Your case is complex. I have no idea what densities you have or the extent of your scar and wound defect. Most people who’ve had 7 scalp reductions are left with a slot deformity. I would like to see some good pictures of your scalp from the front, top, sides, and back. I am sure […]

The bruising is rare, but it is normal to have swelling after a hair transplant procedure if your surgeon did not use large dose steroids to prevent it. It should be found in the pre-operative or post-operative handout you hopefully received — and more importantly in your operative consent form. Most of the swelling should […]
It takes about 6 months for any scar to heal relatively fully, thus I recommend waiting out that 6 month time frame.
You are incorrect with regard to Propecia (finasteride). It continues to work for years and does not simply stop at the end of the 5th year. What usually happens is that hair loss continues to progress and eventually (around the 5th year), you may go back to your baseline hair loss pattern — but if […]
It sounds like you know all the technical difficulties associated with follicular unit transplantation — are you a hair transplant surgeon? As you mentioned, I wrote about the Choi Implanter before — What is the Choi Implanter?. There’s nothing else I can really add to that. The Hair Implanter Carousel was patented back in the […]
Thank you for sending this! This is a fantastic photo journal that shows a breast cancer survivor’s hair regrowth timeline after her last round of chemotherapy.
In the United States, surgeons generally charge per graft (follicular unit). One graft contains anywhere from one, two, three, and sometimes 4 hairs. In general, one graft averages 2.2 hairs. Some doctors add to the confusion about pricing by switching to a charge per hair, to make it appear less expensive. So if 1700 hairs […]
I wasn’t going to even bother posting this, as you’re either an unnecessarily angry moron or a just “hilarious” prankster. Hopefully you’re joking, but I’m posting this as a shocking reminder that prejudice and discrimination exists for hair loss. The ironic part is that you stated that you are a “former bald” — meaning you […]
Thanks for pointing me to the video! While I’m not the biggest fan of rap music and this video is probably not for everyone, I can say that this was quite funny. Since the visitor demographics for this site are all over the place, I’d say this is definitely worth posting here. The video is […]
Scalp exercises are used to increase the laxity to the scalp, as shown in this video: As long as you are pushing down on the scalp and not creating constant pull 24 hours a day, you should not have traction alopecia from this. Traction alopecia occurs when you keep your hair pulled or braided […]
Nip/Tuck, an outrageous plastic surgery drama TV series on the FX Network, has two episodes featuring hair transplants — the first of which has just aired this week. We actually advised on the program and they elected to use the hair transplant Carousel (automated rapid fire hair implanter), which I invented in the 1990s. I […]
This patient got rid of his incredibly obvious combover and became a man that has regained his self-esteem and youthful looks. He had one procedure of 2590 grafts with Dr. Jae Pak. Click the photos to enlarge. After Before (there is a line drawn in indicating the new hairline)
The ‘acute’ hair loss impact, when it occurs, usually happens in the first few months. Any change beyond that is not directly related to the trauma, but the hair loss could be permanent. In other words, your hair loss is probably not related to the accident. Generally a hair transplant into scars caused by an […]
Taken from a Japanese talent show, this video is for those of you who want to know how to build a classy comb-over (if one could ever consider a comb-over to be classy). Actually, the result is quite impressive —
Update: The video is gone now, but here’s the story — Gooch hair adverts ‘misleading’ The BBC aired a watchdog report about a laser hair treatment center in the UK, called Advanced Hair Studio. This is a very well made 10 minute long report and well worth watching.
