Clinic insight: At Hair Upload Clinic in Istanbul, Dr. Erkam personally assesses each patient’s unique hair loss to determine candidacy, ensuring a tailored plan that minimises risks like overharvesting and achieves natural results.
It is difficult to determine if you’re a good candidate for a hair transplantation without more information about your specific hair loss condition. Factors such as the extent of your hair loss, the cause of your hair loss, and your overall health can all affect whether a hair transplant is a good option for you. Also, it’s not possible to say if you’ll need a second session without first having a consultation with a hair transplant specialist, as the number of sessions required will depend on the extent of your hair loss and your desired results. It is best to consult with a hair transplant specialist to determine if you’re a good candidate for a hair transplant, and how many sessions you may need.
What is mean overharvest during hair transplantation?
“Overharvesting” in the context of hair transplantation refers to the removal of an excessive number of hair follicles during the procedure. This can result in a density that looks unnatural, or in a situation where there are not enough hair follicles remaining in the donor area to allow for future transplants. Also, overharvesting can lead to damage or weakening of the remaining hair in the donor area, which can result in a poor aesthetic outcome. hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, and as such, it should be done by a qualified and experienced surgeon. It’s important to choose a surgeon who is experienced and understands the importance of proper extraction techniques and the need to avoid overharvesting.
