Review my post FUE hair transplant thus far, 6/7 months post-op (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. Generally, at the 6-7 month mark after a hair transplant you should see about 50% of the full results and growth. I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon and asking them what they think of your progress. In my professional opinion you should wait until at least the 1 year mark to really assess your results, however based on my experience it does appear like it may be lacking in density. Regarding PRP, usually PRP treatments need to be continued in order to be effective. Hope this was helpful, if you have further questions feel free to reach out to my office at (949) 374-2563

How to remove beard transplant? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for sharing your circumstances. in my professional opinion your photos suggest that you may have had a less than ideal past surgery. Usually, elevated follicles or cobblestoning as you stated should not be seen following a beard transplant surgery that is done correctly. Typically, this results from using an incorrect approach on a number of different steps throughout the procedure. I would suggest looking for doctors that have corrected poor hair transplant outcomes by consulting organization like the ISHRS and IAHRS.

Is it possible to have a beard to scalp transplant 3 months after FUE rather than waiting a year?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. From my professional experience, usually when a patient needs multiple transplants I have them wait about 4 months in between surgeries if we are addressing different areas. For example the first surgery is the front, and the second surgery is the crown area. If we are covering the same area to add more density then I advise patients to wait about a year. This is because in my professional opinion, the grafts need to grow and full results need to be achieved to see what areas are still sparse and which areas are too dense to safely implant more hair into. Generally it is not advisable to try and put hair on top of hair because you can damage the existing hair. Hope this was helpful, if you have any further questions please contact my office at 949.374.2563

Do I have scarring alopecia? If so, can I get a hair transplant? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. To determine whether you have scarring alopecia we would need to know more information regarding your hair loss, and it may be strongly recommended that you get a scalp biopsy done. Based on the results it can then be determined whether or not you are a surgical candidate. Generally, if a patient at my practice is diagnosed with scarring alopecia I do not recommend surgery due to numerous factors. In patients with scarring alopecia a hair transplant has a very high chance of worsening the condition, it is also possible that the transplant may be unsuccessful. If you are in fact diagnosed with scarring alopecia I recommend you seek out a doctor who specializes in hair and hair loss to help manage the condition and discuss your treatment options. Hope this was helpful. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out at (949) 374-2563 or email info@modenahair.com

Is this normal after a hair transplant? 10 months post op and noticed my recipient area looks like it has peaks & valleys.

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thanks for sharing your questions. In my professional opinion this is a complication known as cobblestoning which generally happens when a hair transplant is done using improper techniques throughout the procedure. To answer your question, yes, this is something you should be concerned about and discuss with your surgeon. Attached is a video that discusses cobblestoning to help give you some more information, if you have further questions feel free to contact our office at (949) 374-2563.

Can a hair transplant be revised to add more grafts 6 months after previous procedure?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. Generally if you are having a hair transplant in the same area it is usually recommended to wait for full results which happens at 12-18 months post procedure. Based on my experience this is to allow the grafts to grow fully, from that point you can see if another procedure is necessary. I also will add that in my opinion doing multiple small surgeries is not always the best approach, it may be worth while to get a second opinion. If you have any further questions feel free to email our clinic at info@modenahair.com.

Can PRP replace minoxidil & finasteride? What should I expect?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. While there are many clinics and med spas now offering tons of different PRP treatments it doesn't necessarily mean they all know what they are doing especially for hair. Keep in mind that PRP is not a standardized procedure, this means that it can be prepared and administered basically in any way. Generally, when a medical professional who knows what they are doing is performing PRP treatments for hair you can usually expect to see a decrease in shedding, reversal of miniaturizing and thinning follicles, and an overall improvement in your hair quality. Based on the results I see in my practice using minoxidil, finasteride, and PRP does yield better results depending on what stage of hair loss a patient is experiencing. It is also worth noting that these treatments all work in different ways, therefore I believe it is beneficial to continue using all three should it be necessary. Hope this was helpful. I have linked a video that can give you more insight about PRP, if you have any further questions feel free to contact my office at (949) 374-2563

