Q:

About 18 years ago, I underwent a hair restoration procedure with primitive technology. Nowadays, I’m very reluctant to ever do such a thing again. Since I had the transplant, I’ve been wearing a hair piece, which I don’t really like to do. I wonder: is it possible for my hair to ever look the way it did in my twenties? And, also, what if I don’t have enough donor hair, can I still get a hair transplant? If I don’t have enough donor hair, body hair is possible, right?

Also, I’m an algebra teacher, anyway this can be afforded on a salary like mine?
Sincerely,

-

A:

I appreciate the email. Here are my answers to your questions, in chronological order.

1. Most of the time, it can be corrected. A lot of our patients actually have needed repair hair transplants. Their situation was very similar to yours in that they had plugs or micro-graft surgeries.
2. Whether your donor hair is sufficient, I dont’t know. I have to examine you for that. A good majority of people have enough hair to cover up a hair plug procedure. Some men have so much donor hair that they can even cover up other areas of hair loss.
3. It is plausible to use body hair, but it is much better to use head hair. If you’re in a situation in which you have virtually no scalp hair, and also high-quality body hair, you could be a good candidate for a body hair to head procedure.
4. I can’t tell you if your hair transplant surgery will be affordable right now. Only after I evaluate you. It will all be based on the number of grafts that you require. We offer discounted rates to qualified candidates on our standby program.
5. Make sure to attach photos of yourself and email them to me. The photos we need of your head are from the front, left and right sides, top and back. Make sure to also include a picture of the hair plugged areas of your head so I can take a better look at it.

After taking a look at your head shots, I’ll have a phone consultation with you and talk about the options that are open to you. It’s also a time where I can reply to all your questions.

Q:

I started the Propecia at the beginning of March (8 months ago), prior to the procedure last March. Should I still be on it?

A:

It is great to hear from you and I am glad you are happy with the result of your hair transplant. The final result of your hair may still get better up until one full year after your surgery if you allow your hair on the transplanted area to grow longer.

Finasteride as a hair loss medication was mostly prescribed for prevention of shock loss or losing native hair on the balding areas after a hair transplant. You have significant miniaturization on the front, top and crown area (90%-100%), which makes your preexisting hair on balding areas prone to further hair loss. Now that you had your transplanted hair grown, you can decide to stop Propecia. By doing that, you may risk losing your own hair on the balding area further (transplanted hair does not need Propecia for its growth) or you can continue taking the medication to increase the longevity of your preexisting hair on those areas.

Q:
Several weeks have passed since my hair transplant surgery. It has come to my attention that there’s a small bald spot near my left ear. As told, I was keeping that area clean the last few weeks, but no hair has grown back, it is still the same. I do not think it is getting larger. For some reason, the bald area is more sensitive to heat or cold temperatures. I was washing my hair today, and a scab fell off, but it was about the same size as the bald spot.

Another thing, I feel numb in the surrounding area of the bald spot. For me, I’ve never seen a bald spot in my donor wound until now. I’m wondering what I can do about it. I guess trauma leads to falling out of hair in donor wound areas as well. Just to let you know, I’ve been taking doses of finasteride daily, before, during the time I had surgery, and after surgery. Comparing to times past, I think I’ve taken pretty nice care of my head vs. the other times I had hair transplant surgeries, so I’m a bit concerned.

I wonder if the hair will ever grow back, as long as there isn’t a scar over it. My bald spot is about the size of a silver dollar; it looks quite noticeable. The bald spot has been overly sensitive the whole time after the surgery, but it wasn’t infected and there was no blood oozing out of it. I’m thinking that maybe the hair surrounding the wound fell off because of shock.

Your advice would be much appreciated,

A:
I appreciate the email.  You guessed right about the hair loss probably being caused by shock around the area of your donor wound. There must have been really tight close-up of the donor area. Maybe the hard close-up caused the shock loss. The two areas, on either side of the scalp, are very vulnerable to shock loss. Usually, when shock loss occurs, it happens on both sides. Shock loss occurring around a donor wound is, most of the time, reversible. It takes about six months for hair lost because of shock loss to grow back. It’s a slow, but certain process. Stay patient.

