Hair Restoration Surgery In Asians

This book, exclusively devoted to Asian hair, is a complete and comprehensive text written by a group of authors sharing their experience in their specialized fields of hair restoration. Included are many practical tips as well as chapters on regional transplantation such as eyebrows, eyelashes, sideburns, beards, and mustaches, in addition to the usual scalp hair restoration. With its many illustrations, the book gives readers a complete knowledge of hair restoration surgery and provides a quick, easy-to-use reference on Asian hair and the differences in patients' demands. With an influx of new physicians in this challenging field of medicine, further education and training are imperative and must be available to provide a high standard of medical practice. This compilation meets that objective and ultimately makes the valuable contribution of restoring patients' self-confidence.

Hair Transplant 360 is conceived as an entirely new project idea in which the physicians and the assistants have each been afforded an equally, authoritative voice. Volume 1 is written by a physician for physicians. Understanding when it is safe and beneficial to operate and when to forgo the procedure (medical hair loss conditions, the dilemma of the young patient, scarring alopecia, etc.). Understanding male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. Medical management of hair loss. Hairline design (principles, artistic, ethnic and gender variations; step-by-step technique). Donor harvesting (determining area for harvest, understanding and using different harvest techniques, when to perform a trichophytic closure; step-by-step technique). Recipient-site creation (basic principles: angles and distribution; regional considerations: hairline, female hairline, central forelock, midscalp, temple, lateral hump and crown; step-by-step technique for both single follicular-unit grafting and multiple follicular-unit grafting). Postoperative care, identifying and managing complications. Creating standardized hair-transplant photography. Leadership, office management and marketing. Quality control algorithm for the physician. Case studies, emphasizing creative approach to hair restoration.

While every facial plastic surgeon is trained in hair restoration, unless one does it frequently in practice, there are techniques, tips, and approaches to be learned from experts in this field who focus solely on hair transplantation and restoration. Techniques, Complications, Medical Treatment, and Medical Diagnosis are covered for Donor Harvesting and Management of the Donor Site; Hairline Design and Frontal Hairline Restoration; Management of Advanced Hair Loss Patterns; Repair of the Unsuccessful Hair Restoration; Tissue Expansion for Scalp Reconstruction; Imposters of Andogenetic Alopecia: Diagnostic Pearls for the Hair Restoration Surgeon; and more. This clinically focused information is intended for the facial plastic surgeon whose practice is not a majority of hair restoration and for surgeons who might want to grow their hair practice. Editors Raymond Konior and Steven Gabel lead this review in Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics. When asked why hair transplantation and restoration is of compelling interest, Dr Konior explains that he decided to limit his practice solely to hair restoration because it is a life altering procedure for patients: “People cannot believe the outcome - they come to me post-restoration and are so happy with their new appearance, telling me how much their lives are changed. Whether for job or career or personal reasons, this procedure has a positive outcome for them.
