Total Follicular Group Transplantation
Small natural clusters of hair growing in discrete groups are dissected and transferred to the top and back of the scalp. This procedure is done under total microscopic dissection with fiber optic backlighting and top lighting with the most advanced microscopes available. The recipient sites are very small because they must accommodate only the necessary support tissue for a a few hairs.

Scalp Reduction Surgery
Removal of bald surface area with care taken to minimize stretch back through the employment of deep plane fixation sutures.  This procedure is not for everyone.  You must have home run hair characteristics that can only be determined at the time of your consultation.  This procedure is only for those wishing for the maximal degree of coverage.  You must also accept the potential pitfalls of this procedure, which include more pain, a scar in the visible bald scalp, risk of some stretch back over time, and a possibility that you would prefer not to have the procedure.  You should weigh all the benefits and risks prior to having this procedure done.  It is an excellent addition to grafting alone in the correct candidate.  IN ALMOST ALL CASES WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROCEDURE AND ACTUALLY DISCOURAGE PATIENTS FROM ELECTING THIS SOLUTION TO THEIR HAIR LOSS.
