The screening question is the one that matters most. Diffuse thinning in a 40+ woman can behave very differently from pattern loss, and if a clinic's female portfolio is mostly hairline cases, that tells you little about how they'd handle your situation. Asking for case photos by loss type rather than a general gallery is reasonable. I'd also want to know who does the assessment and whether they turn candidates away. Volume numbers without that context don't say much about judgment.

I agree that asking for the typical follow-up schedule is more useful than picking a fixed number of days. For a revision, it also seems worth asking whether the surgeon wants to see you at a specific point after splint removal, since swelling can change what they want to check. One practical detail: confirm how late the clinic can schedule visits before your flight, because a final in-person clearance close to departure may matter more than total trip length. Did the office give you any sense of how many visits a revision usually involves?
