Male Hair Transplant
Are You Thinning?

 

Male Hair Transplant Chicago

Hair transplant surgery is a procedure that restores hair to areas of the scalp that are thinning or bald. While there are many techniques used by plastic surgeons to transplant hair, the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago uses NeoGraft, an innovative handheld device that harvests hair grafts individually from donor sites and transplants them to balding or thinning areas.

The procedure for hair transplant using NeoGraft is called follicular unit extraction, or FUE for short. It is minimally invasive, there is little to no discomfort during the procedure, and the results are natural-looking. There are no scars or skin grafts necessary using the NeoGraft.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY?

Baldness or thinning hair can happen to anyone, male or female, at any age. Regardless of gender, bald patches can negatively affect your self-esteem and confidence. If you have experienced hair loss and believe you may be a candidate for hair transplant surgery, schedule a consultation with the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago.

Ideal candidates for hair transplant surgery should have donor sites from which to extract transplant hair, typically on the sides or back of the scalp.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR CONSULTATION

When you schedule a consultation with the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, you will meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will discuss your aesthetic goals with you and perform an evaluation to see if you are a good candidate for hair transplant surgery using NeoGraft. Your plastic surgeon will review your options and recommend the best course of treatment for you.

HOW HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY IS PERFORMED

There are several methods that plastic surgeons may use to perform hair transplant surgery, some of which involve scalp reduction, tissue expansion, or taking skin grafts. The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago uses the NeoGraft FUE technique, which transplants hair follicles from donor sites one at a time into the affected area of the scalp.

First, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure. Using a thin, hollow needle, individual hair follicles are harvested from donor areas (like the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanted into the bald or thinning areas. Depending on the extent of the hair loss, the procedure can take anywhere from three to eight hours.

The results of a hair transplant using NeoGraft are immediately apparent. Since the hair comes from your own donor sites, results are natural-looking and the hairline remains intact. In some cases, repeat grafting sessions may be required in order to achieve the desired hair density.

RECOVERY AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY

Some swelling and bruising is typical after hair transplant surgery and usually fades within a week. There is no recovery period after a NeoGraft FUE procedure; patients can return to their normal level of activity.

Between nine months and one year after the hair transplant is performed, you should see visible growth in the transplanted hair.

POTENTIAL RISKS OF HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY

In any transplant procedure, there is always the potential risk that the newly grafted hair follicles will not take. Though it is infrequent, the possibility of additional hair transplant surgery exists.

WHAT DOES A HAIR TRANSPLANT COST?

The cost of hair transplant surgery will vary widely depending on your geographic location, the technique used, your plastic surgeon, and the extent of the transplant. You should speak with your plastic surgeon during your consultation about all associated costs before making the decision to undergo hair transplant surgery.

Happy for this patient and her transformation. This patient is transfemale who underwent facial feminization. Can you tell what surgeries were performed? Still have to perform the tracheal shave. Posted with permission.

6 month follow-up on a mastopexy augmentation case. The patient’s goals were to have her breasts lifted and the volume restored after pregnancy. No patient has perfectly symmetric breasts, which is normal. This case was challenging because of the asymmetries of the nipples; trying to lift, augment, and level the nipples all at the same time is difficult. Many variables to control but the post-operative photos demonstrate improved symmetry with all of the patient’s goals achieved. Posted with permission.

6 month follow-up on a challenging revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had 3 prior rhinoplasty surgeries by another surgeon and was not happy with the aesthetics of the dorsum or tip. In the pre-operative profile views, you can see a dorsal hump, under-projected tip, and abnormal alar-columellar relationship. On frontal view, there are asymmetries of the dorsal aesthetic lines and C-shape deviation of the nose. The goal of the surgery was to make the nose straighter, improve the dorsum and tip proportions, increase tip projection, and improve the alar-columellar relationship. Look closely at the post-operative profile views and how the tip, nostril and columella appear. Posted with permission.

Many ways to do a breast augmentation but the periareolar incision is a great option because the scar becomes imperceptible as the scar matures. This patient is 6 months out from a breast augmentation and the access incision we made was at the bottom border of the nipple areolar complex. It’s hard to see the scar at this point and the scar gets even better at the 12-18 month mark. Also, nipple sensation is unaffected after surgery. The other incisions that plastic surgeons use include an incision underneath the breast, at the breast fold, or the armpit. Each incision has their pros and cons but the periareolar is my preferred approach.

Challenging #gynecomastia case where the patient had grade 2/3 gynecomastia or male breasts with excess skin and significant asymmetries. The challenging part of this case relates to how to manage the excess skin and achieve a symmetric result. Do you remove the excess skin which will leave scars or try to contract the skin with minimally invasive techniques? In this case I performed liposuction, removed the breast tissue through a nipple incision, and performed #Renuvion to facilitate contraction of the skin. Posted with permission.

3 month follow-up on this patient who wanted improvement in the projection of her chin and definition of the jawline. The patient has retrogenia or a small chin and underwent #chinaugmentation with a #genioplasty. In the pre-operative photos, you can see the chin is short and recessed and therefore I moved the chin forward and down. In the post-operative photos you can see improvement in the projection of the chin, a more defined jawline and neck, and a more balanced lower 1/3 of the face. This case highlights the advantages of a genioplasty versus a chin implant, a chin implant cannot lengthen and advance the chin to the same extent that a genioplasty can. Posted with permission.

A 1 year follow-up on a patient who wanted a rhinoplasty to remove the dorsal hump and improve the aesthetics of her tip. In this case the dorsal hump was removed, the nose made straighter, the tip refined, and the tip rotated and projected more. Her new nose fits her face without overtly changing the ethnic features of her face. Posted with permission.

One year follow-up on a #BBL or Brazilian butt lift. As you can see from the post-operative photos, the fat that is transferred stays and is permanent. Posted with permission.

Male patient in his late 60’s who was able to turn back the clock after undergoing a #facelift, #neck lift, #blepharoplasty, and #fattransfer. Pay close attention to the “bags” underneath the eyes, the jawline, and neck. The scars have healed nicely and are inconspicuous even with short hair. In the post-operative photos, the patient has maintained his natural facial features and anatomy, but just looks like a more youthful version of himself. Posted with permission.
