Post Hair Loss Questions and Get Answers

The experience and skill of hair transplant surgeons vary widely as do their results. Thus, selecting a quality hair transplant surgeon is critical in order to achieve a natural, full looking head of hair. But what do hair loss sufferers need to know before undergoing surgery at their local hair restoration clinic? Below we provide tips on how to select a qualified physician that can help not only to restore lost lustrous locks, but lost confidence as well.

At the Hair Transplant Network, we make selecting a quality hair transplant surgeon easy. Each physician recommended by our online community is carefully prescreened and selected based on their proven ability to produce fabulous, natural looking results. To see a list of surgeons we recommend, click here. To see our high standards for recommendation, click here.

While the best physicians using state of the art techniques can often successfully mimic nature, they are still limited to a finite donor hair supply and can only work within the boundaries of a patient’s physiology. Thus, researching our community and interaction with other forum and social community members can help patients find the best hair doctors and develop realistic expectations as to what hair restoration surgery can accomplish for them.

Hair loss suffering men and women are encouraged to learn all they can about hair transplantation and the doctors that perform it well before undergoing surgery. To learn from patients about which physicians are producing truly natural results, visit our hair restoration forum and social community.  You can also access our directory of prescreened hair transplant surgeons.

Selecting a quality hair restoration surgeon is crucial to obtaining dense and natural looking hair transplant results. This is why patients have the final say as to which physicians are recommended on the Hair Transplant Network.  Thus, we’d like your input regarding the potential recommendation of Dr. Sanusi Umar of Redondo Beach, California.

Dr. Umar is arguably the world’s foremost expert in BHT (Body Hair Transplants – transferring body hair follicles to balding areas of the scalp) and has been performing advanced follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedures at his clinic in Redondo Beach, California since 2005. Dr. Umar is very hands on and extracts and places all FUE and BHT grafts himself.

Dr. Umar developed a passion for alternative hair transplantation due to a botched 400 graft strip surgery he endured several years ago. Dr. Umar’s specialty is in state of the art FUE and specialty repair cases.

You are encouraged to view the Potential Recommendation of Dr. Sanusi Umar to view the highlights regarding Dr. Umar, his credentials and his patient photos.

We look forward to receiving your input.

Dr. Paul Rose, a highly esteemed member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians is world renowned for performing ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation with excellent results.  He is also one of the first physicians in the early 1990′s to develop and implement the follicular unit procedure.

Recently, Dr. Rose teamed up with Coalition member Dr. Bernard Nusbaum to continue his world renowned practice at his hair transplant clinic in Coral Gables, Florida near Miami.

Dr. Rose has a long history of producing natural looking hair transplant results and performs sessions exceeding 2500 follicular unit grafts when appropriate for the patient.  Thus, we encourage hair loss suffering men and women near and around Miami and Coral Gables to strongly consider Dr. Rose for their next hair restoration procedure.

Recently, Dr. Jim Harris, who is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network became amongst the first hair restoration physicians to purchase the ARTAS Hair Restoration System, a hair transplant machine innovated by Restoration Robotics in an attempt to automate the follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure.  But can ARTAS live up to its promise of increased extraction speeds, lower transection rates, increased session sizes, and optimal hair growth yield?

Like previous FUE extraction machines, the ARTAS Hair Restoration System attempts to increase the speed of extraction (allowing for larger single sessions) while automating the surgical process.  Claims that very little skill is needed to use automated devices has  led some marketing giants to mass market their machine to the neophyte hair transplant surgeon and untrained medical professionals.  Since no automated device or machine can adapt or make critical decisions during an FUE procedure, many hair loss practitioners and veteran patients have expressed concerns that many who undergo surgery with a neophyte surgeon using the ARTAS or any automated hair transplant equipment will eventually come forward with less than satisfactory results.

While the concept of automating the FUE hair transplant procedure is impressive, putting such advanced equipment in novice hands may be disastrous.  However, innovative machines like the ARTAS Hair Restoration System in skilled and experienced hands could significantly aid quality physicians and their staff in providing patients with the best results.

According to Dr. Harris:

I acquired the system because it produces great follicular unit grafts at an efficient rate and it will help leverage my resources.

Recently, we sought the input and opinions of the hair restoration patient community about potentially inviting Dr. Melike Kulahci to join the ranks of the Coalition. In addition to the positive responses we received by her patients on the discussion topic “Potential Coalition Membership for Dr. Melike Kulahci of Istanbul, Turkey“, several forum members and leading hair restoration physicians expressed their public and private support for her inclusion.

The forum topic about her potential membership also includes numerous examples of her ultra refined large sessions. To see additional examples of her ultra refined results, visit the “Results Posted by Leading Hair Restoration Clinics” forum.

Given Dr. Kulahci’s dedication to providing her patients with only the best results and the public and private support we received from patients and other leading hair transplant surgeons regarding her inclusion, we’d like to congratulate her on becoming our newest member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. You can view Dr. Kulahci’s Coalition profile by clicking here.

A special thanks to everyone who provided their valuable feedback regarding the potential Coalition membership for Dr. Kulahci. Feel free to congratulate her by visiting her featured potential coalition membership thread above.

This question, from a member of our Hair Restoration Social Community and Discussion Forums, was answered by Jotronic – a senior member and consultant for Coalition hair transplant surgeons Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong:

I’m looking to undergo hair transplant surgery, but can’t spend much time traveling to the office where I would like to undergo a consultation. I’m wondering, are online hair transplant surgery consultations a viable option for me? Are these safe, and can the hair restoration physician really tell if I’m a good candidate by reviewing my case online (virtually)?

Virtual or online consultations can indeed be a very good resource and of course save you the time and money from flying around the world visiting doctors and clinics. However, you have to realize that the assessment by the hair transplant surgeon is only as good as the photos you send to him/her.

In order to get an assessment that is as accurate as possible you absolutely, positively must take photos that are clear and focused. You’d be surprised how many pictures I’ve seen where the submitted photos look like a bad action shot. The blur can be unbelievable!
