FUE Hair Transplant Surgery
Baldness is often blamed on poor circulation to the scalp, vitamin deficiencies, dandruff and even excessive hat wearing. All these theories have been disproved. It is also untrue that hair loss can be determined by looking at your maternal grandfather, or that 40-year-old men who haven't lost their hair will never lose it. We offer hair restoration that looks natural and is a permanent solution.
Hair loss is primarily caused by a combination of:
Aging
A change in hormones
A family history of baldness
As a rule, the earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the baldness will become.
What is hair transplant surgery?
Hair transplant surgery is performed to restore hair to areas of the scalp that are bald or that have thinning hair. There are multiple types of hair replacement surgery. At North Shore Plastic Surgery, we use the Follicular Unit Extraction or Excision (FUE) method. FUE transplants hair from one area of the scalp to another by extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the balding or thinning areas. FUE is a permanent, natural-looking solution to recreate your hairline and growth pattern.
Who is a good candidate for hair transplant surgery?
You may be a candidate for hair transplant surgery if you have healthy hair growth at the back and sides of the head to serve as donor areas.
Donor areas are the places on the head from which grafts and flaps are taken.
Other factors, such as hair color, texture and waviness or curliness may also affect the cosmetic result.
Hair transplant surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but the results won't necessarily match your ideal. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations, and discuss them with Dr. Wages.
