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?
Answer: Hair Transplant Dear LB22Thanks for the question. If it would do, so everybody should have hair loss. Nowadays everybody has a TV or smartphone. The answer is "no" it does not effect your hair transplantation. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Hair transplant as well as SMP may be an option after brain surgery and radiation treatment. Hair transplant as well as SMP may be an option after brain surgery and radiation treatment. It would of course depend on your exam. The combination of SMP and Hair Transplant surgery can give you the look of fullness. The VIDEO shows women with SMP an Hair Transplants but men benefit as well.

Answer: Hair Transplant after Radiation Cancer Treatment
The sudden loss of growing hairs as a result of chemicals or radiation is known as Anagen effluvium. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy halt the growth phase of hair follicles, and result in the sudden shedding of hair. Hair Restoration Surgery can work in burn (radiation) sites very well. My colleague and New York Hair restoration expert Dr. Gary Hitzig has performed several cases that have been successful. We generally do an evaluation and a test session first to determine the best possible treatment for hair loss. Also, you may be a candidate for ACell treatments, pioneered by Dr. Hitzig, which has amazing resulted in rescuing dying hairs, duplicating transplanted hairs and preventing further hair loss.

Answer: Hair Transplant after Radiation
Yes, hair transplant can be a very natural option in a patient after radiation. The one issue is potential scarring in the area may inhibit the blood supply of the new hair. Your surgeon should be able to address this issue in your particular situation and counsel you on options. Good luck!

Answer: Hair Transplant after Radiation
Yes, in fact, this is an indication for performing a hair transplant.
Because of the challenges in assuring full hair regrowth, I suggest you
seek out a highly experienced surgeon in this area. I usually recommend
that patients wait a minimum of 18 months following the completion of
the radiation therapy.
