No, a transplant will not prevent further loss.  We consider this when planning a surgery.  You can decrease the rate at which you lose hair by taking adjunctive medical surgery, which may include other hair loss prevention products.

We work very hard to meet the needs of our patients. However, there are some patients that may have unrealistic goals or do not fully understand how a transplant is going to look once it grows in. I have over 16 yrs of experience designing hairlines that look natural according to age, race, and gender. More importantly, I understand how they will look once they have grown in. I enjoy working with our hair loss patients on the custom surgical plan, but if a patient insists on something that I believe would be cosmetically inappropriate, then I have the right not to perform the procedure.

Dr. Ziering is never satisfied with the status quo.  Microscopic Follicular Unit Grafting, the Ziering Scope, Ziering Blades, the Ziering Whorl and the Ziering Tunnel Technique are examples of real advancements enjoyed by Ziering Patients.  Our staff is comprised of experienced professionals who exceed industry standards and to your advantage; the Tech Team that specializes in your hair type is assigned to your case.  At Ziering Medical, personalized, attentive care starts with your consultation which includes time with Dr. Ziering.  He will perform your hair restoration and be involved with your procedure from start to finish.  In addition to traditional hair transplants, we specialize in facial hair aesthetics such as eyebrows and mustaches and repair procedures to camouflage scars from “old plugs”, burns, trauma and other cosmetic procedures. At Ziering Medical, our practice is dedicated exclusively to hair restoration; it’s our specialty and our passion.

You can’t rush perfection, however in one day 3-4000 grafts can be transplanted from hairline to crown.  Everyone is different but on average the new hair will begin to grow at the third or fourth month following surgery.  A postoperative evaluation is scheduled at five months to evaluate early growth.  Patients experience most of their aesthetic change between six and twelve months (fifteen for women) as the individual hair shafts thicken to a fully mature state. 

Yes, hair transplants are the not the “plugs” of yesterday.  Microscopic Follicular Unit Grafting has reached new heights of artistic and scientific perfection.  One of the best compliments that I receive is, “my work goes unnoticed”.  After surgery, hair grows in gradually and naturally as if reverting back to the time before you experienced hair loss.
