I’ve seen quite a bit in the news about Wayne Rooney, and I must admit I had no idea who he was before learning he had a hair transplant. I don’t follow soccer. The hairline shown in the photo he posted looks like it was placed high and perfectly rounded with a few little zig-zags […]

I would want to examine you, but GVHD can produce permanent partial hair loss. So the question then is whether the balding spots support a transplanted hair graft. FUE placed into the affected area will address that issue. If the test transplant works, then the analysis of supply vs need of hair can be analyzed. […]
If you feel the need to verify that you got what you paid for or what the doctor represented to you in regard to the follicular unit extraction (FUE) transplant, then you can get a second opinion. I have done that on a number of patients, but if the transplant was more than a week […]
Of course, you know that I pioneered follicular unit extraction (FUE) and published the first article in the medical literature on the technique in 2002. As for why the press is misreporting information, I don’t know why it happens. Perhaps it’s just laziness on their part. FUE is far from a radical technique and it […]
Perhaps you are right, but in the spirit of scientific research we have to try. That is one reason why we are trying to conduct formal IRB approved clinical research. It will either prove or disprove the concept. The hope is that the plucking approach will yield more hair than moving the hairs around with […]
This answer is going to be a little long and technical, but hopefully some find interest in this… Donor Area: The donor area is always the rim of hair that is seen in the Norwood Class 7 patient (see art at right). It starts at the occipital prominence of the skull (back of the skull) […]
First, thank you for permission to post your photos! If I was able to map out your scalp for miniaturization, I’d be able to tell if the top and crown of your head, which appears normal now, has any early signs of balding there. The pattern you present with is between and Norwood 3A […]
Hair multiplication has been a hot topic in hair restoration field in the last few years and many patients with severe hair loss hope that using this technique they can get back a full head of hair without worrying about donor supply limitation. I think it would be helpful to review a recent article in […]
The first issue should be whether or not you are you a candidate for hair transplantation. More than 80% of women are not candidates for hair transplants, because the hair loss is diffuse and the donor area is not healthy (highly miniaturized hairs are often present). First, you need a quantification of how much miniaturization […]
In answering this, I will first assume that this writer is a man — I apologize in advance if I’m mistaken. It is unusual that one plucking of a hair will result in permanent hair loss. I would certainly wait a year before assuming that the hair loss is permanent and with a pore present, […]
