1. If a client has already had a transplant with another doctor and is disappointed with the results, can the procedure be redone?

Yes, hair transplant repairs are a good portion of our operations performed in our Southern California offices (located in Beverly Hills, Encino and Orange County). Many people may have unnatural results from previous hair transplants due to the older techniques, but some even have problems with recent hair restoration due to technical issues or lack of proper judgment on the part of the hair transplant surgeon. In most cases, the repair is easy and can be done in one or two sessions.


2. Is there a minimum age for hair loss surgery?

Hair transplant surgeons used to say that 24 was the minimum age to perform a hair restoration procedure. However, nowadays microscopic techniques being used to evaluate the miniaturization of hair can assist surgeons in predicting the final pattern of hair loss. By being able to predict each patient' s final stages of hair loss, we are able to see where the pattern of baldness is heading and recommend hair transplant surgery at an earlier age.


3. Won' t my bare scalp be showing in the back of my head once the donor hair is taken?

If you do not plan on shaving your hair, your donor wound will never be visible. However, if you plan on shaving your head for any reason, you may need to have a FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction procedure done rather than the general FUT procedure. This method eliminates the visibility of a linear scar on the back of your head and is the best option for patients who plan on shaving their head or keeping their hair very short in the future.


4. Do you provide free consultations?

Yes, the initial consultation with Dr. Mohebi is always free in any of our three hair transplant offices in Beverly Hills, Encino and Orange County.


5. What type of information should be brought to the consultation?

Anything related to your hair loss and hair restoration, including medical, surgical or even cosmetic changes that you like and may help you have a better result after a hair restoration procedure.
