I have terrible scabbing just 3 days after my FUE. I haven’t touched the area, what should I do. Use a surgical sponge to wash it by rolling over the grafts, back to front. If you don’t keep the scabbing away, they form in the first three days and won’t come off for 2-4 weeks. […]

I performed this surgery on this man with 1800 grafts. Note the picture on the left which is one day after the surgery. Because he washed his hair using our washing technique, he formed no scabs (crusts) on the wounds after the surgery. Note also in the after pictures, that the center forelock which was […]
https://ventsmagazine.com/2021/02/24/man-dies-a-day-after-his-hair-transplant/ I remember a 33 year old marathon runner that dropped dead at the peak of his health. Nobody knows why it happened. One can suspect that his heart had an ectopic beat that came in a particular part of the cardiac cycle and induced Ventricular Fibrillation (no heart beat). I knew a 40 year […]
Can you imagine having to walk around like this. The doctor has no sense that there was a technique to wash off the crusts the day of and the day after the surgery. Within 3 days of surgery you should look perfectly normal and able to go out in public without detection. By the third […]
These crusts should be allowed to shed with shampoo regularly, leaving the shampoo on the scalp for 10 minutes and then gently rubbing them until they come off. It may take a few days? but don’t push it. After 2 weeks, the risk of graft loss is minimal. Compare this man on the left 1 […]
I have developed bleeding and many pimples in my recipient area 3 months after my hair transplant. You might have an infection or cysts from the surgery. Go back and have your surgeon examine you, culture the drain these cysts. Lance pimples that are large and then commence treatment if needed.
I saw this photo on an internet site where the patient asked how his recipient area looked and why the cracks where there. Clearly the doctor never told the patient how to take care of the recipient area. This poor man will have to walk around for almost a month with this ‘cake’ on his […]
FUE scars can show on a shaved head, especially if you had (1) many FUEs and (2) a large punch used to create the FUEs. If you shave your head you will see the areas where the follicular units were removed. Longer hair can always grow out to cover it. For people who have significant […]
The Post: After Hair Transplants, many doctors ignore patients’ questions – why? was followed on Reddit where it was posted initially with the following responses. I think that my point was understood. Comment 1: Yes I totally agree. I had a good transplant so I am ok and don’t had much to complain about (post […]
Almost every day I get emails (because of my internet presence) from patients who had surgery and find their doctors don’t seem to answer their concerns and questions. Many of these men see an abrupt change in the doctor when compared to before their surgery. I guess it is like being sold a used car […]
The only way to prevent shock loss (the loss of your native hair) following a hair transplant is to take the drug finasteride prior to the transplant and then after it for a year or more. When this happens in women, there is no known way to prevent shock loss as the mechanism is different
Can you image going out in public with this look on the left? The patient on the left is not our patient but compare our patient on the right and see the difference. We are obsessed with an undetectable look beginning when you leave our office. What this doctor did, was to leave his grafts […]
This death was a reaction to some drug he was on but it does illustrate that any surgery, even a hair transplant, is a surgery with all of the risks associated with it. There is not a lot of details other that describing an anaphylactic reaction (an allergic reaction impacting his ability to breath) most probably […]
The photo shows where the balloon was placed behind the scar into the normal scalp. The balloon in then inflated twice or three times a week through a ‘port’ and as the balloon enlarges, the scalp stretches. Eventually there is enough stretch to advance the normal stretched scalp forward after the bun scar is removed. […]
For this man’s doctor, each patient was about money, i.e. how much money he could extract from every patient. Many young men fall victims to such doctor behavior as this man did. The doctor told him that the 3000 grafts he was going to perform would not produce any scarring. This man only had a […]
