The candidacy question they answer too quickly
Most consultations in India run between 20 and 40 minutes. In that window, a doctor assesses your scalp, photographs your hairline, and tells you whether you are a candidate. What they rarely tell you is that candidacy has two separate components: whether you can have the procedure, and whether you will get meaningful results from it. A person with a Norwood scale grade VI pattern and limited donor density at the back of the scalp can technically undergo a transplant. The grafts will take. But the coverage achieved may be far below what the before-and-after wall suggests, because the donor supply simply does not stretch far enough. Ask specifically: how many grafts does my donor zone realistically yield, and how does that compare to the area I want covered? If the doctor gives you a number without examining the donor zone under magnification, that number is an estimate with a wide margin.
