Welcome to the Foundation for Hair Restoration's BLOG. As Founder and Director of the Foundation for Hair Restoration, and one of the top hair transplant surgeons, I feel a responsibility to educate those experiencing hair loss on the common sense, intelligent approach to surgical hair restoration. After more than 14 years of specializing exclusively in surgical hair restoration, my track record of having literally thousands and thousands of happy patients speaks for itself.
As an American Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and American Board Hair Restoration Surgeon, I attempt to apply aesthetic plastic surgery principles to surgical hair restoration, allowing for the most aesthetic, natural appearing results. All of the other Foundation for Hair Restoration Surgeons are also highly skilled and trained to achieve similar results. And with the microscopic technique of follicular unit grafting, for the first time, it is in fact possible to attain restorations that, even with the hair cut short, look completely natural.
I am proud of the top notch devoted doctors, technicians and staff affiliated with The Foundation for Hair Restoration. We are pleased to invite all of our visitors to learn from the questions of others who find themselves with a similar concern: hair thinning or loss issues and other hair related concerns.

Scalp Sensation Post Procedure and Chosing the Right Hair Transplant Surgeon
Posted January 03, 2010 4:11 PM in A Procedure Step by Step
I want to first start out by saying how I appreciate blogs like this on this website. To take this further, I've recently made one of the worst decisions ever by having a hair procedure done in one of those hair transplant franchise companies (in California). The biggest problem has been their lack of customer service and communication. I am very disappointed by the lack of care they would provide. I had the procedure done 2 months ago and I still feel confused with many of the processes that have happened and what to expect in the near future. I am in no way affiliated with these doctors here but already, I highly recommend them. As proof from the blogs and other actions, they seem to be more concerned and helpful to the patients, which I find highly valuable during the recovery of the procedure. I'm thankful there are good doctors like these around
As I'm currently lost in many things about my recent procedure, one of the things that have gotten me nervous is this sensation I feel on my scalp. I've been going through some shock loss, particularly in the frontal part of the scalp. Sometimes, whenever I move that particular frontal area of the scalp (such as, when I yawn or look up) I would feel this tightness. Actually, it feels like I'm being poked by those grafts that are placed. My hunch is that this sensation is felt because the grafts have been densely packed and my scalp is just recovering from all those grafts being placed in there. I hope this symptom is normal and will go away soon. Is anyone aware of this?

Can You Have a Hair Transplant While Taking Doxil?
Posted November 10, 2009 11:25 AM in A Procedure Step by Step
Suffering from male pattern baldness and chemo for breast CA is a little hard to take. Since the doctors say I'll be around long time I'd just as soon do it with hair.
I'll be on Doxil long-term. Infusion is once every four weeks. Drug supposedly stays in the body for three weeks. So, 1) is it possible to have hair restoration surgery during the week the Doxil is supposed to be out of my system; or, 2) if there was a break in treatment, how long a period would be required for surgery to take place, given recovery times.
My oncologist is totally unfamiliar with hair transplantation, he's still in the old "plug" days.
Thank you.

Posted October 21, 2009 6:36 PM in A Procedure Step by Step
I am trying to schedule a hair transplant during my vacation time toward the end of the year and I was wondering how long after the hair transplant do I have to wait to go out in the sun without my head being covered? Would it be more than two weeks?

Regrowth of Hair After a Procedure: If they are Shaved or Fall out Due to Shock Loss
Posted September 07, 2009 11:22 AM in A Procedure Step by Step
I have a fair amount of hair on top about 40-50 hairs per sq inch, and thinking about getting 5000 grafts over the whole top to thicken it. I am wondering will my old hair on top grow back at the same rate as before in from day one so that after about a month will I look the same as before the transplant or will I be bald on top until new hair comes in at about 4 months?

Do the Transplanted Hairs Turn Gray if the Donor Hairs are Brown When Transplanted?
Posted September 07, 2009 11:22 AM in A Procedure Step by Step
My hair at the front is mostly gray. My hair at the sides and back is mostly brown. Since my donor area is mostly brown, will my transplanted hair stay brown? Has anyone experienced with using Just For Men? I've toyed with the idea of using it modestly as it says you can keep some or even most of your gray. I'd like to keep some, but blend in some color.
