Q. I am a 23 year old female with a very high hairline, my hairline receeds back and gives me a huge forehead, it makes me extremely self conscious and gives me a lack of self esteem and confidence. Its embarassing. I have 2 scars on my forehead 1 is from an accident around 9 years ago and the scar goes back into my hairline, the other is horizontal across the middle of my forehead from another accident 6 years ago. Would these scars affect me from having a surgical procedure in lowering my hairline? also would i be eligible to have the procedure on the nhs. There is no way i could afford this surgery myself but really cannot live with this forehead forever> thank you
A. Hi there, thanks for your query. Hair restoration in women is an area of huge controvesy as patient selction becomes very important. The difficulty we face is the lack of resources to prevent shock loss in women. Shock loss happens when you lose your own hair as a result of surgery- unlike men , we do not seem to have any effective medications to prevent shockloss in women. Scar correction is lot more feasible and the outcomes can be very good. My advice is to make an appointment with myself for an evaluation and I shall explain the pos and cons once we have assessed your hair.

Q. Hi. I had a procedure done at your selston clinic on the 24th January.now that my new hair are growing but it’s not as densed as you promised. now that my hair are growing the new hair is very light compare to my normal hair and is quite embrassing when looking into the mirror in the bathroom light on. also people are noticing the difference on the sides. I have spend my life saving of £4000 pound to get myself back on my confidance. can you advise and give some peace of mind. The FUE you did was for 2000 hair which you adviced was more than enough to get the full dense. can you advice i am really getting worried. I chose you because i trusted your work and believe you can give me some peace of mind. please reply asap i will be very happy
A. Hi there, thanks for your query. What you are experiencing is intial shedding that happens with any kind of hair restoration surgery . As expalined in the literature and also during your couselling before booking your session, the density is bound to get worse before it gets better.My advice is to arrange a f/up appointment with the clinic for an assessment.

Q. My 22 year old son is thinning on his crown and naturally feels very disturbed. He was thinking of surgery. 1) Do you have to shave his whole head before 2) will he have to take propecia after. Thanks.
A. Hi there, thanks for your query. FUE ca nbe perfromed without shaving the head fully if it a small area that needs to be fixed. It is not a necessity that the your son needs to be on propecia forever- however propecia does prevent further loss and bearing in mind your son’s age . we need to make sure he is using something to counter future loss.

Q. Hi My big brother has been losing his hair since early teenage years. He used to have thick and full hair. He uses products from Belgravia, he’s convinced they work, but personally i don’t see a difference. My father has had follicle implementation in Belgravia, maybe 10 years ago, i can’t remember as i was young. He’s has some taken from the back of his head and inserted at the front. But im not sure about the results. My brother is thinking of taking the same path but i am not convinced by it all. I was wondering if there are new research about the subject of hair loss or new treatments. I don’t know if it’s a hormonal/genetic problem and what can be done about this. Are there any alternatives to surgical treatment? Kind regards,
A. Hi there, thanks for your query. Hair loss has a multitude of causes – Genetic, Physical and ageing are some of the common causes.There is convincing evidence to support use of minoxidil and propecia in preventing further loss of hair. My advice is to see a dermatologist or a hair restoration surgeon to get a miniaturisation mapping study and get further advice on the way forward.

Q. My partner had a small skin cancer removed from the top of his head. The surgeon cut two semi circles (in opposing directions) with 82 stitches. This covered the top of his head. The initial bandage did not stay on and this may have caused the infection that followed. The area over the cancer was cut to the bone and the damaged tissue cut out along most of the scar line up to 1.7 cm in width remobing the nerve fibre. There is also patches of very thin hair. The rest of his hair remains very thick. What might his options be?
A. Hi there, thanks for your query. For small scars FUE hair restoration offers very good outcomes. Kindly look up on www.theprivateclinic.co.uk for ways to make an appointment.

Q. Hi, and thank you for reading my question. I have been exploring all avenues available and have decided on hair transplantation as propecia and minoxidil have done little to help. Which is the best technique to go for out of FUT,FUE and choi. Also do you have any information of your clinic as i cannot access a website. Many Thanks
A. Hi there, thanks for your query. Both FUT and FUE surgery have their merits and demerits. Kindly meet a few surgeons and not salespersons who will examine you and offer you an unbiased opinion . In general not everyone is suitable for hair restoration and hence my advice to carefully research the surgeon before you make a decision. I am happy to examine you – look up on www.theprivateclinic.co.uk for ways to make an appointment.

Q. Dear Sir, I have Norwood scale 2, so should only require 500-800 grafts and would prefer the strip method. Would you be able to perform this and how much will it cost? Thankyou for your time.
A. Hi there, thanks for your query . I am happy to examine you and recommend the desired number of grafts. Hair restoration is fairly complicated and I would recommend you meet a surgeon and not a salesperson to examine you. I have moved away from performing strip surgery due to logistics . I would recommend Dr Michael May or Dr Bessam Farjo if you are considering a strip surgery.
