Assuming that your doctor and his/her team did it all right and you did not grow the hair, you should sit down with your doctor for a frank discussion of the problem. His/her experience should produce a good interchange with the risks of failure […]

I am slightly confused by your question. If you are saying that the hair originally grew and then fell out sometime later, that confuses me. Previouos hair transplants, once they grow, usually last the lifetime of the patient. A good doctor would, I would guess, offer you a repeat procedure if he could not find […]
Scabbing was clearly allowed to build. They should have been kept down with good daily washing. I am assuming that you are more than 2 weeks out of surgery. You can put on shampoo and let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash it off and repeat it a couple of times. You can also […]
A month following the surgery you may wash your hair as you normally would. You should have started to wash it after the surgery, but the ‘crud’ you are talking about reflects scabs from the surgery and skin that normally sheds.

In term of anesthesia, I am not certain if the anesthetic chemical itself causes direct hair loss or just the stress associated with the surgery, although I think that the stress may […]
You daughter can go through periods of shedding hair and then reverse and regrow the hair. It is normal to lose up to 100 hairs per day. Now, if she continues to lose more than 100 hairs and she begins to show bald spots or more scalp, then it is a concern. There are many […]
Note: My answer to this question is very extensive and detailed, almost like a consumer guide for shoppers needing hair transplants. Please take your time in reading it and try to read between the lines, for there is much I did not say. The answer took me over a week to write, because the question […]
A former patient came to my office last week complaining that the hair from the transplant last year did not grow. He wanted to discuss his options with me. When he came in, I pulled out his before pictures to be sure that both he and I would be talking about the presence or absence […]
