Facial Aesthetic Hair Transplantation By Bernard Arocha, MD on March 17, 2015

Modern hair transplantation specialists can offer comprehensive hair restoration services. That is, the qualified hair restoration specialist is not limited to treating the typical pattern hair loss patient, but can offer alternative hair transplantation that includes Facial Aesthetic Hair Transplantation. Facial Aesthetic Hair Transplantation includes the reconstruction or restoration of eyebrows, eyelashes, temporal peaks, sideburns, moustache and beard.

One of the advances that make this all possible is the use of the binocular microscope to create one and two hair follicular unit grafts. These single and two hair follicles are the building blocks that permit the creation of very natural appearing transplanted hairs that show no visible scars. Thus, this permits the creation of hair artwork. Armed with these follicular units we can employ very small blades to create sites. These sites can be placed very close together, allowing the creation of hair density with only one pass. We can control the angle of the sites created. We employ very acute angling in the creation of eyebrows, temporal peaks, and facial hair, so the transplanted hair lies down.

Immediate improvement in the reconstructed eyebrow obtained one week after the procedure by leaving the hair long in the transplanted follicular units. Note that the surface epithelium of the follicular unit grafts is now flaking off.

The advances in modern hair restoration surgery are forging the advancement of hair artwork; hence we can embellish and rejuvenate our patients with suitable improvements to their faces that include eyebrows, eyelashes, temporal peaks and facial hair. Not only are the improvements groundbreaking, they are also very timely.
