Hair transplant has been an extremely common procedure for ages now but there is still a certain amount of fear that most people tend to associate with the process. Therefore, if you are someone who is willing to go through the process, here are 5 things that you must know before getting a hair transplant done-

1. Keep Consulting Your Dermatologist To Know Which Type Of Hair Transplant Works For YouThere are two types of hair transplant that one can opt for, follicular hair transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE). One has to consult a good dermatologist in order to figure out which procedure suits them best according to their needs. A dermatologist will also help with setting realistic goals and assigning a proper route to success.
2. Have Realistic GoalsGetting a hair transplant procedure may not mean immediate success. Yes, you hear that absolutely right! According to a lot of leading medical portals, it is imperative to have an extremely realistic point of view right from the get-go. Sometimes one process might not be enough and one may have to opt for multiple procedures to finally get the desired result.
3. Understand The CostAn important part of planning the procedure is understanding the cost of it. The cost of getting a hair transplant varies from clinic to clinic but what can also be a factor is the number of procedures you may have to get. Discuss with your dermatologist about all possible costs ahead of getting your first procedure done.
4. Knowledge About Long-Term ResultsHair transplant results are usually long-lasting but as mentioned earlier the success of the procedure may vary on several things such as age, health issues and most importantly your prior hair-loss pattern. 
5. Stop Alcohol And SmokingIf you have setyour heart on getting a hair transplant done, then it is crucial that you stop drinking alcohol and smoking. Based on reports by different reputable health sites on the internet, alcohol and cigarettes can cause issues with the anesthetic medications used during the surgery and may also increase bleeding and bruising. Nicotine present in cigarettes will constrict blood vessels of the body and hamper the regulated blood flow to the scalp which can be detrimental in this process.
