Plastic Surgery for Hair Loss

Think about how you feel about your appearance. Would a thicker head of hair give you more confidence to accomplish what you wish to in life? If you are like many people, a fuller head of hair will drastically improve your self-esteem. Self-esteem is important. A feeling of self-confidence guides your behavior. A strong sense of self-esteem will affect everything that you do in life including business, and social scenarios.

A full head of hair is an important part of a confident and youthful appearance. Hair transplantation surgery can help restore self-esteem and confidence in your appearance and assist in the development of your true ‘best self.’ At Sound Plastic Surgery, we deliver this life-changing hair transplant procedure to our Seattle patients. A hair transplantation surgery can change your life.

For men (and women) with hair loss, the board-certified plastic surgeons at Sound Plastic Surgery can restore a youthful hairline and improve hair density for Seattle area patients using the latest follicular unit extraction NeoGraft hair transplantation technology.

What is NeoGraft® FUE hair transplantation?

Sound Plastic Surgery offers follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation surgery using the latest NeoGraft® technology. With NeoGraft® technology, our board-certified plastic surgeons are able to remove single hair follicles from the back of the scalp in a minimally invasive way. Thousands of hair grafts can be harvested with no visible scarring. The tiny, individual hair follicle grafts are then placed into the scalp treatment zones with needle-sized incisions.

The traditional ‘strip’ graft harvesting procedure is old technology that leaves a scar from ear to ear, along the back of the head. A long piece of hair-bearing scalp skin is removed. This ‘strip’ scalp is then chopped into smaller pieces providing the hair grafts. Using the old ‘strip’ harvesting technique, the resulting scar can be long and visible. With NeoGraft® hair transplantation, you can avoid the unsightly, long donor site scar on the back of the head that characterizes the old-fashioned ‘strip’ graft harvesting.

What is wrong with the old-fashioned ‘strip’ hair transplant procedure?

• Long scar from ear to ear
• Hair loss within the scar
• Prolonged numbness
• Scar often visible
• Slow recovery
• Activity restrictions
• Staples and sutures to be removed
• Old and outdated technology

At our Seattle hair transplant clinic, we think our patients deserve an effective and minimally invasive method for hair transplantation using the latest NeoGraft® technology.

How is NeoGraft® FUE hair transplantation surgery performed?

Hair transplantation surgery at Sound Plastic Surgery is performed in our surgical procedure room. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Our hair transplantation technique restores a youthful hairline using single, double, and multiple follicular grafts, which are harvested with a minimally invasive approach. Our patients can listen to music or watch a movie on an iPad for the duration of the procedure. The procedure takes between three to eight hours, depending on the number of grafts that are placed. Our dedicated hair restoration team is capable of doing 'mega graft' sessions of over 3000 hair grafts in a day, achieving a one-stage hair restoration that maximizes your time and recovery. If a 'mega graft' session is performed, you will have time for a lunch break and other breaks as needed.

The follicular unit grafting technique that we use at Sound Plastic Surgery has been shown to result in the most viable grafts compared to other hair transplant techniques.

Recovery after hair transplant surgery is very brief. Most patients can return to work within a few days of the procedure. It takes several months for grafted hair follicles to begin growing hair consistently.
