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.
Facial Hair Transplants and Medical Tax Write Offs
Posted December 28, 2009 1:34 PM in Body Hair Transplants
I was wondering if anyone would know that the money well spent on my beard transplant, and driving expenses would be considered a medical write off for my 2009 taxes? I really appreciate the input... I live in SC if that makes a difference.
Thanks, George

Chest Hair Transplant- Natural Appearing Results
Posted June 01, 2009 10:51 AM in Body Hair Transplants
Dear Dr. Epstein,
I'm considering a chest hair tansplant, but first I have a question to you.
Do clients sometimes complain, after an operation, that they are too hairy on that body part, in comparison with their legs and arms?
Thank you, and congratulations on your work.

Chest Hair Transplanted to the Scalp
Posted March 15, 2009 12:12 PM in Body Hair Transplants
Dear Dr Epstein
I would like to know if you offer hair transplant repair using chest hair. I have already had a sample of 100 chest hair grafts transplanted to the scalp and it has been growing well for 16 months now. The maximum length it reaches is about 3 inches and the color matches my scalp hair. I will be happy to send you pictures in due course but initially I would like to know if this is a procedure you offer and the cost.
Thanks
Kevin

Chest Hair Transplant- More Density - FUE
Posted March 15, 2009 12:02 PM in Body Hair Transplants
I had a prior chest transplant surgery of 2000 grafts. It was a really bad experience. My goals are:
1. Much more density
2. No spots or scars on my chest.
3. No curly transplanted hair (my chest hair is limp)
4. No gray hair transplanted
5. No incisions (a FUE procedure)
6. Abdomen hair/pubic hair as donor hair (crown/back head hair is thicker)
Please tell me: can you offer a solution according to my goals? How many grafts do I need? Thank you very much for your feedback.

Update on 4,000 grafts to the chest- most grafts are going to take!
Posted December 10, 2008 10:13 PM in Body Hair Transplants
I had ~4000 grafts to the chest mid-August '08 with no significant discomfort other than some itching about 1 week later as the grafts healed. The procedure itself was no big deal and virtually painless. Many of the hairs fell out after a few weeks but several stayed and the only noticeable change was a few small bumps here and there where the implanted grafts were placed. Some of the new hairs started growing in around 2 1/2 months and many more by 3. It's going on 4 months now and there's noticeable change in the overall appearance. Looks like most if not all of the grafts are going to take. My thanks to Dr. E and crew for an easy and almost pleasurable procedure. Updates to follow!
