In this Dr.UGraft ™ Follicular Unit Extraction surgery, Dr. Umar used 2200 grafts to restore a balding crown and receding hairline. The goal of the surgery was to give the Hollywood, Los Angeles actor a more natural appearance to help him look his best and feel more confident about his appearance. Like most patients, Bernardo de Paula was looking for a long-term solution. This procedure ensured that the patient could achieve the growth he wanted. With less experienced doctors, there is the risk of the grafts not growing afterward. Using his world-class technologies and the shave test, Dr. Umar was able to reduce the risk of failed grafts.
In this celebrity hair restoration procedure, Dr. Umar extracted 2200 grafts from across the patient’s nape. He then individually inserted them to recreate the hairline, temples, and crown. Nape hair is great for recreating the soft edge and grows at sharp angles, making it ideal for the patient’s hairline edge. There’s a misconception that follicles will simply grow if they are transplanted. In actuality, if they aren’t treated with care and harvested strategically, the patient will suffer continual balding even after their hair transplant surgery.
Dr. Umar’s Unique Strategies
One way that Dr. Umar guarantees long-term growth is the FUE Shave Test. Dr. Umar shaves the patient’s head to see the growth potential in the nape and whether or not he should harvest follicles from that area. In this case, Dr. Umar could see that nape hair could be used for this patient’s donor pool.
Another strategy Dr. Umar uses to ensure that follicles are extracted most optimally is by using his Dr.UPunch i ™ device. The device’s flared punch cuts away from the follicle, making the extraction process safer. Notably, this tool also helped the follicles stay hydrated during the surgery process. The drying of grafts is a common cause of poor growth. The fluid irrigation component protects the follicle from drying and replaces the need to forcibly remove grafts using other tools like surgical tweezers. With the UGraft advanced FUE hair transplant tools he invented, a shave test, and a personable, thorough approach, Dr. Umar successfully recreated a hairline and temples for this celebrity.
To create the best framework for this celebrity hair restoration case, Dr. Umar took into account Bernardo’s facial features using certain guiding points and standards set forth by nature for aquiline faces.

Frequently Asked Questions – Celebrity Hair Restoration
Some celebrities are known for having undergone bad hair transplants. If they can afford the very best doctors, why does this happen?
Just because a doctor is popular or expensive doesn’t mean they have the right tools and knowledge to conduct successful hair transplant surgeries. In fact, often, a celebrity’s manager might choose a bad hair transplant doctor. This is because they may choose the doctor based on their publicity and reputation rather than whether they actually know how to perform FUE surgery. Dr. Umar takes a highly individualistic approach to patients, treating each patient as a unique case. In addition, many dermatologists lack the proper tools to help African American patients. So, even if they are advertised to be the best, they might simply not know how to treat the patient. A few examples of bad celebrity hair restoration mistakes include visible strip scarring, poor growth, and pluggy hairlines. These errors occur because of carelessness and a lack of an individualistic approach to hair treatment.
If a celebrity has had a bad hair transplant, what can be done to fix it?
Dr. Umar has dealt with many patients who come to him after a botched hair transplant surgery. Though things might look dire, he reassures them not to worry. Using an advanced FUE method, he can restore density to areas that look unnatural and cover up scars. When Dr. Umar gets a patient who has suffered botched hair transplant surgery, he assesses how much donor hair is available on their head. After assessing the patient’s unique situation, he sees if it will be necessary to use body hair. If the patient’s scalp follicles appear prone to balding or there aren’t enough durable follicles on the scalp, Dr. Umar proceeds to use body hair. Unlike other hair transplant doctors, Dr. Umar specializes in body hair transplants (BHT). He has both the tools and knowledge to safely administer these highly complex procedures.
The Hollywood Reporter did an article about hair restoration for celebrities and referenced Dr. Umar’s work with leg hair. Is leg hair absolutely necessary for creating the most natural-looking hairlines possible?
Though Dr. Umar uses leg hair in his advanced FUE surgeries, it’s unnecessary to create the most natural-looking hairlines possible. While other FUE methods only extract head hair follicles, Dr. Umar uses follicles from all over the body. Donor areas include the back, nape, face, and more.
For example, nape hair can be used to recreate the soft edge. However, since nape hair grows at sharp angles, it requires special tools to be extracted safely and thoroughly. Before using nape hair in surgery, Dr. Umar administers a shave test to determine whether the patient’s nape hair has long-term growth potential. If the patient passes the shave test, Dr. Umar proceeds to extract and transplant the nape hair.
