Reviews of Lesser Known Hair Transplant Surgeons – Do They Produce Good Results?
Category: Hair Restoration Physicians , Hair Transplant Surgery , Selecting a Hair Restoration ClinicYour hair loss forum has some great information and discussions about leading surgeons like Hasson and Wong, Dr. Shapiro, Dr. Alexander, Dr. Rahal, Dr. Feller, etc. Are there other hair transplant surgeons getting first class results but maybe aren’t as well known or publicized?
Last year, the majority of surgeons recommended on the Hair Transplant Network were vastly unheard of and seldom spoken about on our community. And though some are still more popular than others, all of our members and hair loss forum guests can now see a much larger variety of results by visiting the “Results Posted by Leading Hair Transplant Clinics” forum.
Every prospective patient is drawn to some hair restoration doctors more than others. However, there is plenty of evidence in our community that a much larger group of doctors are doing excellent work.

Bleeding from the grafts 2.5 months after your hair restoration procedure is almost impossible. It is much more likely that you scratched a scab or a pimple-like lesion that caused the bleeding. It is around 2-3 months post-op that many patients experience folliculitis. This is a common condition that may be a sign that hairs are starting to grow, but curled at the surface and have become in grown. If at any point you are getting several of these lesions in the same area, you should contact the hair loss doctor who performed your surgery. Occasionally an antibiotic is necessary. More often than not, these problems are isolated and resolve themselves. 
For aging men and women, Botox has been a Godsend to help with wrinkles and help make them appear younger than they are. Recently, Fox News presented a story that Botox may actually be able to potentially stop and reverse hair loss.
Hair transplant patients are attracted to today’s surgical hair restoration because not only is it proven to grow hair in completely bald areas, but in the right surgical hands it can be so natural that even hairstylists can’t detect the result.
