I have reviewed your pictures today. You appear to be a Norwood Class 3V pattern. At the age of 23, I would rather that you start taking Propecia (finasteride) before you do anything. If you have a transplant without that drug, you will accelerate your hair loss and if you think you are miserable now, […]

Pseudopelade is a peculiar form of scarring alopecia resembling alopecia areata. It is unclear if it is immunologic (your body thinks your hair is foreign and kills it) or genetic in nature. Unfortunately the condition is not amendable to hair transplantation, because you would run the risk of more hair loss and failure of the […]
If you have been to 25 other doctors, I do not know how much I can help. Hair transplants should not hurt after a few days. Moreover it should never require dependancy on narcotics and “debilitating constipation”. It is my opinion your pain may be from other causes.
I agree with you that although hair loss is caused by genes, it can be influenced by the environment where chemical products, drugs, malnutrition, and stress can induce the expression of balding genes. Hair loss is not a modern society occurrence. Men have been bald since the beginning of recorded time. Hats and wigs have […]
Medical science has made it possible to transplant human organs such as heart, kidney, liver, or other critical organs from one person to another. However, the recipients of these organs have to be on life-long immune suppressing medications, which make them prone to life threatening infections. Otherwise, the transplanted organs would be rejected by the […]
Scalp hair is better understood and tested for over 50 years. Although the art form has only been reasonable for the past decade or so, the facts concerning hair growth from a scalp source as donor hair are well understood. It is always important for me to inform patients about their risks, expected growth rate, […]
Redness will almost certainly go away with time. You might try hydrocortisone cream 0.05% and apply it to the red area in three or four 12 hour applications per week. Do not use it chronically, because steroid creams do get absorbed by your body. If you are a young man and had transplants without taking […]
If you have a good doctor, you should be discussing these things with that doctor. You asked about itchiness and was told that it is caused by male pattern balding. That is not the case as there is no evidence that the two are connected directly unless it is the result of sunburns or other […]
I just had a patient who, in our routine testing, had a lab test that was HIV positive (he was very surprised). He is over 50, recently married and his wife of three years was tested for HIV prior to her marriage, but he was not. He and she came into the office quite calm. […]
First, you should go back to the doctor who did your transplant and ask him/her if there were any issues the time of surgery that may have caused problems. Some sensory defects are often present and usually go away within a few days after the surgery. At times some small nerve endings are severed with […]
I want to have the body I had when I was 40, but at 60 I can’t get there. Reality is that everyone loses youth and I accept that for myself. You need to stop gambling and start being smart about your hair loss. Once your hair is mapped out for miniaturization, you can be […]
You were born with a ‘bald leg’ and it is just the way you are. It’s in your genes. If you are asking for a surgical or medical solution to your bald leg, there are no medications for bald limbs, but there are always hair transplants, though there are lots of drawbacks to them. If […]
Funny you asked about Matthew McConaughey. I saw his new movie this weekend, Failure to Launch. I must thank you for the compliment, but I cannot take the credit for his hairline. I do not personally know Mr. McConaughey, nor do I know if he had a hair transplant, and nor do I know if […]
To begin, I am happy to hear that the recents test for cancer were negative. No, oily scalp is not a problem for a hair transplant. If you drive your life in fear of cancer then you have a problem that needs professional help. Chemotherapy MAY cause hair loss anywhere in the body as chemo […]
As I understand it, Donald Trump was a victim of the old hair transplant process starting in the 1980s. The quality of the work most probably resulted in the pluggy look, and he possibly had scalp reductions (which were popular in those days). Between the two, he might have little donor hair left. There may […]
