Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) sounds like a good solution, if you qualify. As you are in California, you should consider visiting me (offices in San Jose and Los Angeles) for a free consultation.

You are semi-correct in stating that burn patients get skin grafting. However the burn patients still end up with a scar that is quite visible. To clarify, ALL scars and ALL cuts will be visible and unavoidable. Once you have scar on your scalp (as you have a linear strip surgery scar) it is impossible […]
Large sessions, really large ones, were defined by me in 1993-4 timeframe when I reported first breaking 2000 grafts/session, then 3000, and finally in early 1994 I reported my first of many 4000+ graft sessions. These are not typical. First, the surgical team must be trained in doing large sessions with fast, efficient cutting and […]
1 Year After FUE – Parted 1 Year After FUE – Shaved At the point where the follicular units are removed, there may be small punctate scars, but not at the recipient site, as the skin is trimmed once the grafts are outside the body. The skin disc that was removed in the FUE […]
Great question! Like any good baseball team, you need to have the team work together to get a winning result. What I have consistently said is that a great hair transplant doctor can not produce great work without a great team. In 1991, the quality of the work performed by the hair transplant industry was […]
There is much on this blog about FUE and I would suggest that you take a look at the FUE category to see what I wrote here in great abundance. Follicular Unit Transplantation was first introduced by our medical group, not Dr. Limmer, but with that said, Dr. Limmer made wonderful contributions on the value […]
Most people in the know believe that Drs Walter Unger and Jerry Cooley have stood at the doorstep for the emerging arena of hair regeneration. They have both spoken at various medical meetings on the subjects of hair regeneration and hair cloning and they have been kind enough to comment on the history and status […]
I always tell people that there is always a scar present, the key is to keep the scar as small as possible. 95% of people will have a scar smaller than 1/8th of an inch wide. Assuming that there is a 1/8th of an inch scar, any reasonable length hair will cover it (even hair […]
You may be a candidate for an FUE procedure. The minimal scarring associated with an FUE procedure will allow you to keep your head shaved without a noticeable scar.

To begin, I am happy to hear that the recents test for cancer were negative. No, oily scalp is not a problem for a hair transplant. If you drive your life in fear of cancer then you have a problem that needs professional help. Chemotherapy MAY cause hair loss anywhere in the body as chemo […]
I have followed Bruce Willis’ hair loss over the years from his thinning during the TV series Moonlighting, to the present day shaved head look he sports. A while back, I did notice what I thought were hair transplants placed in the front of his head, showing a less than artistic straight line of hair […]
Minoxidil may help improve the rate of hair regrowth, however, transplanted hair does not need minoxidil for growth. It sounds to me like you may have some shock loss from the surgical procedure. More than likely, the shock hair loss will reverse (it usually does in women) and your hair would then grow back somewhere […]
The posting you’ve referenced can be found here: Can I Go in a Hot Tub Days After a Hair Transplant? One of the challenges of megasessions (you had 3800 grafts) is to harvest large numbers of grafts safely. The physicians must make judgments with regard to balancing an aggressive approach to harvesting hair and complications […]
Dr. Woods (in Australia) probably is doing something like what I published in 2002 and called Follicular Unit Extraction. He kept what he was doing very secret, whereas I always publish my advances as I prove and document them for the world to see. As such, Dr. Woods promoted what he was doing on the […]
I’m sorry to tell you this, but there is no “average total cost” of a hair transplant. It varies from patient to patient and from doctor to doctor. However, you can usually count on a good hair transplant costing several thousand dollars because it is (or should be) a very detailed and labor intensive process […]
