Where Have All the Men With 'Hair Plugs' Gone?

Corrective Hair Transplants, New Techniques Restore Natural Hairlines to Dissatisfied Patients

- - - -

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Fisher Hair Center today issued the following:

You rarely see men with hair plugs anymore ... those unsightly early attempts at hair transplants that resulted in the dreaded "doll hair" or "corn row" look. It's likely that men with hair plugs are wearing toupees or hats to cover their unnatural hairlines.

Thankfully, today's hair transplants have evolved to the point that an ideal transplant is an undetectable transplant. While this is clearly great news for first-time hair transplant patients, it also can be great news for former patients who could benefit from corrective surgery.

Male pattern baldness affects an estimated 35 million men in the United States. That's one in four men! Of this 35 million, hundreds of thousands have undergone hair transplantation surgery only to be left dissatisfied.

Corrective hair transplantation surgery -- performed by the right plastic surgeon -- can provide once dissatisfied patients with natural-looking, permanent hair. This is achieved through the removal of scar tissue and "plugs" from previous procedures and, then, the skillful placement of varied numbers of mini- and micro-grafts, which contain between one and four hairs each. No recoverable existing hair grafts are wasted in corrective procedures. Removed plugs are divided and "recycled" back into the scalp to assist in the creation of a new, natural hairline.

Jack Fisher, M.D., medical director of Fisher Hair Center based in Nashville, Tenn., is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in corrective hair transplant surgery. According to Fisher, the key to a successful corrective procedure is finding a surgeon who is experienced in not only hair transplantation, but also corrective hair transplantation.

"Corrective surgery can be more difficult and time-consuming than traditional transplant surgery," he says. "For this reason, it's extremely important that a person look for a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in corrective surgery. Never hesitate to ask how many procedures he or she has performed during his or her career, or to ask for before and after photos of corrective procedures. Also, always ask for patient references."
