This is another Turkey patient who was over-harvested. The amount of hair taken from the donor area exceeded what the donor density would support, a common problem when FUE grafts are pushed higher and higher. To make matters worse, the non-permanent zone was harvested as well, so many of the grafts that were harvested are not permanent and will eventually fall out if they grow at all. The only solution, a good one for the donor area scarring, is Scalp Micropigmentation, but it will not address the non-permanent hair that was transplanted.

Our office is closed today and tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families. We’ll be back on Monday!

My offices are closed Thursday and Friday this week to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families. Until we’re back on Monday, you have three options:

1. Use the search box in the top right to find hair loss articles of interest
2. Click here for a random blog entry
3. Just stare intently at this picture of a turkey dinner:

For those in the US — Happy Thanksgiving! For those elsewhere — hello!

We’re off for a long weekend, but we’ll be back first thing Monday, December 1st! Feel free to check out our new forum, BaldingForum.com, in the meantime (and don’t forget to create an account and post)!

This man worried through the entire growth phase of his new hair growth until one day he looked into the mirror and saw himself as shown here. I always tell patients that you can’t watch your hair grow like you can’t really watch the grass grow, yet one day you step back and see a green lawn when you planted the seeds correctly just like a good hair transplant that just appears perfectly normal. What is important to note is the hairline, which is not a line, but a subtle zone before the thicker hair from the transplant fills in behind this transition zone which is made of irregularly placed single hair grafts (about 400 in this man).
