First Online:

Abstract

The field of hair restoration has evolved rapidly over the past two decades from one of unsightly plug grafts now to state-of-the-art, undetectable follicular hair transplantation. Understanding hair loss and hair replacement, patterns of baldness, anesthesia, and techniques are described. Superior hair restoration is predicated on substantial experience, artistry, but most of all commitment and passion for excellence without compromise.