At this time, there is not a lot that can be done. But it is important that a doctor takes a look at your shock loss. Also, the feeling of numbness in the donor area will last up from a few weeks to months. The numbness is caused by inflaming of the healing area, this has an effect on the nerves in that area. It will heal on its own time.

Not too long ago, I attended a racial diversity conference. There was a middle-aged black man who came up to give a talk on the microphone. He posed a question to those in attendance, “What is the first thing that comes to mind when you look at me?” And then an audience member screamed out, “BALDIE!” People went into an uproar (his intent was to get someone to say “you are black”).

Even though what the person yelled out was supposed to be funny, it’s a sad reality that people in our society notice physical appearances before anything else when first encountering somebody. It’s important to remind hair loss sufferers that there’s no stigma attached to baldness. It’s not your fault. People know that. It’s in the genes.
For men (and women) suffering from hair loss, there’s a socially acceptable solution: A hair transplant. Hair transplants have vastly improved peoples lives, from big-screen actors like Jude Law to respected TV sports reporters like KCAL’s Steve Hartman. Hair restoration procedures enhance self-esteem, helps a person feel as if he can blend in more easily at parties and gatherings, and might better someone’s chances of landing that prestigious job or coffee date with a prospective spouse.

At US Hair Transplant, our hair restoration procedures are natural as we use your own hair for the transplant. Feel free to take a peek at our hair transplant before and after photo gallery. In certain respects, a hair transplant will give you back your lost youth and help you feel less self-conscious upon meeting others initially, which can make life a more pleasant experience. Check out one of our articles “Psychology of hair transplant” for more on the psychosocial changes that could be seen in men after hair transplantation.

Much like straightening your teeth by paying a visit to the orthodontist, or fixing your eyesight by going through a Lasik procedure, hair transplant surgery restoration is a fantastic option for people who think it may enhance their lives.

One day I was flipping through a publication and came across a case study in which there was found to be hair growing in a person’s mouth. The study was reported by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Earlier this year, a female subject was discovered to have, within her mouth, hair growth. It was the type of hair found in human nostrils. Researchers made the point that it was because of the excessive amounts of testosterone in her body. The condition is called oral hirsutism. Lots of diseases and health conditions can affect the body when there is too much testosterone circulating around. According to studies, the principal cause of hirsutism is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Some day in the next few decades, lab scientists studying hair follicle growth might be able to take advantage of testosterone to grow hair on men and women scalps, especially for those who are prime candidates for hair loss treatment.

This particular case study has been credited to F. Femiano, R. Rullo, R. Serpico, A. Lanza, V.M. Festa, and G. Laino. At the Second University of Naples, in Naples, Italy.

Hi, Dr. Mohebi:

Several weeks have passed since my hair restoration surgery. These days, when moving my neck, I feel some sort of tension and sensitivity at the donor area. I’m wondering if this tension will ever subside and return to how it was before. I want to get back to playing in my basketball league.

A:
We have elaborated comprehensively on the care after hair transplant surgery in our website that could be referred at. You need to wait several more weeks and then do light exercises such power walking, ride a bicycle, or some light jogging. Make sure to not overstretch that donor area by staring at the floor or the ground beneath you. As long as you don’t do that, you’ll be fine.

Make sure to stay away from the following sports or exercises: street basketball or indoor basketball, grappling or mixed martial arts, soccer, kickboxing, abs-sculpting activities, or windsurfing or water sports.
Remember not to put a lot of pressure on the donor part of the head. It must be guarded and protected as if your life depended on it (well, maybe it’s not that important, but it’s still crucial to protect that area).

Exercises that create high pressure at the ends of the scar wound in the donor area, such as pumping iron and other activities requiring a bent neck are to be avoided. I recommend waiting about five to seven months to do strenuous activities so as to keep the wound from opening again or to prevent the donor scar from becoming wider.

Thanks,
