Questions about traveling

Approximately 70% of our hair transplant patients travel to our offices from throughout the US and the world for their hair restoration procedures. In fact, Dr. Epstein alone has performed procedures on patients from 49 of the 50 United States, and from over 40 countries, while the other FHRPS surgeons similarly have national and international practices. It requires a surgeon with a trained hand to create the most natural appearing result that mimics mother nature and is undetectable to even the most critical eye. To ensure delivery of these results to the Foundation for Hair Restoration patients, Dr. Epstein has extended its affiliation solely to those hand-selected surgeons throughout the country who are Diplomates of the Am Bd of Hair Rest Surgery and/or the American Bd of FPRS and/or the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and have proven themselves to be fully committed to perfection as Dr. Epstein.

Can hair be transplanted to the chest?
Posted March 08, 2010 8:05 AM

Absolutely. Typically a procedure of anywhere from a few hundred grafts to over 3,000 hair grafts can create chest hair or other body hair where there was not hair before. Of course, it is important that the surgeon create recipient sites typically in a cross patch pattern to provide the most deliberately irregular pattern of growth for the hairs. If the chest hair growth pattern is too regular, than there is a chance it will appear unnatural. It is important that the surgeon create a very irregular pattern of growth in order for the hairs to look the most natural. And again, it is important that any prospective patient request to see photographs of prior patients to see the results that have already been... continue

Can hair be transplanted to help conceal scars from prior plastic surgery?
Posted March 07, 2010 4:26 PM

Yes. Many of our patients choose Dr. Epstein for his experience in hair restoration but also as a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon to help conceal scars from prior plastic surgery procedures like face lift scars and brow lift scars that may have caused hair for both men and women to stop growing in the sideburns, the mid scalp or behind the ears. Hair can typically be grafted to those areas to help conceal the scarring. Posted by Jeffrey S. Epstein, MD, FACS... continue

Can hair be transplanted to help fill in or create a beard?
Posted March 07, 2010 10:31 AM

Yes. In almost all cases, Dr. Epstein is able to transplant hair from the scalp or sometimes other parts of the body to the face to help fill in or create facial hair for a patient where no facial hair existed before. However, the doctor does prefer to avoid transplanting to the "soul patch" or the area beneath the lower lip and centrally located toward the chin mount due to the risk of lumps forming in that particular area as it is a very sensitive area of the face.

What is platelet-rich plasma?
Posted March 06, 2010 5:11 PM

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is an injectable treatment that has recently been used to treat hair loss, as well as being used in conjunction with a hair transplant procedure. For almost eight months, Dr. Epstein has been using platelet-rich plasma or PRP in conjunction with a hair transplant in a few different ways, including injecting the PRP or the platelet-rich plasma into the donor site incision before suturing and furthermore injecting it with small injections throughout the scalp to help aid in the healing, recovery and hopefully the yield of the transplanted follicles. Platelet-rich plasma is a procedure in which we remove or draw a bit of the patient's own blood, place the blood into a centrifuge and... continue
