Hollywood Hair Transplant

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

My patients and readers of this blog often ask me about celebrities’ hair loss and hair restoration.  Living in Los Angeles and being engaged with Hollywood people, celebrity hair transplantation is not an unusual question.  Of course, I won’t be able to reveal the name of the people who had a hair transplant with us or anywhere else, unless they allow us to do so in advance.  However gossip never sleeps in the world of Hollywood and whether people have had hair transplantation or not is one of them.

If you search the internet you may find the name of a few celebrities rumored to of had a hair transplant or hair restoration.  You can find several male celebrities whom their hair systems could be recognized.  Although wigs and hair systems have become very realistic these days, high resolution photography can reveal them at times.  Many known celebrities had old technique hair transplants that used to be detectable and easy to distinguish. That is why they are bound to a certain hair style to cover their unnatural hairline.  Many others have the problem fixed by doing a repair hair transplant using the follicular unit transplant.  The good news is that many patients with unnatural hair line from old hair transplants could improve their appearance if their donor hair was not violated with old techniques of hair restoration or plug surgeries.

When it comes to hair transplant, California and, in particular, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and Hollywood seem to be the most concentrated areas in terms of the number of hair transplant surgeons.  Maintaining a good look in Hollywood is not only important, but it could be life changing for anyone especially if you are one who is constantly followed by reporters and Paparazzi.
