I suppose if you see stubs of hair follicles out of your body with bulbs on them, it could reflect grafts and if that’s the case, what you lost will never grow. I’m really not sure what you’re seeing. A tight hat can pull out grafts, though the grafts should’ve been secured by the 5 […]

I am not against capitalism, but last week I met with a young man who took advantage of “special pricing” for hair transplants at just $0.99 cents a graft by a clinic here in Southern California. Yes, you read that price correctly. This is the same facility where a man had died during his transplant […]
I don’t usually post testimonial style emails like this, but I just received this note from a patient who had 2159 grafts earlier this week. I wanted to show how a patient is following my post-operative instructions for washing and medicating, and isn’t experiencing any pain or heavy scabbing. The lesson here is for anyone […]
There have been concerns expressed that people that have had a hair transplant look like a bloody mess right after the surgery. When I recently posted a photo of a typical post-op case to another website, some forum members there expressed surprise and disbelief that a patient could not have blood on their scalp as […]
I don’t really understand the anatomy as you described it. Wrapping the head for a week… well, I have never heard of that excepting in World War I when soldiers had head injuries or Hollywood wanted to get audience sympathy. What I do is put a ‘tennis’ type band around the head (like a sweat […]
This patient has 1235 grafts placed into the corners of her hairline. The After photo was taken when she was 2 weeks post surgery. She showed many people and most people did not believe she had a transplant. None of the hairs have fallen out yet, although I would expect that the shedding of the […]
I know how difficult it is for a person to undergo a buzz cut in the frontal area just to accommodate a hair transplant, so I have learned how to do this over the years without that close cut. This has, of course, helped my practice as people have built in camouflage with no forced […]
You probably have a telogen effluvium which will eventually resolve when you hair goes out of the shock caused by the surgery. This is not uncommon.
Here’s a recent patient of Dr. Pak‘s that has agreed to show his full face (and results) to the world. He’s very excited about the future of his hair, and although these photos are only 10 days out of surgery, you can see that he’s on the right track. There’s no redness, no scabbing, no […]
Since you have staples, I’ll make a wild assumption that you had the strip method surgery, in which case the wound should not be soaked for easily 3-4 weeks after a surgery. If you had a surgery using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique, then you could probably go surfing. The wounds are not strong […]
I have not seen this type of change associated with a brow lift incision. I have seen hair loss with a finer hair appearing in front of the brow lift incision, but I have not seen someone change variable parts of the scalp hair and not other parts. I would have to examine you to […]
You seem to have two problems going on. Concerning the dye, you may have sustained a chemical burn and this can cause permanent hair loss. If you are losing more hair since the transplant I would want to know if you were taking Propecia (finasteride) before the surgery to protect against shock loss. The chemical […]
The last two patients done this past week had no scabs when they left surgery or on the days following surgery. This is what we expect in over 90% of patients and most can go out into the real world without a hat on. Some people keep the scabs longer. The length of time relates […]
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 […]
This Norwood Class 3A patient came in for a check-up 10 days after his hair transplant procedure of 2,000 grafts. The scabs are gone and the recipient area is very clean with no visible redness. I wanted to show this patient because I’m constantly asked, “What will I look like after surgery?” — and with […]
