This is another Turkey patient who was over-harvested. The amount of hair taken from the donor area exceeded what the donor density would support, a common problem when FUE grafts are pushed higher and higher. To make matters worse, the non-permanent zone was harvested as well, so many of the grafts that were harvested are […]
This patient had multiple strip hair transplants, and the surgeons who did this did not keep all of the scars in one place. As a result, the patient ended up with a terrible scarring complication, as shown in these photos. Dr. Tony Rustio from Brazil (trained in SMP by me) repaired this man with Scalp […]
The best and only way to repair this donor area is with Scalp Micropigmentation, which makes it look like you have hair where there is none. This technique does not add hair, but will accomplish the goal of scar coverage and camouflage. These photos suggest that you had too many grafts removed by the FUE […]
This is indeed a very wide scar from a single surgery. This happens for many reasons: The scar is low and may have been made into the nape of the neck, which always stretches if that is the case. That alone can produce a wide scar. The wound was tense during closure because your scalp was […]
Telogen Effluvium is the medical term for acute hair loss that sometimes returns. The return reflects the hair cycle for most women of your age, which is relatively shorter than when you were younger. 50% of postmenopausal women have genetic hair loss from the mother’s side of their family. If it does not reverse in a year, […]
You have a terrible complication that caused you to lose a lot of your donor hair. Maybe with time, it will come back. Go back and speak with your doctor since your donor area is in trouble. You may have been donor area may have been over-harvested, or this could be shock loss since it is in the first […]
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic tattoo. It is not hair and should not be looked at as if it was hair. However, for people with thinning hair, SMP may be the single most effective approach for treating diffuse thinning, giving the patient more value for the amount spent doing it. Hair transplants are much […]
I can now see through to the scalp in the back of my head, which looks like it is balding now. Will the hair grow back in the donor area? After an FUE, the hair that was removed is gone forever and will never regrow. In African hair, the donor supply is numerically lower than both Asians […]
There are many types of trichophytic closures, and I don’t know which type you had done. Many just don’t work well. The ones that do work well create a 4 mm shelf on the lower edge of the wound, and this area is buried below the skin. So, when the hair grows, it grows through the scar […]
Have you looked at Scalp Micropigmentation? This is a great and relatively inexpensive solution to get the look of hairs on a closely shaved head. It is such a great illusion that I have had patients examined by 400 doctors who could not tell that the patient did not have real hair. See pictures here: […]
Hair loss after a strip surgery does happen and it often reverses over a period of time of up to 6 months. If it does not, the best treatment for it is either a scar revision or scalp micropigmentation (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/)
Sometime we doctors don’t come up with a solution for thinning in women, even with extensive blood testing. A simple cosmetic approach is the use of Scalp Micropigmentation, something that I performed on my own family with great success. The cosmetic approach works well for men and women when surgery or drugs just will not […]
You have a Class 7 pattern of balding and to cover the entire head it would require a very high donor density if you wished to do this with hair transplants alone. You can combined FUE and Scalp Micropigmentation to achieve a full looking head of hair but that requires special expertise in planning your […]
More than 5000 grafts performed in this limited space with FUE will deplete the donor area and this many will now have this huge discrepency between his donor area that was not harvested and the area that was harvested. Ther are two solutions for this type of balding (1) is scalp micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/) and the second might […]
