What Questions Should I Ask in My Hair Transplant Consultation in Calgary?

Why Your Consultation Matters

Your initial consultation sets the foundation for a successful outcome. It’s more than just a conversation; it’s your opportunity to understand the procedure, meet your surgical team, and build trust. 

Dr. Dhaliwal believes in transparency. No treatment begins until you and your provider share the same expectations and goals. This ensures the final results look natural, age-appropriate, and long-lasting. A good consultation should help you leave feeling informed, confident, and fully comfortable with your decision. 
 

Essential Questions to Ask During Your Hair Transplant Consultation

1. What Are My Options for Hair Restoration? 

Ask about all available solutions, not just surgery. At Hair Nation, every patient is evaluated for both surgical and non-surgical options. For men, treatment may focus on restoring receding hairlines or crown coverage, while women often address thinning along the part line or diffuse loss. Understanding which approach suits your needs helps ensure lasting satisfaction. 

2. How Experienced Is the Surgeon? 

Experience matters. Ask how many procedures your provider has performed and request to see before-and-after photos. Dr. Dhaliwal completed advanced training with leading specialists worldwide and has extensive experience performing transplants for patients of all hair types, including ethnic and curly hair. 

3. How Will You Protect My Donor Area? 

An ethical hair transplant preserves the donor area, the region of healthy follicles taken for grafting. Overharvesting can cause permanent thinning. Hair Nation uses advanced techniques to ensure safe, even extraction for natural, lasting results. 

4. What Results Can I Expect? 

Realistic expectations are key. Ask about how density, texture, and growth will progress over time. 

• For men: most transplants focus on redefining the hairline or filling the crown while maintaining natural density. 
• For women: results typically involve overall thickening and volume enhancement, with subtle blending into existing hair. 

Questions That Build Confidence 

Your comfort level with the clinic and surgeon is just as important as the technical details. Here are a few additional questions to help you feel secure in your choice: 

• What technique will be used — fue or fut? 
• How many grafts do you recommend, and why? 
• How long is recovery, and what does aftercare look like? 
• What does your follow-up process include? 
• Do you provide before-and-after images or patient testimonials? 

A professional clinic like Hair Nation will take time to answer each one clearly and honestly.
