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.
SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

This is a 3 month follow-up for an otoplasty or ear pinning procedure. The patient was bothered by how far his ears projected forward and how his ears were a major focus of his appearance. In the post-operative photos, the ears have been re-positioned in a more aesthetic and natural way. The patient’s facial features now become the focal point of his appearance and not the ears. A relatively simple yet powerful procedure. Posted with permission.

This is a 2 year follow-up revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had had 2 prior rhinoplasties in the past and was bothered by the nasal deviation, the dorsal hump, and the under-rotated and under-projected tip. In the post-operative views, you can see the nose is straighter, symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines have been established, the dorsal hump was removed, and the tip was elevated and rotated. It’s amazing how a more symmetric and proportional nose improves the balance and overall aesthetics of the face. Posted with permission.

This is a great example of how buccal fat removal changes the face. Buccal fat removal involves removing fat from the lower cheeks and the purpose is to narrow the lower 1/3 of the face. With removal of the buccal fat pad, the face appears less round and more angular or V-shaped. Buccal fat removal was popularized and trending during the pandemic, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates are younger patients in their 20-30’s with a rounder face, and excess volume of the lower cheeks. As we age, the face loses volume and therefore patients in their 40’s plus may not be good candidates. An article in our journal from 2021, The Role of Buccal Fat Pad in Facial Aesthetic Surgery, by Drs. Rohrich and Stuzin, highlighted that this procedure can be beneficial in certain patients but if over resected or performed in the wrong patient, can lead to premature aging and midface distortion.

How important is the chin in a rhinoplasty case? This patient’s results show how important the nose-chin relationship is for a balanced and proportional profile. This patient had a crooked nose, a prominent dorsal hump, and a very deficient chin. After straightening her nose, removing the dorsal hump, lifting and refining the tip, and performing a sliding genioplasty; look how much her profile has changed aesthetically for the better.

In facial feminization surgery, a common question we get is how do we contour the forehead and orbital rim. There are two main techniques that craniofacial surgeons utilize. A type 1 technique is where we use a burr or shaving device to shave and contour the bone to set it back or make it less prominent. To be a good candidate for this technique, one would have to have thick bone, a smaller frontal sinus, and less frontal bossing. A type 3 technique is where we use a saw to cut off the outer part of the frontal sinus bone, shave down the forehead and then replace the bone with titanium plates and screws. Good candidates for this procedure are patients with thin bone of the frontal sinus, a large frontal sinus and significant frontal bossing. We determine which technique would best achieve a patient’s goals through a clinical exam and a CT scan. Posted with permission. Videos are educational.
