Good judgments in determining the size of the donor area is the best determinant of the size of a donor scar. When the incision is too tight because the piece of excised scalp is too large, then the enemy is tension. The use of special closure techniques minimize the scars and the tension, but a […]

Am I to assume that your surgery 4 months ago was not a hair transplant? Hair transplantation at 18 years old is very unusual and in most situations, not appropriate. Hair transplants can accelerate hair loss in an 18 year old and that is one reason this is rarely done. If you have genetic balding […]
Everything takes time. There is no way to accelerate the healing process you are going through. If after the stitches come out you are still red, then you can apply some 0.5% hydrocortisone cream every 12 hours, but only apply it three or four times and then wait 5 days to see if it resolved. […]
Pimples can be caused by sebum collections below the skin edge, but should have gone away within the first few months. FUE grafts should be trimmed, for if they are not trimmed and divided into their respective follicular unit, they will contain too much skin. The added skin will produce a skin deformity at the […]
Washing is something that must be started at the time of the surgery so that when the patient leaves the surgical suite, the recipient area should be clot and blood free. A good thorough washing the morning following the transplant is critical as it will impact the appearance on all subsequent days. Good washing protects […]
I know that some doctors require you to shave your transplanted area, but I have learned to work around the hair that is still present. Some of my patients who use Toppik can continue to use it, but I’d suggest that you hold off for a week or so after the transplant. I like all […]
There are two types of surgical approaches in harvesting of donor hair. One is where the surgeon removes a strip of skin and then sutures back together (standard for today’s Follicular Unit Transplantation). I generally ask people who have strip harvesting to hold off on body presses, sit-ups and other such types of exercise that […]
There are many factors that could produce this type of result including the presence of diseases of the scalp, DUPA. or bad techniques of the surgical team. Clearly, you must do your homework before undergoing any type of hair transplant
Had surgery over a month ago and my hair is shedding/thinning like crazy! Could it be related? Shedding after a surgery in a young man is almost always the result of shock loss. I always use finasteride to prevent this in men who are balding, and who are under my care. It is particularly important […]
You have a heavily depleted donor area and as of this time, if it does not return in the next month or two, you have only one choice and that is Scalp Micropigmentation (see: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/). Make sure that when selecting someone to fix it, you don’t make another selection error in your doctor
Hair frames the face and a properly designed hairline that doesn’t look like a line makes all of the difference.
I was told that transplanted hair is placed into a hormone sensitive area (area from hair line over the top of the head till small part at the back). What are the chances (approx. in percent if possible) of losing the transplanted hair? how many patients are satisfied with the result 5-10 years post FUE transplatation? […]
4,500 FUE grafts is a high number of FUE grafts for anyone with a lower than average donor density. If you are from India or South Asia, your donor density will not support that number of grafts and thus you have a depleted donor area. Scalp Micropigmentation is the only solution to this problem (see: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/). […]
The man above researched our practice and found Scalp Micropigmentation. He wanted to know if this would work for him since scars from accidents and brain surgery are very difficult to treat. He seems to have an elevated scar in the middle of other scars, which could be flattened with steroid injections prior to having […]
Hair loss in women is not uncommon after any hair or facial surgery. When hair loss occurs after a hairline advancement surgery, the scar which usually abuts the hairline is separated from the hairline so that it stands out. A hair transplant is a way to fix this.
