Greetings,
Here is a patient of mine who had received 2 previous botched eyebrow transplants as well as an eyebrow tattoo from a very well known cosmetic surgeon who does not specialize in eyebrow transplants, but “sold” these procedures in his office and then subsequently had a medical technician perform the entire procedure. As you can see from the results in the “before” photos, the patient had about 10-15 hairs growing in every direction from the these 2 procedures.
When the patient presented to me (she was referred to me by a plastic surgeon patient of mine) I told her that the scarring from the tattoo and the previous procedures would affect the growth rate of the hair that I transplant (I usually see 90-95% growth of the follicles we place into healthy tissue). Because of this I told the patient she would likely have to undergo 2 procedures to achieve the density she is looking for. The results below show the patient 6 months after the first procedure. She is still learning how to trim the hairs properly, but is already thrilled with her dramatic results.
All the best,

The temporal peaks in both males and females are an important characteristic in hairline design and create and youthful aesthetic appearance. It is always important to keep in mind the overall donor supply in making the decision to restore the temporal peaks. One must also understand that patients with curly hair will have a more noticeable difference to the character of the typically finer and straight temporal hair. Also, it is important the primarily single hair follicles are utilized.
This patient has abundant donor supply and wished to have his temporal peaks restored. He received approximately 150 grafts per temporal peak via FUE. Finer hairs from the inferior aspect of his occipital region were used to recreate the naturally finer temporal hair. He should see some additional density over the next 6 months, but he is already thrilled with his results.
All the best,

Here is a letter I just received from a patient of mine who decided not to proceed with his hair transplant procedure.
I hope you enjoy reading.
All the best,

Dr. Dauer:
This letter is a bit different than those you receive from patients who have undergone procedures. I have read testimonials given by others on your website and fully appreciate their words. While I think they are of great value, my experience with you, I think, adds to their comments as to your professionalism, dedication to your craft and concern for your patients. It is said that people show their true character under adverse circumstances. If so, I believe the following serves as an excellent example of the kind of doctor and person you are.
Before visiting you, I had been to a well-known clinic as well as a renowned plastic surgeon to consider my options. Frankly, at our initial contact, you were so engaging, it kind of caught me off guard. It became obvious from that meeting you were going to be the guy! During my consult, you couldn’t have been more personable or informative. There was no sales pitch or pressure put upon me. You freely gave of your time and encouraged me to ask questions (of which I had many). You made it clear that it was a personal determination and your goal was to educate me, answer my questions and provide me with whatever information was available so that I could make an intelligent decision. You thoughtfully and thoroughly described the procedures and what I might expect from them. I couldn’t have asked for a better explanation of what was involved. You also created a comfort level that made me feel as if I was talking to a nonjudgmental friend, someone whom I could confide and trust in what was, for me, a very difficult choice.
My procedure was scheduled for Monday morning. That Sunday night, for personal reasons, I came to the conclusion that this wasn’t the right time for me to undergo a transplant. I dreaded the thought of the conversation that would take place the next morning. I was bitterly conflicted- I couldn’t sleep! I knew that you had arranged your schedule so as to be able to devote the entire day to my procedure and I figured (correctly) that it would be too late for you to call off those who would assist you. When we met, I couldn’t believe your empathy and understanding, most particularly when I spoke of my reservations and apprehensions. You were the consummate professional. Although I know you must have been greatly disappointed, you patiently listened to what I had to say and made it clear that if I was less than completely ready and comfortable with undergoing the procedure, we wouldn’t do it that day. This meant that, in essence, you wound up eating a full day’s work and virtually your entire fee. Your compassion and class was extraordinary! Through no fault of yours, I actually felt as if I was letting you down, not because of any pressure applied upon me (quite the contrary), but rather because your were so gracious about it- that goes for your staff as well, who couldn’t have been nicer or more congenial, even after I delivered the bad news.
Your kindness and consideration did not go unnoticed. I consider myself lucky to have found you. I can’t imagine anyone having handled this situation at significant personal expense, with any greater compassion and understanding. Hopefully, the time will come when I’ll be ready to go forward, make the move and have the opportunity to comment upon your skills much like others have done.
You put your patient’s concerns and best interests above personal financial benefit and convenience. I felt the very least I could do was memorialize how grateful I am for the way you handled the situation and give others the benefit of my thoughts. If they are looking for someone to perform hair restoration who truly cares about his or her patients, they couldn’t find a better doctor and, just as importantly, a better person.
Sincerely,
Stu Glovin

Today I want to talk about something that everyone experiences to some extent. Pre-hair transplant procedure anxiety. I have undergone 3 procedures myself, and know exactly what to expect, and yet I still experienced some degree of anxiety prior to each procedure. Everyone is different and comes into this procedure with a different perspective. Some are more excited and less nervous and some are the other way around. I am very sensitive to this in my interactions with my patients. I will always do everything in my power to re-assure the patient and let them know that they are in great hands. I will also give my patients as much information as possible regarding what to expect throughout the procedure and post procedure time period. In addition, unlike many other clinics that perform hair restoration procedures, we are not trying to “sell” our services. That means starting with myself, who performs each and every consultation without the assistance of a “patient advisor”, “counselor” or “sales person”, my job is to educate the prospective patient, answer their questions, and give them realistic expectations as to what they can look forward to if they decide to undergo the procedure. In no way and at no time will I or anyone in my practice pressure the prospective patient into moving forward with the procedure if they are not comfortable with it. I would prefer that a patient not move forward if they are not completely comfortable with all the aspects that it entails. Again, I can educate, help to alleviate irrational fears, and provide moral support throughout the process. I can also attest to the fact that almost every single patient of mine tells me a year after their procedure that their only regret is not having the procedure performed sooner and enjoying the results for longer. But at the end of the day, the prospective patient needs to be psychologically ready to move forward.
The video below is of a patient of mine who considered canceling his procedure on the day of his procedure, and he describes the day in detail and his subsequent decision to undergo the procedure.
I hope you enjoy watching.

Here is a new hair transplant testimonial by a patient of mine who happens to be an Emergency Room physician. It is interesting to hear the perspective of a physician who has undergone the procedure himself.
