How was my donor supply assessed?
How does extraction fit the long-term plan?
DHI commonly describes implantation with an implanter instrument. Donor harvesting may still use FUE, so these labels can belong to the same plan.
How will grafts be harvested and placed?

Good information makes space for questions. These are a few of the most useful ones to begin with.
Explore all questions ↗Begin by understanding the reason for your hair loss and the questions you want answered. Explore the patient guide, then arrange an assessment with a qualified clinician before deciding on a procedure.
They describe different parts of a procedure. FUE refers to harvesting donor grafts; DHI commonly describes an implantation approach. A proposed procedure may involve both. Ask for the complete sequence.
Photographs may help start a discussion, but a final plan needs an appropriate clinical assessment. Ask how any preliminary estimate was made and what may change after examination.
Hair growth develops over months. The timing of a mature result varies and may extend beyond a year. Your treating clinician should explain the review schedule for your case.
No. The cause of hair loss, scalp condition, donor hair and wider medical circumstances must be assessed. Surgery is not appropriate for every person or every pattern of loss.
DecisionsLook at time intervals, lighting, styling and donor views to understand what a set of result photographs can and cannot show.
