Hair Transplant Repair Case

, , ,

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who had multiple old hair transplants harvested via FUT from another surgeon. He has a severe form of hairloss (norwood 6) and the surgeon gave him a very aggressive hairline (which is why I always do a more conservative hairline in younger patients). His results ended up being very unnatural with massive hairloss happening behind the hairline. The gap between the hair on the bottom sides and the bald areas on top (the alleys as I call them), is a give away for a hair transplant. Also because he had extensive scarring from his previous procedures he had very little donor hair left in the back. I harvested 1613 grafts via FUE primarily from the sides which still had decent density and transplanted extensively into the alleys and the mid scalp and crown. The results are impressive and much more natural than before. Also we are going to do another procedure in the future using neck beard hair, which will also increase the density even more. The patient is thrilled.

Celebrity Hair Transplant

Greetings,

Today I want to highlight an article I came across from the UK. A well known athlete Phil Tufnell underwent a hair transplant recently and discussed his experience with the British press. More and more celebrities are discussing their hair transplant experiences allowing people to know that hair transplants are very common amongst the celebrity crowd. In most cases the public never knows if the celebrity has underwent a hair transplant procedure as most tend to keep the information to themselves, and of course we as physicians guard the privacy of our patients extremely closely. Privacy is of the utmost concern in most of these cases. However, when the occasional celebrity decides to go public with their experience it helps to give people a feeling of confidence in the procedure. If someone who makes their living based on their looks is comfortable undergoing a hair transplant, than certainly the average person should feel comfortable that in the “right” hands they can have completely natural results with a hair transplant procedure. I have provided a link to the original article below.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.
