Frequently Asked Questions
Do hair transplants hurt?
Most of our patients say it is a lot less painful than going to the dentist.
Will I have any scars?
Hair transplants may leave minor scars. FUE leaves tiny dots, while FUT leaves a thin linear scar, both easily hidden by hair. You can read more here.
Are there people who should not have hair transplants?
Hair transplants have a very high satisfaction rate when we choose the right patients. Here are a few examples of poor candidates:
It is a general rule that young patients (18-25 years old) are poor candidates. However, there are now medications to treat androgenic alopecia that we did not have several years back.
A patient who is unrealistic about what a hair transplant can accomplish. If a patient’s expectations do not match what I feel is realistic, then it is not a good idea to proceed with the surgery, and I will not perform it.
Finally, a patient who doesn’t want a hair transplant, but is getting the transplant because someone else wants the patient to.
As physicians, it is our responsibility to educate patients on all the treatment alternatives when they are not a good hair transplant candidate and to tell them why they should not have a hair transplant. Our number one responsibility is to be the patient’s advocate, even if it’s against their wishes.
How natural will my results look?
Dr. McAndrews is known for his meticulous technique and artistic eye. Every hairline is carefully designed to match your facial features and hair pattern, producing results that look completely natural.
How can I trust before and after photos?
I do show pictures to patients, but there is something you need to know about the photos:
For most of our patients, a hair transplant is a very private and personal matter; they do not want their pictures shown to other people. We put an extreme value on the confidentiality of our patients.
Pictures have been used in the past to deceive the patient. Different camera angles or lighting can make a person’s hair look like a “before and after” on the very same day. This is very misleading and gives the patients unrealistic expectations. We pride ourselves on matching expectations with reality.
Pictures generally give patients an appearance of having more hair.
If a potential patient wants to see our work, we have several patients who do not mind talking or meeting with them. When a candidate for hair transplants sees one of our patients in person, there is no way to deceive them; they see the results firsthand.
