be
answered by doctor honestly.
We all have economical constrains and no one should be embarrassed
to discuss the affordability a cosmetic treatment is with the surgeon. You
should also ask about all the available options of hair restoration and their cost without hesitation. Only after exploring all possibilities at consultation when you
feel that you are sure should you agree on a line of treatment that you can
afford, and that also can give results that will satisfy you.
Amount of pain and discomfort involved in a procedure is
another question that troubles many but they feel hesitant to bring up the
topic. They feel awkward to even mention pain and yet it could be the only thing
stopping them from having a procedure.
Doctors are well aware of the fact that the fear of pain and
anxiety are directly related. If fear of pain is overcome, anxiety of the
patient becomes less and he actively participates in pain-control methods that the
doctor prescribes. It is important that the doctor encourage you to speak up on
the issue of pain and address them properly so as not to et it discourage you hair
transplant.

what anesthetic agent will be used and reason for its usage. Though eliminating
pain completely is impossible but anesthesia lowers pain and also helps in controlling
bleeding during surgery. Knowing nurses and technicians who will assist the
physician beforehand will help you relax and keep you comfortable.
