Evidence bundle
Claims and approvals improve when documents are complete on first submission. Keep names, dates, and signatures consistent.
Financial continuity
Financial penalties usually increase when contingency decisions are late. Build cancellation dates before flight lock and communicate immediately.

Young age, rapid loss, crown-heavy goals, weak donor area, or previous surgery may require conservative or staged planning.
Unrealistic expectations, active scalp disease, unmanaged medical risk, or donor overuse concerns can make postponement safer.
