Hair Transplant Results in Beverly Hills after 5 months

Just had a patient come in.  He is 5 months out from his procedure date.  He looks so good I posted him on our new Samson-hair-transplant website.  He still has another 5-6 months to go. 

He said his dating life has improved.  I thought it was crazy to say that so soon but he truly believes it.  I think he just has more self confidence.  You will notice in the after photo he is combing his hair back and in the before photo he is combing it forward.  He said it was so difficult before because he had to comb his hair forward and constantly try to cover up his loss.  Believe it or not, he's already planning another procedure.  This can get addicting... :-)


I have posted his photos below

Hair Transplant Photos - Eyebrows

Believe it or not, this is possible.  See Below:

Head hair is transplanted into the eyebrows and it grows.  All the patient has to do is trim the hair.

Samson Hair Restoration has done many eyebrow transplants if anyone is interested.

Hairline Techniques - A Bad Hair Transplant vs. A Good Hair Transplant - What you should look for II

As a follow-up to my last blog of Good and Bad Hair Transplants... See below more examples of a good Hair Transplant Samson Hair did and a Bad Hair Transplant that was done by someone else.


Notice: Although his hair is curly, you don't see a perfect semi-circle





Notice how this guys hairline is in a PERFECT SEMI-CIRCLE...even though they are follicular unit grafts they are in a very unnatural formation.   Don't let the doctor draw a perfect semi-circle on your head and call it your new hairline!!!

FUE vs Strip Harvest in Hair Transplants

Follicular Unit Extraction Procedure

Versus

Strip Harvest Procedure

In the past few years we’ve been hearing a lot about Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedures.  This technique has been promoted as “scarless” surgery.  For those who have taken a big gulp of the Koolaid, this is the only way to do hair transplant procedures, and the strip harvest technique is dead.  They say the FUE procedures are more natural, less painful and quicker to heal.

Not so fast…

 

There are major limitations to FUE procedures.  Typically, even in the most skilled hands, patients have a 15-20% loss of grafts, grafts that don’t survive the transplant process.  A person pays for 1000 grafts and only 800 end up growing.  In addition, the FUE sessions are typically smaller, so doctors can’t do a 3000 graft FUE case.  If the patient needs that many grafts, it might 2 – 3 sessions.  People with very curly hair and those with a lot of hair loss are not generally candidates for the procedure.

Most importantly, FUE procedures, like all hair transplant procedures result in scars.  As you can see below...

The main difference from the strip technique which produces a linear scar, is that FUE procedures result in hundreds of tiny scars instead of one long scar.  Since many patients heal with a very fine scar line with the standard strip harvest technique, there’s no advantage in that case to doing an FUE procedure.  And, FUE procedures cost three times as much.

Natural Looking Hair Transplants

It may be said that hairline restoration is what separates the good hair transplant surgeons from the bad among surgeons.

While transplanting a follicular grouping is relatively easy, recreating a natural hairline is not. The master surgeon understands that the shape and location of the hairline is dependent upon the facial features of each individual and certain principles underlying how hairlines grow naturally.

Another great example of a natural hairline...

And then the example of a totally unnatural hairline....



Hairline Techniques - A Bad Hair Transplant vs. A Good Hair Transplant - What you should look for.

Hair transplants that are done in an unnatural way can be very obvious if you know what you are looking for.  The picture below is someone who had a a procedure done at a clinic where his hairline was placed in a very straight line. 

Detectable Hairline

When a hair transplant is done right, it should look like this...

Natural Hairline - Samson Patient

This simple example is why Samson Hair Transplants stand out from the rest.  The word "hairline" should not be taken literally when doing a hair restoration procedure. 

 

Stu's After Photo

Stu Weiss came in yesterday for a long term check-up and was shocked to see his before photos from 2.5 years ago.  He is planning to do another procedure to lower his hairline.  At his age (which we will not disclose) he is definately able to do this.  If he was in his early 20's, it would not be an option.  We will be applying the Quadrian Hairline technique again as well as the trichophytic closure.  Stu's current photo is attached.  I will post his before and after on Tuesday.  It's a pretty dramatic change.
