I had a consultation for FUE hairline lowering. The procedure will be 1800 grafts, and the grafts will fill in areas where hair has recessed but also place grafts in areas where hair has never grown before. I was told that the grafts in the new areas may not grow, but I'm actually fine with that. I just want to be safe. The person performing this procedure been doing FUE successfully in Los Angeles >10 years. He has a beautiful office and good reviews, but he is a PA-- not a doctor. Is that OK?

Answer: FUE for lowering hairline A physician assistant is not an MD. In the rare case there is an emergency, caveat emptor. Look at before and after photos and ask to speak with a patient whose before and after photos are made available to you. Try to make a wise decision based on both reliability and economics.

Answer: Hair lowering Procedure I think that the most important factor in determining the best surgeon is one who understands the hair transplant process and also has an Aesthetic eye in creating a natural hairline. Too often we are correcting that in patients whom present to us for their second transplant. Moreover, your surgeon should be conservative and figure out the best way to treat you NOT based on the initial results you can achieve but based on what you may look like 5, 10 and 15 years from now. Your surgeon should have a plan that fits your needs based on your family history of recession and his experience in hair loss prevention. Additionally, as a correction: If the physician or technician removes the hair from the correct donor area, that hair graft will grow on any well vascularized, healthy scalp area. .
