What the clinician needs to assess
A clinician should first establish the type of hair loss. Transplantation may be appropriate for permanent pattern hair loss but is not suitable for every cause of thinning or patchy loss. Donor density, hair characteristics, scalp health and future progression affect the plan. Bring a history of hair loss, treatments and any scalp symptoms rather than requesting a graft count alone.

Explore procedure & clinicsUnderstand the proposed method
FUE: Individual follicular units are harvested, leaving multiple small donor scars.
FUT or strip method: A strip is removed and divided into grafts, leaving a linear donor scar.
Conservative or staged design: Coverage is planned around the available donor supply and possible future loss.
Discuss risk before consent
Bleeding, infection, anaesthetic reactions, noticeable scars and failure of some transplanted hair to grow are possible. Donor-site appearance and uneven results should be discussed as well as the frontal hairline. Ask who performs each stage, how donor harvesting is limited and how disappointing growth would be evaluated before another operation is proposed.
Agree the follow-up plan
The scalp and grafts need protection during early healing, with washing and activity instructions supplied by the clinic. Early shedding does not necessarily represent the eventual growth result. Growth is assessed over a much longer period than wound healing. Arrange staged follow-up photographs and clinical review, and obtain instructions for severe pain or unexpected symptoms after leaving Korea.
