- Having realistic expectations from the procedure
- Hair loss pattern

While considering a hair transplant, it is very important for you to have any of your questions clarified with your surgeon prior to the procedure and understanding what can be realistically expected as far as your hairline restoration is concerned, period during which hair growth or improvement can be observed etc.,
