jotronic — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 01:09:21 +0000

This patient came to see Dr. Wong after having 2000 grafts via FUE. According to the patient he was not happy with his density so he was hoping Dr. Wong could improve his situation in the hairline and temples as well as thicken his crown. Dr. Wong suggested that the temple points be reconstructed as well for a better balance for the patient’s profile. 4735 grafts were transplanted in one session. The result shown is only six months post-op so more improvement is expected.

jotronic — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:52:46 +0000

Most clinics will give their patients a list of medications and supplements that they should avoid before hair transplant surgery. The following drugs or supplements either contain ASA, or can cause undesirable side-effects during surgery, such as excessive bleeding or bruising. These drugs should be avoided 2 weeks prior to surgery. For pain relief, switch to Tylenol or other acetominophen products. As always, refer to your specific hair transplant clinic’s instructions before sug

Hair Transplant Recovery; Is this normal?

jotronic — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:40:42 +0000

Is flaking of the scalp normal after a hair transplant surgery? Well, yes but it depends on how long it has been since the surgery. If your scalp is flaking and you only recently had a hair transplant then it is very normal. The scalp tends to get dry after a procedure but more than that you can have continued flaking and even crusts develop long after the actual scabbing has subsided. This crusting is formed from a build up of edema. Edema is the yellowish fluid that builds up in the body after some sort of bruising trauma has occurred. Think of when you twist your knee and it swells up. This is from edema forming to insulate the area and protect it from further problems while it heals.

The same thing is happening in your scalp. After having thousands of tiny incisions made in your scalp the body starts to produce edema to protect itself. Some of this edema seeps out of the scalp, either through incisions or pores, and once it dries it creates a crusty by product. Sometimes this can completely cover the scalp and then when it cracks it can look like earthquake cracks in your scalp. What is even worse is that these cracks or rivulets as I call them are devoid of hair. Don’t worry, the grafts are still intact but the hair follicle was taken out when the crusties fell off. All is well and the area will fill in once the new hair begins to finally grow in four to six months.

Horrible 2010 Olympic Luge Video Death

jotronic — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:12:28 +0000

This has nothing to do with hair loss obviously but I just saw the video of Nodar Kumaritashvili, the luge competitor from Georgia (the country, not the state) and the horrible crash that ended his life. It will be difficult to find for yourself online and I will not link to the video through here but if you do view the video do so at your own risk. I think I can safely say that he most likely did not suffer much, if at all. I send my condolences to the family of Nodar Kumaritashvili and his 2010 Olympic luge teammates during this horrible time.
