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.

Forehead Reduction Procedure
Posted July 21, 2009 9:24 AM in Hairline Advancement
I am attaching two photos of myself, showing my forehead. I am interested in having the forehead reduction procedure because (as you can see from the pictures) my forehead is disproportionate from the rest of my face. I hope to reduce the sharp angles at the temples and lower the front hairline.
Background:
I am 33 years old. I have had 2 hair transplant procedures at the hairline (~3,000 grafts) to lower the hairline. I am about 10 months into my second hair transplant. I do not want to add anymore grafts to the hairline as I want to save them for future transplants at the crown if needed. So the hair at my hairline is all transplanted hair.
With the forehead reduction procedure, I want to achieve a more proportionate facial appearance when I have my hair combed up or parted -- And just not want my forehead to be the first thing people see when they meet me. And in all my pictures my forehead is always what sticks out the most!
I hope you can help me achieve this goal.
If possible please respond with an estimate as to how much this procedure would cost me. And dates for the procedure.
Thank you for your time. Much appreciated,
Andrew

Does this procedure work for women who do not have localized hairloss. My hair has always been thin.

Patient of asian ethnicity seeks hair transplant
Posted October 29, 2008 3:54 PM in Hairline Advancement
I will set up a consultation with when you will be in Tampa, but am now sending you my photos for evaluation. Please review them and send me your opinions. I am 27 years old and I would like to add grafts to my front hairline since it has been receding. I just want to look like people who are my age with hair. I think 2200-2500 grafts may be enough, but of course your opinion is highly appreciated. Being Asian, what are the special considerations?
I have read many forums and see your results and trust that you will do an amazing job, and tend to give patient extra grafts. I just choose 2500 graft because I see that other doctors use that much to achieve the look I was hoping to get, but I guess with your technique and expertise, less grafts will look like more. Thank you for your time.
