Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 11: Dr. Pradip Atodaria, a well-known cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Surat, has invented two devices that are proving to be a boon for hair transplant clients and hair transplant surgeons, as the devices count the exact number of transplanted hair follicles. Dr. Atodaria has also published his work in an international journal and applied for a patent.
The cost of hair transplant is usually determined according to the number of hairs or roots transplanted on the head. It is not possible for a client to calculate, making it easy to deceive the patient.
Dr. Atodaria believes that today, not only in Surat, Gujarat, or India, but around 40% to 50% of hair transplant clinics across the world are run by only technicians, where hardly any plastic surgeon or qualified doctor is involved. The important steps of hair transplant procedures like harvesting hair follicles, making holes for implanting harvested hair roots is done by the surgeon only and implantation can be done by technicians under the supervision of the surgeon. In many hair transplant centers around the world including Surat, doctors delegate most of the procedures to technicians. It is unfair and illegal, with a possibility of the patient being deceived. Also the number of hairs & roots transplanted is wrongly quoted. To eliminate this possibility completely, I have invented the two devices,” said Dr. Atodaria.
