The First Hair Transplant Assessment Scale: Parameters for Good Hair Transplantation

In 2020, Dr. Muhammad Ahmad proposed the first standardized hair transplant assessment scale, designed to differentiate between "good" and "bad" hair transplants by evaluating parameters such as planning, execution, and postoperative outcome. The scale consists of five components: the anterior hairline, fronto-temporal angle, mid-scalp, occipital hairline, and donor area, each graded based on the presence or absence of certain features. The study identified key parameters for distinguishing good from bad hair transplant results, including the final cosmetic outcome, hair angles, signs of complications, and consideration of donor scars from previous surgeries. The researchers concluded that a good hair transplant is determined by multiple parameters, providing a method to standardize the outcome of hair transplant surgery.
