Informative consultation - positive I have found the perfect surgeon

I had a consultation with Dr. Williams, he was very informative and patient with all my questions. I learned so much about the artistry he utilizes in order to get a natural looking hair transplant. As a female this was extremely important to me, I do not want a man's hairline. I am positive I have found the perfect surgeon to get me the results I am hoping for.

Remarkable doctor

In my search for an extremely competent and compassionate hair transplant surgeon I found Dr. Williams. I met with Dr. Williams to discuss my desire to have transplant surgery to address my thinning hair and bald areas. Dr. William took the time to discuss my aspirations and the realistic outcome that I could receive with the donor hair that I had. We discussed the FUT and FUE procedures. With...

I Had a Very Informative Meeting

My visit was comfortable as Dr. williams put me at ease from the very beginning. He explained the various procedures and which one would be right for me. He was also conscious regarding my budget. I was very happy and satisfied with all the information I received and have already recommended him to a friend.

Postive Experience with a Great Physician.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Williams. I went into my consultation appointment wanting to know how much FUE hair transplant would cost. After a thorough examination, Dr. Williams spent a good amount of time explaining the pros and cons of both FUE and FUT hair transplant. In the end, he provided me an alternative non-invasive procedure that would cost way less than hair transplant. Dr...

Excellent Doctor and great staff

The doctor and the staff are amazing. This is the most approachable and communicative doctor that I have ever met. He gave me his personal cell number, and I have been able to communicate with him at anytime including weekends and holidays. Now I am looking forward to see the new hair grow soon. The facility is great and very clean.

10 Q&A

Q: What type of alopecia is this? AGA? Areata? (Photo)
Answered by Dr. WilliamsAugust 5, 2022

A: In situations like yours, I would refer to a Dermatologist for a scalp biopsy to know for sure. Alopecia aerate is managed medically & will almost always fail to grow hair with a transplant. It is an autoimmune disorder where AGA is genetic & response well to transplant.

Q: Dermatologist vs trichologist vs specialist - understanding who to believe about whether hair loss is TE or AGA?
Answered by Dr. WilliamsAugust 5, 2022

A: Typically, a Dermatologist with a scalp biopsy is what I would trust. After all, skin is an organ all to itself & a dermatologist is a specialist in skin (of which hair is an appendage of skin.) There is the possibility of a patient having both at the same time, however, with my patience, I explain that TE
(telogen effluvium) will typically resolve over time, but AGA (androgenic alopecia) usually worsens with time, as it is a progressive disease. The dermatologist will assist the patient on treatment of both.

Q: How soon after transplant can I use silicone gel for scarring?
Answered by Dr. WilliamsAugust 5, 2022

A: My patients are not encouraged to use scar creams, but I have no problem if it is utilized once the incision is healed in 3 or 4 weeks. I would encourage applying horizontally if placing on an FUT (linear scar) to avoid potential stretch back if applying vertically. If FUE scars, it should not make a difference how the scar cream is applied.

Q: 8 months post FUT. Do I need a revision? Will there be realistic improvement if I wait another 10 months? (Photo)
Answered by Dr. WilliamsAugust 5, 2022

A: One of the most difficult parts of hair restoration procedures is waiting for a satisfactory growth to finally occur. The comparison of "watching grass grow" is similar. My patients are no different & the result at 8 months is disappointing to most patients. I use a magnification scope to reassure my patients. With a 50 power lens, I can show my patients what is similar to a garden just starting to grow with the little seedings barely at the surface. It's similar with a great number of the hair follicles.
I ask my patients not to worry & realize that it takes more time to improve.
Typically, the vast number of patients are feeling much happier at 12 months. Your pictures are about where most patients are at 8 months growth.

Q: 29 years old: when is the best time to a get hair transplant?
Answered by Dr. WilliamsJuly 14, 2022

A: Hi shanug92, thank you for your question. There is no way to determine the level of hair loss you will have in the years to come, so ultimately this decision is up to you. Since Finasteride isn't an option for you, when used properly Low Level Laser Therapy can help the native hair from falling out sooner. Ultimately, if your receding hairline is troubling you then you should proceed to have the hairline rebuilt knowing that in the future you may need to have additional work done.
