How Does a Patient Look When Leaving Your Office After a Transplant?

Hi there,

I saw screenshots of Jon from Jon & Kate Plus 8 and had some questions:

When a patient leaves the office after the operation, does he just walk out of the office looking like Jon did (in the 3 Immediatley After photos)- without a covering/hat, redness in the forhead, and hair messy?

I just wonder for people that fly into your L.A office for a procedure then fly out straight from surgery- and having concerns about being self concious as they stand in line for the flight back.

It all depends on how bald you are or how much hair you had before the surgery. If you are completely bald, it is hard to not notice some stubble and a few patients may have considerable redness that lasts a few days on the bald scalp, but we provide a hat to cover that easily. In Jon’s case, he was able to cover the transplants by combing his natural hair forward and wearing a hat and also the ‘cover up’ may be dependent upon how you can style your hair. Quite a few patients are undetectable immediately after the surgery.
