This young patient stated noticing hair loss a few years ago and wanted to take care of it to preserve his appearance. His areas of concern were:
- Hairline,
- Crown,
- Mid-scalp,
- Frontal scalp.
The patient wanted a hair transplant surgery to restore hairline and mid-scalp hair. He also knew he didn’t want to compromise the quality of the transplant for any reason, including distance.
This is why to get a hair transplant; the patient traveled from London to the Dr. U Hair and Skin Clinic in beautiful Manhattan Beach, CA.
Baldness? We Don’t Know Her.
The patient saw Dr. Umar for a consultation and was categorized as NW3. After drawing his hairline and discussing his transplant goals, the patient and Dr. Umar decided on 7400 grafts to address the patient’s problem areas.
The grafts were derived from the patient’s head, nape, and beard using the UGraft Zeus – the first all-purpose FUE device invented by Dr. Sanusi Umar.
By getting hair transplants at the Dr. U Skin and Hair clinic, the patient received a hairline, crown, and mid-scalp hair restoration that changed his look in the best way possible. The new youthful look made him feel more confident and comfortable in his skin. As you can see below, his transplants turned out so natural they were indistinguishable from the rest of his hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do hair transplants last forever, or will they fall out?
Generally, if your surgeon takes the grafts from areas with permanent hair, the transplanted hair should not fall out. However, there have been instances when transplanted hair has been known to thin out. Common reasons for this will include the following:
- Possible grafting of non-permanent hair,
- Scarring alopecia or some other autoimmune disease that attacks or weakens the hair follicles,
- Rarely, there may be no apparent cause.
Will people be able to tell I got a hair transplant when they stand close by?
Hair transplants aim to have a permanent and unnoticeable solution to hair loss, unlike wigs, hairpieces, etc. If you go to a skilled hair transplant surgeon, they should be able to make sure your transplants blend in with the rest of your hair seamlessly. That being said, it’s not impossible for someone with a trained eye to notice transplants if they’re standing close to you.
