Hair Replacement and Hair Transplants
Hair replacement can be an emotional topic. At The Plastic Surgery Center in New Jersey and Manhattan, we know that hair loss can deeply affect a person's self-esteem. Many people, both men and women, who visit our practice inquiring about hair replacement procedures report feeling less attractive and self-confident as a result of losing their hair.
At The Plastic Surgery Center, we educate our patients seeking hair replacement procedures in the New Jersey and Manhattan area in order to dispel the many myths about the causes of hair loss. While poor scalp circulation, vitamin deficiencies, dandruff, even wearing hats excessively have all been blamed for hair loss, none of these myths is true. It is also untrue that you can determine future hair loss by looking at your maternal grandfather, or that if you haven't lost your hair by the time you are 40 you never will.
We tell potential hair replacement patients arriving at our New Jersey and Manhattan area practice the truth - that each individual hair follicle is pre-programmed at conception to either keep or lose its hair. And, we educate potential hair replacement patients on possible treatment plans and realistic results, letting them know that a hair transplant can be an important way of not only restoring a person's natural appearance, but also their sense of self-esteem. Then, we explain in detail the hair replacement procedure at our Manhattan and New Jersey practices where our surgeons replace "bad" follicles with "good," providing natural and usually permanent results.
 Candidates for Hair Replacement
When we consult with anyone considering hair replacement at the New Jersey and Manhattan locations of The Plastic Surgery Center, we make sure they understand that all techniques use existing hair. The goal of hair replacement surgery is to make the best use of your existing hair to produce natural-looking, permanent results. These hair replacement results can be impressive, but they may not necessarily match your ideal.
A good candidate for hair replacement at our New Jersey and Manhattan facilities has the following:
- Distinct areas of concern to be addressed with hair replacement treatment
- Sufficient hair on either the back or sides of the head to donate for the hair replacement procedure
- Realistic expectations about what is and what is not possible with hair replacement
If you are considering hair replacement surgery in the New Jersey or Manhattan area, it is important to think carefully about your goals and expectations and discuss these with our surgeons. Hair Transplants
We perform individual follicle hair transplants at the New Jersey Plastic Surgery Center using your own hair in an office setting under local anesthesia. Complete hair transplants can frequently be performed in one sitting. Most patients who undergo hair transplants are able to return to work the day following surgery and can comb their new hair within a few months.
During individual follicle hair transplants at our New Jersey office, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp from a donor site on your head. Those hair transplants or grafts are then divided under a microscope into individual follicles.
These follicles are then micro-implanted, one hair at a time, into small "pin holes" in the balding area. Hair transplants at our New Jersey practice entail up to 3,500 grafts that can be performed in a single session. While hair transplants require meticulous and time-consuming work, we believe the terrific, natural results we achieve are worth it.
We can complete the entire hair replacement process at our New Jersey facilities in a single day using local anesthesia. When you come in for your hair replacement procedure at the New Jersey office, we will rent your favorite movies for you to watch and provide you with lunch. If you think you might be a good candidate for hair replacement surgery, please contact the New Jersey or Manhattan office of The Plastic Surgery Center today to set up a consultation.
