What Are The Dangers Of A Cheap Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant in India is one of the cheapest in the world. It is moderately priced and when done by professionals, it brings good results. Since hair is a very important feature of our body that makes up our aesthetic, people will do anything to fix it, especially if one is very insecure about it. However, it is possible that customers are baited by black-market clinics with no prior training or experience. This results in many errors that cannot be mended.
So, let’s explore some dangers of hair transplant to prevent ourselves from indulging in them:

• Patchy work- Doctors extract follicles from the donor sites, but this is tricky because once extracted, hair can no longer grow in the donor areas.
  
  Therefore, experienced surgeons will have to make sure to space out the follicles they extract or make them perfectly aligned so it doesn’t look patchy and weird; this means the head on the donor area looks like it is missing some hair.
  
  A hair transplant might sound simple when we say it is extracting follicles from one site and grafting it into a new one but only a skilled surgeon knows the proper alignment to mimic a natural hairline without making it look fake.
  
• Excessive Scarring- Cheap hair transplants can leave scarring due to the carelessness of the surgeon. A skilled surgeon has great command over his hand. In a cheap hair transplant, there may not be as much care put into the surgery.
  
  Therefore, there are excessive scars that look ugly on the head. This is not to be confused with normal scars that occur after a good surgery, which is to be expected. However, they fade over time but a cheap hair transplant can result in excessive scarring which may need to be corrected with more sessions in the clinic.
  
  This will inadvertently cost the patient more money.
  
• Severe Infections- Symptoms of infections that can come from a bad surgery are swelling, redness, excessive bleeding, burning sensations, etc.
  
  The main cause of infections is unsanitary conditions, this means the surgeon was not careful with his instruments or the donor area was exposed to an unsanitary environment. This is extremely dangerous, as it can lead to more hair loss, messed up hair alignment and a general decline in health all over your body.
  
  So it is important to make sure that the clinic takes the most sanitary approach to your hair transplant surgery.
  
• The improper aftercare-Another thing that can happen in a cheap hair transplant is improper aftercare. This means that the patient is not well-advised on good medication to take post-surgery.
  
  These medications help in preventing further hair loss and help in strengthening the hair. And if the patient skimps out on this, this may be a big loss. A good doctor cares about his patient and will consult you on what to do post-surgery.
  
  He will encourage you to question them for more information. A patient who has just gone through surgery is sensitive and may be feeling scared, so it is important that the healthcare workers see to it that they take the proper medication and are feeling assured.
  
  At, Dr. V.S Rathore, we are open with our patients about any inquiry.
  
• Corrective Surgery- After the patient has done a cheap hair transplant, chances are there will be some errors as previously mentioned.
  
  Therefore, to fix these problems, the patient will have to spend more money on correcting the scars, faulty alignment and whatnot.
  
  This is very unlucky but it can be easily avoided if you are taken care of by an experienced and professional surgeon who is well-educated about the procedure.
  
  Cheap surgeons might do things quickly with a lack of care for the patient, this leaves the patient with bad hair transplants that need to fix.

In conclusion, we want to say "Quality over time". Do not focus on cheap hair transplants that bring you quick results without taking care of what you need.

Even if it may seem expensive, it is a permanent change to your life; therefore, it is an investment in your well-being. So it is dangerous to expect good outcomes with cheap and unprofessional clinics. Since your hair is a crucial part of your aesthetic, do not skimp out on costs. To avoid such risks, make sure that you