35, 2 FUE to lower hairline, recommendations on how to fix bad hair transplant? (Photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thanks for sharing your situation. In my professional opinion based on your photos it appears you have had not so great previous surgeries. Generally, after a hair transplant procedure is performed correctly there should not be any raised follicles unless there has been a complication such as pitting or cobblestoning. This is usually due to improper technique throughout multiple steps of the procedure. I would recommend you search for surgeons who are experienced in fixing bad hair transplant procedures look at associations such as ISHRS and IAHRS. It also might be worth getting a scalp biopsy or at minimum see a physician who specializes in hair to treat the scalp itchiness, redness, and irritation you are still experiencing. Hope this information has helped, if you have any further questions please feel free to email us at info@modenahair. com or call (949) 374-2563. You can also take a look at a hairline repair surgery done by myself and team to learn more about the approach I take to help patients like yourself.

How can I fix a pluggy hair transplant? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. In my professional opinion I would not get SMP into the hairline, most likely it will just make your hairline stand out more. I would recommend consulting with reputable surgeons to see what they suggest. Generally, for patients such as you I would recommend another corrective procedure to mask the pluggy looking grafts with single hair grafts and implant them at the correct angles. If you decide to undergo another procedure I would advise that you make sure to consult with well experienced surgeons who are actually doing the procedure and involved in every aspect of the surgery. It is possible that you may need to use other donor areas as well since you mentioned that your donor zone is not in great shape. Hope this was helpful, if you need further help you can feel free to reach out to us at (949) 374-2563.

Concerned about donor area thinning post-transplant: seeking advice (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photo and the fact that you are 18 months post-procedure, I would say that your donor zone appears to be either slightly over harvested or a large punch size was used during the procedure, which may have resulted in more noticeable scarring leading to the thinned-out donor zone. In my opinion it is not excessively thin, but it is noticeable and if you were to have another procedure done in the same way it could become even thinner. Hope this information was helpful, please feel free to see my video showing a donor zone of one of my patients 6 months after an FUE procedure. If you have any further questions you can email info@modenahair.com

Life-Changing Hair Restoration Experience at Modena Hair Institute!

Dr. Yazdan at Modena Hair Transplant Institute was truly a lifesaver. I initially began my hair loss treatment at another clinic, but unfortunately they took the wrong approach which caused me to lose even more hair. After months of feeling devastated and unsure of what to do next, I found Dr. Yazdan on social media. I watched his videos, read his reviews, and after further research, I felt confident that he was the right doctor to consult. At my first consultation, I immediately felt comfortable and reassured. Dr. Yazdan explained my situation clearly. He recommended stopping the ineffective treatments I was previously doing and instead focusing on proven methods—applying topical minoxidil and starting PRP therapy. I began PRP treatments with him right away, and after my third session, I noticed significant new hair growth and a dramatic reduction in hair loss. Now, after my fourth PRP treatment, I’m thrilled to see even more progress. My hair is stronger, thicker, and I feel hopeful about regaining the hair I lost. The difference between Dr. Yazdan—a true specialist in hair restoration—and other clinics is undeniable. His expertise, attention to detail and personalized care make all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful to have found him and I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with hair loss. Beyond the excellent results, the staff at Modena Hair Transplant Institute is friendly, the office is spotless, and the overall experience has been exceptional. Dr. Yazdan delivers real results and I couldn’t be happier!

Hair Transplant Full Success!

Talk to Dr Yazdan. Hair transplant completed with full success! I searched online for years - seriously. I also considered international trips. After a couple of years stressing about my hair and doing Minoxidil and Finasteride and not getting the results I wanted - I had a consultation with Dr Yazdan and he simply presented the facts. He is a straight shooter and I believe he offers the best medical advice for anyone's situation. My new hair growth is better than I expected, and it's only been 6 months. Highly recommend - Thank you

PRP for Female Hair Loss

I initially reached out to Dr. Yazdan to explore PRP treatment options for what I thought was female pattern hair loss. In conjunction with treatments with my Dermatologist, I was diagnosed with stress-related hair loss, and I began PRP treatments at Modena Medical. 3 treatments, and in combination with oral Minoxidil I am experiencing significant hair regrowth! If you are thinking about doing something about your hair loss, reach out and make the call. Don't wait!

