In case of the frontal area of your head, getting a hair transplant is the way to go. When it comes to getting a hair transplant, you don’t always get only one chance. The customer who gave us a unique interview~ Hello, I’m Kim Jin-Oh,the director of NHI(New Hair Institute) ‘a unique interview with him’’ Yes, I enjoyed the video. I understand his concerns.

I saw the interview video and I have a few things to tell you, so I’m filming this. I used to think that hair transplant was the only solution for hair loss. For someone, especially as a specialist in plastic surgery, who thought that solutions such as intra follicular injection, medical treatment, and laser treatment were all lies that made no sense,

you could probably tell that my stance have changed compared to the earlier days in my baldingblog. In the beginning of my blog, I posted a lot about hair transplant. These days, I post a lot about overall lifestyles and treatment on hair loss. In case of the frontal area of your head,however, getting a hair transplant is the way to go.

Although it is a little less effective on the front part of the head, medical treatment such as medication, intra follicular injection, and laser treatment can be very effective on the top and crown parts of the head. It is recommended that all methods be combined to help with hair loss.

If surgery is enough to improve your hair loss, you won’t need any other treatment, but not many people feel as much improvement as they have expected. Everyone gets a little disappointed. So I recommend combining all methods to improve hair loss. So, in the past as a doctor who preferred hair transplant, I used to recommend surgery if patient wanted it.

However, since a few years ago it has become customary for me to try all other possibilities such as taking medicines and depending on the results decide whether or not to do the surgery especially in the case of the crown area of the head but also with the frontal area.

Of course, In case of those who’re in a hurry or have already been treated but haven’t had much effect, I recommend them to get the surgery right away. But customarily, I consider the former as the standard way. If you look at this interview video, When it comes to hair transplant, it is a one in a lifetime chance right?

As you know, since hair transplant is a surgery that takes hair from the back area and transplant it to the front area, once the hairs are moved, there will be no more hair that can be additionally collected from the back area. From the patient’s point of view, because hair transplant is the last resort for hair loss treatment, patients have to be careful and look up a lot of information about the surgery.

However, when it comes to getting a hair transplant, you don’t always get only one chance. There may be differences between people depending on how many grafts you used in your first surgery, or how dense your donor area is, but generally, you can get hair transplant 2 or 3 times in your lifetime.

Of course, in case of those who have small amount of hair on the donor area, or those who need hair transplant with very large amount of grafts, they may only be able to get hair transplant only once in their lifetime. So I also think it’s right to approach the matter carefully. I think it’s important for the doctor to suggest what’s best for the patient.

I think it’s important to thoroughly consider what it is that the patients wants, what are the ways to achieve such goals, and thoroughly explain how much one could expect out of the result. Secondly, he told me about the success fee. Interviewer: If my hair did not grow because not all thousand transplanted hair follicles survived even after 6 months to a year after the surgery…

Among them 5 hair follicles may not survive right? In that case, 5 hair follicles worth of money should be excluded from the total. If we compare this to the law firm I work at, it will be kind of like the contingent fee. In the patients’ perspective this gives them full guarantee.

‘You have to guarantee a 100 percent that everything will go well, and if the survival rate of the graft doesn’t reach a 100 percent~’ Is what he told me when talking about hair transplant results. From the customer’s point view, this is right. Although from the consumer’s point of view, this is all good and true, when it comes to medical science not all may be that simple.

There’s a scene in the drama ‘A Wise Doctor Life’ where actor Jung Kyung-ho says this: ‘I’ll do my best’ f course, hair transplant surgery and hair loss treatment are cosmetic procedures, so it may be a little difficult to compare, but like the doctors in the drama, I always tell patients that our medical team including myself always do our best to perform the surgery.

If the survival rate of the graft and the results of the surgery are solely up to the medical team, I think it’s right to do what he says. However, the results are also affected by the patient’s individual factors. And what we call an ‘unknown X-factor’ may also affect the result of the surgery. There are many factors that affect the result of surgery.

Of course, the doctor’s skills and the medical staff’s skills are important, but there are other factors that can affect the result of surgery. In some cases, the results may be judged to be poor due to the patient’s individual factors or the X-factor. In this case, even if the medical team did their best, the results might not be good.

Like Dr.Jung Kyung-ho in the drama, even if doctors did their best to operate, sometimes they may not be able to save the patients. But if a doctor is criticized for the results of the surgery or is forced to take responsibility, he or she will not want to do the surgery because the burden of the surgery is very high.

For example, if for a certain cancer surgery a surgeon is made to take some responsibility, no surgeon would want to do it anymore. Same goes for hair transplant surgeries. If this is the case, there will be a huge decrease in the number of doctors and clinics who would want to do hair transplant surgery,

so it will cause the cost of surgery to go up, which will cause a lot of difficulties for customers in unexpected areas. I told you from a doctor’s point of view. Of course, when it comes to buying electronics, you can think like that from a general consumer’s point of view, but because it medical science we are talking about, it’s hard for patients to understand the difference.

I think this is because patients simply think that hair should grow because they got a hair transplant surgery. Assuming we’re planning to transplant 1000 grafts, how do I verify if they’re all transplanted? It takes less than 30 mins to count a thousand. If I can count the number of grafts,I’ll count as many as I can. The number of grafts contracted is…

If you want to check it out we can show you the charts we made on the number of the grafts, or you can also count for yourself. Especially in the case of the FUE, you can count the number of holes in the donor area. Don’t worry too much about that. I think we can safely say that no clinic cheats on patients with grafts these days. Success fee, deferred payment...There’s a deferred payment system for apartments, too.

I’ll consider about it later if our clinic does really well. One of the things we can do for our customers is a customer satisfaction guarantee. After hair transplant surgery, if there are parts that are less dense than expected, we do the surgery again to increase density on these area. I can’t give you 100 percent satisfaction because I’m not God.

I do many touch-up surgery for those who have gotten hair transplant in other clinics, but sometimes the surgery I did needs it as well to increase density. Thank you for saying a lot of good things. If there is anything to be applied and corrected, we will surely reflect on such issues to improve our clinic. Thank you for saying a lot of good things for our clinic.

We will continue to try our clinic become more advanced. Thank you for watching.
