From the picture, it does seem that one section of the frontal hairline did not grow. Sometimes such a problem reflects a technical issue at the time of the surgery so return to your surgeon and ask your surgeon why this area failed. Hopefully, you will give you an honest answer and will make it […]
The growth does not look like 3600 grafts but you still might see more growth over the next few months. If there is not much more growth, go back and see your surgeon and ask if there was some problem with the surgery. Most failures are technical in nature and reflect some quality control issues […]
It appears that all of the native hair was lost from the surgery (before photo on the left and after on the right)and that your hair transplant was a failure. I always tell my patients that to hold on to their native hair, then should go on the drug finasteride, Go back and meet with […]
A failure of a hair transplant is most often a reflection of the techniques used. If I had a failure, I would perform the next surgery at no charge. Yes, by all means, go back to your doctor and ask about why it failed. Assuming that you do not have some dermatologic disease that caused […]
It is now 5 months since my hair transplant, is it normal and I am very worried about the growth. Is the surgery a failure or can I expect more growth? I tell my patients that hair growth often starts between three to five months and then keeps growing at a rate of about a half inch per […]
We have talked about the artistry in doing a hair transplant. This is a failure of artistry as the surgeon lined up every graft like soldiers in the field. The orderly nature of these grafts will grow hair that lines up like soldiers as well. Add to the poor artistry, the straight hairline, the poor […]

Setting proper expectation that are realistic is critical between the doctor and the patient. From what this patient told me in his email, he did not elaborate why he was disappointed so I […]
Transplanted hair grafts usually shed and fall out within the first few weeks after surgery. Transplanted hair grafts usually go into a dormant state and will not produce new hairs or continue to grow. The first few months after surgery you may look worse as you may continue to lose your native non-transplanted hairs. Not […]
Can you imagine that you go see a doctor because you are losing your hair. You are young and you believe in modern medicine and in doctors. You take the courageous step to improve your look and get your hair back to look younger. You have already lost too much hair and fear that you […]

These diseases are more often recognized in the frontal area, but you did report some growth there suggesting that the skin and scalp is probably normal. This may reflect a technical failure in […]
Most consumers and patients take for granted that “board certification” implies some level of expertise and qualification of a doctor. What does it ultimately mean to you? Why do we even bother with it? Is it to advertise achievement reflecting doctors’ credentials? In the United States there are 24 approved medical specialty boards that are […]
“Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified 19 cases of nontuberculous mycobacteria wound infections among US residents who had undergone cosmetic surgery in the Dominican Republic.[1] Fourteen of these patients required hospitalization in the United States, with corrective surgery and long courses of antibiotic therapy.” This was quoted from Medscape June 24, […]