My hair looks completely natural

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Dr. Yazdan! Being only 25 and dealing with significant hair loss, I was skeptical and nervous about undergoing a hair transplant. After extensive research, I found that Dr. Yazdan is truly one of the few experts in the field. Unlike other practices where techs perform the entire procedure while the doctor is elsewhere, Dr. Yazdan personally performed my FUE hair transplant from start to finish. His attention to detail and skill are unmatched, and the results speak for themselves—my hair looks completely natural, and no one can tell I had anything done. The entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. Talk to him, he will give you honest advice and point you in the right direction

Fuller, Thicker Hair and Renewed Confidence

I have struggled with thin and sparse hair since my early teenage years, and I cannot express enough how much Dr. Yazdan has helped me! For the first time in years, I feel confident with my hair. I had tried countless treatments, shampoos, serums, and everything else out there with no noticeable success, and I used to rely on hair toppers and coverings. But now, thanks to Dr. Yazdan's treatments, my hair is much fuller and thicker. Every visit to his office is a positive experience. The staff is incredibly caring and accommodating, striving to make each session pleasant. Dr. Yazdan and his team went above and beyond to help me with my hair, and I have never been happier.

Repeat Patient

Dr. Yazdan has performed two hair transplants on me. For my first procedure, Dr. Yazdan filled in my genetically sparse temples and I was very pleased with the results. My hairdresser couldn’t even find where my FUT linear scar was. A few years later, I underwent a cosmetic surgery that left me with hair loss around the incisions. Although I did my due diligence and consulted with a few other doctors, I ultimately decided to return to Modena because I already knew that I would be taken great care of by Dr. Yazdan and his outstanding team. For my second procedure, Dr. Yazdan transplanted hair into my scalp scars which not only hid the incisions, but can also remodel the scar tissue to become softer and flatter. Because the survival rate of transplanting hair into scar tissue isn’t as high as that of normal tissue, Dr. Yazdan assured me he would go back in and fill any sparse areas later if necessary. Realistically, there are countless doctors who can give you more or less similar results but what made the difference for me is Dr. Yazdan’s OCD for perfection, dedication to excellence, amiable demeanor, and pre and post-op accessibility. Furthermore, everyone on his team from the receptionist to his nurses are kind, caring, and just on top of it.

Within a few months, I started seeing results

My experience with Dr Yazdan and his staff has been amazing. I went to Dr Yazdan for postpartum hair loss and he recommended PRP injections. Within a few months, I started seeing results. After a series of PRP injections, my hair has returned to normal. Dr Yazdan was very professional and knowledgeable. The office staff was extremely friendly and attentive. I would recommend anyone with hair loss to visit Dr. Yazdan.

Best decision - it was worth every penny

My entire family suffers from male pattern baldness, some going fully bald in their mid 20's. My hair has been thinning since I was in my 20's but through the use of minoxidil, I was able to slow the balding, but by 35, my hairline definitely did not look good. In deciding whether to do a hair transplant, I did A LOT of research, and eventually cut my list down to the 3 best hair transplant surgeons in Los Angeles and Orange Country. After meeting all 3, Dr. Yazdan was clearly the best option in terms of his experience, and his approach. I know hair transplants aren't cheap, but I can honestly say it was worth every penny. The procedure was painless, the staff was excellent before, during and after the procedure. I LOVE my hair now! I have the hair line I've always wanted, and would absolutely do it all over again. Thanks Dr. Yazdan!!!

FUE Hair Transplant

Extremely smooth and really improved hair

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Dr. Yazdan for 3 years now. When we started I was losing a significant amount of hair and feeling very self-conscious about my appearance. I received an FUE procedure from Dr. Yazdan that was extremely smooth and really improved hair. We then did PRP every other month for a couple years. Based on how well the first procedure went, I decided to do a 2nd one with Dr. Yazdan and this was very easy and smooth as well. I would definitely recommend working with him for all your hair needs! He will help you get your hair and confidence back!
