Can General Anesthesia 6-8 Weeks After a Hair Transplant Influence Hair Growth? I'm planning a chin implant and liposuction. I believe it could be done in local anesthesia as well but I'd probably prefer general anesthesia. Now, could either of these influence the outcome of my hair transplant?

A: procedures 6-8 weeks after a hair transplant

It is extrememly unlikely that local or general anesthesia would have any deleterious effect on a recent hair transplant.

Can Hair Transplants Look Natural? What Areas Can Be Used as Donor Hair? Fine Hairs are needed at the sides of my forehead to make it appear that my forehead is less wide than it actually is. I prefer not to use the back of my scalp as the donor site. Are there any other candidates for this? Like maybe leg hair or even armpit hair?

A: Fine hairs for donors in the front of a hair transplant

The best hair, in my opinion, to use for the temple points are the hairs within the temple region harrvested in strips or by FUE. These hairs are ususally fine enough and, more imoortant, are the more likely to remain all your life compaired to finer hairs taken from low in the classical donor area that might become victims of retrograde balding. Body hair would be a poor choice to transplant to the areas you describe unless it has the same qualities as your native temple hair.

Can You Get Hair Restoration Surgery After Radiation Treatments? I have a bald spot on the crown of my head that was caused by radiation treatments that I received to cure my brain tumor. Its been a year and a half since I've received the radiation and my radiation doctor says that the hair is not going to grow back. Is hair restoration surgery a good option for me?

A: hair restoration after radiation therapy

I have many successful hair restoration procedures done on patients who lost hair from radiation therapy for brain tumors. My usual approach is to expand the adjacent scalp with a balloon expander for about 6 weeks and, then with a second procedure, move the stretched hair bearing skin over the bald area which is cut out. This gives a result immediately . Hair transplants could also work.
