Hair transplantation is one of the most rapidly evolving procedures in cosmetic surgery on Upper East Side NYC, with regular improvement in techniques. The recent advances in technology and the concept of using follicular unit grafts have made this procedure reach a new height.
Hair transplantation is based on the ‘theory of donor dominance in androgenic alopecia.’ If a graft is taken from an area destined to be permanently hair-bearing and transplanted to an area suffering from male pattern baldness, it will, after an initial period of effluvium, grow hair in its new site as long as it would have at its original site.
