Greetings,

Here is a recent piece on CBS News where I discuss my approach to eyebrow transplants and one of my patients discusses her experience undergoing the procedure.

I hope you enjoy watching.

Greetings,

Here is another interview I did with Spencer Kobren of “The Bald Truth” discussing the things to look out for in your hair transplant surgeon and in the planning of your hair transplant procedure.

It is imperative to “get it right” the first time so that you don’t end up with an unnatural look or a problem in the donor or recipient region.

I hope you enjoy watching.

All the best,

Greetings,

Here is a 30 year patient of mine who received 1553 grafts via FUE. The patient is in the military which is why he opted for FUE as he did not want a strip scar to show through his short haircut.

There is a video below of the patient describing his experience undergoing the FUE hair transplant procedure.

I hope you enjoy watching.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Greetings,

Today I saw a patient of mine in follow up who had his procedure approximately 12 months ago. The patient was referred to me by his hair stylist who is also a patient of mine.

The patient received 2617 grafts via FUT.

He is absolutely thrilled with his results.

I have also included a photo of his strip scar which is almost invisible. It measures approximately 1mm wide and has hair growing through it thanks to a trichophytic closure.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Greetings,

Here is a patient who presented to me after undergoing 2 previous procedures with another physician. He was having constant pain in the  donor region. On examination his strip scar was raised and 7-9mm wide and in certain spots there were 2 separate scars.

I decided to revise the scar in the context of the patients procedure to increase the density in his hairline.

While I was extracting the old scar I noticed that there were a number of retained nylon sutures in the wound that were left there and had never been removed. These were likely contributing to the pain and poor healing. I removed the retained sutures and revised the scar closing with a triuchopytic closure to get hair to grow through the scar.

I then placed 1003 grafts into the hairline.

The results of the hair transplant and the donor scar revision are shown below.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who I perfumed a hair transplant of 2258 grafts via FUT. The patient has very fine, straight hair, which is the least ideal hair type when trying to maximize cosmetic density, but despite this the results are still significant and the patient is pleased.

The patient also had a previous procedure with another physician and discusses the difference between my procedure and his previous one.

I hope you enjoy watching.

All the best,

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who just returned for his 9 month follow up after receiving 1372 grafts to the hairline via FUT. The objective was to fill in and define the existing thinning hairline.

The patient is already thrilled with his results and he should see some additional cosmetic density over the next 3-6 months as the transplanted hairs thicken in diameter.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Here is a patient of mine who wanted empty patches in his beard and mustache filled in. I used a 0.8mm FUE punch to extract hair follicles from the neck and transplanted these follicles into the beard and mustache. The results are shown after 6 months and the patient is thrilled.

Greetings,

Here is a patient who recently presented to me with these strip scars from another physician. The patient had multiple strip hair transplant procedures and on the last procedure these very wide scars formed. I do not know exactly what the physician did, or how the patient presented to the physician prior to the last procedure, but this should serve as a warning to both physicians and patients that this can happen if you are not careful. Each patient must be throughly evaluated to determine elasticity, especially after multiple procedures. Each time a strip is harvested the donor elasticity decreases, thus increasing the possibility of scar widening, or the inability to close the would. Tension on the would closure also increases the chances of shock loss of hair around the donor region. Many times the hair lost from shock loss comes back over time, but sometimes it does not.

Sometimes you don’t know you’ve gone too far, until you’ve gone too far. Patients will push the physician in some cases to go for more grafts. Physicians  will want to make the patients happy and feel confident in their abilities. No matter how good you are, you must always be cautious and prepared for the unknown. It’s always obviously better to stop before you get to a problem.

With my success performing FUE I have been encouraging my patients who have had multiple strip procedures to consider an FUE procedure which will not affect a previous strip scar. If I feel it is medically permissible to harvest another strip, I always try to educate the patient that there is always the possibility of scar widening or shock loss around the donor region.

In this case, the treating physician tried to resect the scar with no success. I opted to treat the patient by extracting FUE grafts from the beard and transplanting them into the scars. I hope to post a follow up photo in 6 months showing the results of my procedure.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.
