Understanding Your Hair Loss
A Receding Hairline, A Thinning Crown And Widespread Shedding Can Have Different Causes. Establishing The Diagnosis Comes Before Choosing A Procedure.
Hairline And Temples
Changes Around The Forehead May Affect The Frame Of Your Face. Assessment Considers Your Existing Hairline, Age And Likely Future Hair Loss.
Crown And Coverage
The Crown Can Require Substantial Donor Hair. Discuss The Area To Cover And Priorities When The Available Grafts Cannot Provide Equal Density Everywhere.
Diffuse Or Patchy Loss
Sudden Shedding, Bald Patches Or Scalp Inflammation May Need Investigation And Medical Treatment First. Transplantation Does Not Treat Every Cause Of Hair Loss.
Is Hair Transplant Right For You?
The Decision Combines A Scalp Examination, Your Health And A Realistic Long-Term Plan. Photos Alone Cannot Establish Suitability.
When Surgery May Be Considered
There Is An Established Pattern Of Hair Loss, Sufficient Suitable Donor Hair And A Recipient Area Capable Of Supporting Growth. You Understand The Limits Of Coverage And Can Follow Aftercare.
When Further Assessment Is Needed
Rapidly Changing Hair Loss, Widespread Donor Thinning, An Inflamed Scalp, Previous Surgery Or A Medical Condition Can Change The Plan. Younger Patients May Benefit From Treating And Monitoring Hair Loss Before Surgery.
Hairline And Donor Planning
A Transplant Redistributes A Limited Supply Of Hair. The Design Should Make Sense Now And If Hair Loss Progresses.
Your Hairline Design
Discuss The Position, Shape And Direction Of The Proposed Hairline. A Very Low Hairline Can Use More Grafts And May Limit Future Choices.
Grafts And Hair Counts
A Graft May Contain More Than One Hair. Ask Whether An Estimate Refers To Grafts Or Hairs, Which Areas It Covers And How The Count Will Be Documented.
A Donor Reserve
Hair Calibre, Donor Density, Previous Harvesting And The Size Of The Recipient Area Affect Achievable Coverage. The Largest Graft Number Is Not Automatically The Most Appropriate Plan.
Preparing For Your Procedure
Ask For Written Instructions Matched To Your Health, Technique And Travel Arrangements.
Health And Medicines
Disclose Medical Conditions, Allergies, Previous Scalp Procedures, Smoking And All Medicines Or Supplements. Confirm Any Tests And Medication Changes With The Treating Team; Do Not Stop Prescribed Treatment Yourself.
Practical Arrangements
Confirm Shaving, Eating And Drinking Instructions, The Expected Appointment Length And Whether An Escort Is Needed. Plan Time Away From Work And Suitable Transport After The Procedure.
Your Treatment Agreement
Review The Proposed Hairline, Areas Treated, Graft Estimate, Technique, Named Clinician, Fees And Follow-Up. Resolve Questions Before Giving Consent.
Your Hair Transplant Journey
The Sequence And Time Needed Depend On Your Plan. Ask The Team To Explain How Each Stage Will Be Carried Out.
Assessment And Design
The Clinician Reviews Your Scalp And Health, Confirms The Donor And Recipient Areas, And Agrees The Hairline And Graft Plan With You.
Collection And Placement
Local Anaesthesia Is Commonly Used. Grafts Are Collected, Prepared And Placed According To The Planned Direction And Distribution. The Team Explains Any Sedation And Monitoring.
Discharge And Review
Before Leaving, Receive Instructions For Protecting Grafts, Washing, Medicines And Follow-Up. Confirm How To Contact The Team If A Concern Develops.
Your Care At DCH Hospital

Ask The Team To Identify The Clinician Responsible For Your Hair Transplant, Their Relevant Qualifications And Who Carries Out Assessment, Harvesting, Recipient-Site Creation And Graft Placement.
Agree Your Follow-Up
Request Written Aftercare, A Review Schedule And A Contact Route For Unexpected Symptoms. Confirm How Records And Progress Photographs Will Be Reviewed If You Live Outside Bangkok.
