An effective primary consultation is the first step towards a successful hair transplant. It involves consulting a doctor or a surgeon, explain your problem clearly, understand his/her diagnosis and hear the remedial solutions. Once both the parties agree and accept then treatment begins. However, prior to the first meeting or primary consultation there is a lot of inertia seen in patients mainly due to anxiety and information asymmetry.

Hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure but it needs critical decision making at every step of the procedure. Hence, if one is planning to undergo hair transplant, the first step is always to research and find an experienced and expert hair transplant surgeon with whom you can be comfortable in exchanging or discussing your hair loss matter. Primary consultation can confirm the below:
- Whether or not one is a suitable candidate: During primary consultation, the hair transplant surgeon diagnoses the scalp, understands the case details, medical history and decides whether you are a suitable candidate for hair transplant or not.
- Verify the extent of baldness: To measure the extent of baldness, there is a Norwood scale grading the extent of baldness in 7 stages. Here the surgeon understands that the patient is at which stage of baldness.
- Decide the cause of hair loss: Your surgeon might want to know what is causing this hair loss, is it temporary or is it permanent. He/she might also run some diagnostic tests or take details about medical history, recent illness, family history to understand the case better. It is a very crucial step in deciding the treatment plan.
- Inspecting the donor areas: In principle, the hair transplant involves extracting hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them at the bald site, so inspecting the donor area for density and observe permanent hair roots is important step in the process. Usually the back and sides of the hair are a chosen donor area however, in cases where the density is not good at these sites, often chest hair or beard hair are also used as donor areas.
- Number of hair grafts needed: Once the surgeon ascertains, the extent of baldness and donor areas, he/she decides on the number of hair grafts needed to provide an adequate coverage of the bald area. This assessment is done during the primary consult after the complete scrutiny of the scalp. This factor also directly affects the hair transplant cost in Jaipur as usually most of the procedures are quoted on a per graft basis ranging between INR 25-INR 120 per graft.
- Which technique to be used: The hair transplant can be performed using two methods which differ largely on the basis of harvesting method. These methods are namely FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant or strip method) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)technique. Which technique to choose depends on the surgeons understanding and diagnosis of the case, requirement of the number of grafts, sometimes it may be related to the gender of the patient, age any particular preference such as no shave needed.
- Educating the patient about hair transplant: This is a vital role that a surgeon has to play. He/she has to educate the patient about the principles of hair transplant to make them understand what to expect from the procedure, how to prepare for the procedure. A clear communication channel addresses the patient’s anxiety levels, helps building up reputation between the two and thus, goes a long way in establishing the patient’s trust in the surgeon and the procedure.
- Address the queries of the patient: A primary consult provides a platform to the patient to ask as many questions as he/she wants to help their thought process.
Hence, primary consultation is an extremely important step in deciding the fate of the overall procedure. So, if you are also willing to perform a primary consultation, please feel free to book an online appointment with Medispa hair transplant clinic.
