Characteristics of an Elite Hair Transplant Surgeon: Who is the Best?

“Who is the best hair transplant surgeon” is a question commonly asked on our online community hair restoration forum. Because selecting a quality hair restoration physician is vital to ensure a successful result, this question demands an answer.

But determining “who is best” is often very subjective and is not necessarily the right question. Instead, a better question would be, “What are the characteristics of an elite hair transplant surgeon?”

In simple terms, an elite hair restoration surgeon is one who continually adapts and refines their techniques to meet a patient’s hair restoration goals. An elite hair transplant doctor will also stand by their work and help their patients through any potential problems. Continuing education, regular consulting with other leading hair replacement surgeons, and a dedication to patient excellence are key ingredients to making an elite hair transplant surgeon.

Our patient based online hair transplant community carefully selects only the best of surgeons to recommend on the Hair Transplant Network. With today’s improvements in hair transplant techniques, dedicated surgeons with experienced staff can perform large dense packed sessions of ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation in a single session when appropriate for the patient. Creating smaller incisions with ultra refined tools allows a surgeon to densely pack follicular unit grafts close together, almost twice as much as standard follicular unit hair transplantation, while minimizing scalp trauma. An elite group of surgeons who perform these ultra refined hair transplant  sessions are eligible for members hip in the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. See our high level of membership standards for the Coalition by clicking here.

The key in selecting an elite hair transplant surgeon is in doing meticulous research of any surgeon you are considering. Look for consistency in hair transplant results by reading patient experiences, viewing real patient hair transplant photos, and if possible, meeting with patients to see their result in person. Viewing photos is good, but meeting with real patients is even better. Get past the hype of fancy marketing claims, and speak to real patients on our hair restoration forum.
