Aging, hormonal changes, and genetics can all contribute to hair loss. In addition, hair loss can also be caused by burns, trauma, or illness. While hair loss is often blamed on poor scalp circulation, specific vitamin deficiencies, dandruff, and even wearing a hat frequently, none of these assumptions are accurate.

Both men and women can suffer from hair loss resulting in a lack of confidence. Hair replacement surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence. During your initial consultation with Dr. Gonzalez, you will be able to determine if a hair transplant procedure is right for you.

Procedure

Hair replacement surgery is usually performed under a local anaesthetic in an outpatient surgery center. Most patients do not need to stay in the hospital following a hair transplant. Grafts and flaps are extracted from donor areas that are usually found on the sides and back of the head. Frequently, two or more surgical techniques are used to create optimal results.

Transplant procedures, such as punch grafts, mini-grafts, micro-grafts, slit grafts, and strip grafts can all be performed by Dr. Gonzalez. In addition, flaps, tissue-expansion and scalp-reduction procedures may be appropriate for patients who desire a drastic change, or have a limited donor area. The best hair transplant procedure for you will be discussed during your initial consultation.

Benefits

While the results of a hair transplant may take a few months to surface, this surgical procedure drastically changes the way that patients look and feel. Self confidence and youthfulness are the two results that most patients experience right away.
