Answer Snippet
How much does hair transplant cost in Calgary?
Calgary Hair Transplant Cost
Dec 30, 2018
Prices vary as they do in any major city. They are higher in North America but like most things in life, you get what you pay for! At the most established and well known hair transplant clinic in the city, I charge anywhere from $4000 to $13000. In Calgary, clinics with robotic surgery will cost more for less grafts. Beware of black market surgeries, even in Calgary! There is one such clinic in the NW without an actual physician that claims to perform hair transplants….
Can I Receive Someone Else’s Hair for Hair Transplant?
Donor hair from another person
Dec 14, 2018
Unfortunately this is not a viable option. There actually was an experiment done years ago and sure enough the patient’s immune system rejected the transplanted grafts taken from another person. There was also an accident at a major hair transplant chain where the grafts between two different patients were mixed up and sure enough both patients bodies rejected the grafts. These experiences underline the power of the immune system to reject anything foreign. Taking anti-rejection drugs could…
Hairline Has Started to Recede and Would Like a Small Hair Transplant. Is There Minimun Amount Don
Small hair transplant
Dec 14, 2018
You want to make sure a hair transplant is worth your while. This depends on a number of factors but certainly if you were an appropriate surgical candidate (based on age, family history, detailed examination of the scalp, etc.) and had realistic expectations then doing a small surgery of 600-1000 grafts may be appropriate. Smaller sessions will only give you a very subtle improvement. My major caution would be that most men who have just a little recession are actually not good…
Balding or Big Forehead?
Big forehead or balding?
Dec 14, 2018
Great question! You should visit a hair restoration physician to go over your situation in more detail. Useful questions to answer would be, have you noticed your hairline move or has it always been where it is? Some people have naturally high hairlines, many start to recede in their 2nd and 3rd decade. Balding can be diagnosed by looking closely at the hair itself for signs of miniaturization which is why its important you have an in person consultation.
How Much Hair is Growing in by 3 Months After a Hair Transplant?
Hair Growth after 3 Months
Dec 14, 2018
After surgery the transplanted hair goes into a resting phase. This lasts between 3 and 4 months. So at 3 months its possible that some of those follicles are just starting to produce new hair. It would be hard for you to appreciate the growth this early on.
Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant?
Who is a good hair transplant candidate?
Dec 14, 2018
Very good question. Certainly you would have to have an in person consultation with a qualified hair restoration physician to determine if you are a good candidate. Important factors to consider are:
1. Family History – no one has a crystal ball but looking at one’s family members can help gauge how bald one could become.
2. Type of alopecia – male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) may be treated with transplant surgery. Some hair loss can be caused by different disorders and…
Can Grafts Be Pulled out 10 Days After a Hair Transplant?
Can grafts be pulled out?
Dec 14, 2018
Yes its very possible that grafts can be pulled out. By 11 days much of the healing has already taken place but with enough effort grafts can still be pulled. If its true that you actually had 6000 grafts then the resulting trauma to the scalp would be immense which may delay healing causing those grafts to be more fragile. Its possible that you may have had two grafts placed into one site or perhaps for other reasons the graft didn’t take. Also know that often scabs will fall off with hairs…
