DT: Hair transplants. I know that's a complicated procedure. And Dr. Max [Gomez] was talking about the art of it, too, when you're finding someone. Tell me a little bit more... RB: The main thing in hair transplants is really to determine who is a good candidate. And the interesting thing is that because of the pattern of [hair loss] in men, men usually have a very permanent area on the back and sides of the scalp. So when you move that to the front and top, it will continue to grow. Because women's hair loss is more diffuse, the back and sides are not always stable. So, when you're trying to decide if a woman is a good candidate, you have to make sure that the hair, where you get it from, is going to last their lifetime. And only a small percentage of women are really good candidates for that transplant.Related Posts:
