What are the Qualities of a Good Hair Transplant Surgeon?

In the modern era of hair transplant surgery, the artistic sense of hair transplant surgery is not as often discussed as science part of the surgery. Although overall surgery is difficult to teach and pass on to the next generations of best hair transplant surgeons they are no less important for training good surgeons and maintaining their high standards.

By this blog we will try to review and give opinions to define what being a good hair transplant surgeon really means? Also, we will try to look into the subject by analyzing the essential conditions for being a good hair transplant surgeon and the qualities that such a specialist should possess?

    • Strong aesthetic sense

    • Vast theoretic knowledge

    • High practical skills

     

      It enables a hair transplant surgeon to make a sound practical judgment to design and implant the grafts independent of specialized medical knowledge and training for a better outlook and obtaining natural hairline. The possible ways of enhancing artistic sense during surgical training and subsequent practice require separate analysis. It’s like painting on a blank canvass with paints and a brush.

Undoubtedly, being a good hair transplant surgeon is influenced by his or her education and training. The education and training should fulfill two main objectives.

The first one is to develop good manual proficiency. After all, the crucial part of a hair transplant surgeon’s work is manual. Regardless of how other elements may seem important, a hair transplant surgeon without adequate manual skills is not a surgeon.

The second objective is to acquire a comprehensive range of clinical and scientific knowledge relevant to the chosen specialty. In factual life, one often comes across with surgeons who have succeeded in one of these directions but, sadly, not in both. Expert technicians can be to some extent missing in their theoretical and scientific facets. On the other hand, the wish to obtain vast theoretical knowledge of complex medical issues often co-exists with sub-standard progress in the operating room.

The blog readers may decide themselves whom of the above two categories they would choose while finalizing their hair transplant surgeon.
