It is not about how long you should wait, but rather it’s more about building a Master Plan with your doctor to address this concern. A good doctor will always work off a Master Plan that you and the physician will create. Your questions will then be answered, because you will have a customized plan […]

I cannot comment too much on your particular issues, because I’ve never examined you… but I suspect there was no Master Plan associated with your hair loss issue and you were chasing after a goal that wasn’t clearly laid out. It’s possible you were never given realistic expectations. Perhaps you should see another surgeon for […]
I have no recommendation. How can I? I have never seen you, examined you, or even have any idea of what your balding pattern and level of thinning or your donor hair density, etc. Before any surgery, you must have specific goals and a Master Plan, which is a plan for your future balanced with […]
Yes, you can have a hair transplant to the balding area while you are being treated with Propecia. The drug should prevent shock hair loss if you do have the surgery, but the timing of transplants should be tied to a Master Plan which will ensure your long term results. The timing includes just how […]
If you are losing this much hair at such a young age, it is not a good sign. There is a risk that you may go on to lose all of your hair before you are 30 years old. Despite what you may think, you will still care how you look like when you are […]
Losing hair in the area that I call the “temple peaks” may be part of the balding process in some men. Hair transplants to this area takes a special skill to make it look truly natural. I have seen more problems with the transplants done in this area from doctors who have not mastered the […]
If you develop senile alopecia when you are much older, if your doctor produced a Master Plan for you, this should not be a problem. The doctor would have accounted for such a process in the plan, provided that he performed follicular unit transplants in a pattern that would give consideration to such a change. […]
If there is a balding pattern like a Norwood Class 4A, no matter what the age, he would probably be a candidate for a hair transplant provided that: He had enough maturity and knowledge at hand with realistic expectations. He understands the financial short and long-term nature of paying for the process. His examination shows […]
First, I want to make sure you’re talking about the temple peaks on the sides of the head, and not the corners of the hairline (many people refer to the corners of the hairline as the “temples,” but that isn’t right). So assuming you’re talking about the temple peaks (the prominences above your ears), then […]
Propecia will certainly slow down the timeline for your hair loss. Shock loss does not happen following surgery in most men who are taking this drug. There’s no guarantee though, and determining the risk isn’t something that can be done by an exam. I generally tell patients to wait until at least the age of […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full article Plea For Age Limits On Hair Transplant Surgery I’m glad Dr. Farjo is speaking out about this. I get quite a few emails from teens asking for surgical advice, but you must understand that hair transplantation should not be an option until you’re an adult. It’s not […]
The article states, “The Restoration Robotics prototype system is a state-of-the-art, interactive, image-guided robotic system that is designed to conduct automated harvesting of follicular units in hair transplant surgery.” For those doctors who have not mastered FUE through a manual approach, this will become a tool that will aid new doctors in the field. It […]
I recently met with a hair transplant doctor from Asia who confided with me that the results from those doctors who use the Choi implanter are generally poor. For reasons unclear to me, it seems that many of the doctors in Asia have not mastered the techniques for manual preparation and the placing of grafts. […]
While price/cost is a factor for any cosmetic surgery, it should not dictate the surgery itself. Having cosmetic surgery is not like shopping for the cheapest loaf of bread, laundry detergent, or shoes. When shock loss occurs, it may be the result of the anesthesia given to numb the head for the transplant and may […]
I have to speak in generalities, something that I do not like to do as every situation is different. Generally speaking, the less the number of surgeries the better for the donor supply, but as larger and larger sessions are tackled, the surgical team is as critical as other items such as donor density and […]
