Best Hair Transplant Doctor

Two great doctors. Dr. Bolton was inspired by his Dad, who is also a doctor, to get in the profession of helping people. Dr. Bolton's Dad brought people into the world and Dr. Bolton helped them look their best. Both honorable professions. If you want the best hair transplant doctor possible it is Dr. Brett Bolton. Take the Pepsi challenge and hold up his one procedure results to anyone else. You will see that nobody gets more density and keeps the look absolutely natural better then the best hair transplant doctor in the world. Dr. Brett Bolton.

Hair Transplant Post Op 1 Month

This is my Hair Transplant post op at one month.

After one month you can see there is no sign that I had a procedure and in fact you can see beginning hair growth. The plan was to lower the frontal hair line and fill in the temporal peaks to take away the recession. Many people are afraid that after one month they may look strange or unnatural. The results are so minimal that it doesn't draw any attention to your appearance. Nobody will notice your hair transplant post op appearance at the 1 month mark.

After

Dr. Bolton preps the donor area and prepares to excise the donor strip and eliminate the scars from the two prior procedures before Dr. Bolton. One linear scar from a procedure ten years ago and the polka dot scars from the FUE surgery a few years back. The FUE was and is presented to patient's as a scarless surgery. It is not.

September 30, 2011: The hair is cut short and there is no detectability of any donor scars despite the fact that this is the patient's third surgery. This is the patient's first surgery with Dr. Bolton who cleaned up the scars from the first two surgeries. This is another example of a patient who got more substantial results from one procedure in six months time then he received from his two prior procedures elsewhere.

Dr. Bolton had a FUE hair repair in the office today.
Patient paid a premium for FUE extraction and also had previous strip surgery elsewhere. The patient did tremendous research and travelled in for his procedure. One of the most knowledgeable patients we have ever met. Unfortunately, it was not translating to a significant result. We are confident that this procedure will surpass his two prior procedures considerably. He has promised that once he starts to get his results he will share his photos.
Note the FUE scars in the donor area. You can also see they took follicles from above the normal safe area. This is typical of FUE as many FUE doctors don't adhere to the normal accepted practices of ethical hair restoration surgeons. As this procedure becomes more popular due to the financial incentives and marketing of the "latest, cutting edge procedure" we will see many more FUE repair patients. It is unfortunate that people (doctors) are motivated by money and don't do what is in the best interest of their patients. If you believe that given a choice to make $15,000-$30,000 on one case as opposed to $10,000 a doctor will choose $10,000? This is the choice right now for doctors. Patient beware of all the FUE hair repair that will be coming down the pike in the next few years.
It is interesting to note that after 4 months this patient has already achieved stronger results then in his past two procedures for a fraction of the cost. The hair in the donor is short and there is no evidence of a donor scar despite the fact that this is his third surgery. Dr. Bolton removed his numerous prior scars from the two previous doctors and has left the patient with one donor scar that is not visible unless the patient shaves his head.
Please forgive the photos not be more uniform as the patient is not from this area and sent in his after photos and also wants to remain for now anonymous.

Patient comes in for Follow up ten days post op

This is ten days after surgery. This patient's suture will continue to heal and fade for one year. People are paying 3-4 times our cost for FUE and not getting the results we are.

Fixing a FUE Patient

This patient had a strip surgery ten years ago and a FUE a couple years ago. Patient was not happy with either scar. Dr. Bolton took both previous procedure scars out. You will get to follow this case in the next few months as the patient gets his results. You can see the FUE is not a scar less surgery as touted. It leaves a circular scar. You can also see there are not many which means the procedure did not yield much hair. The patient paid a premium for the "scar less" surgery which left scars and had a minimal result. Also notice the circular scars go above the typical donor area. It is not uncommon for doctors who do this procedure to take hairs outside the safe zone. There is probability that these hairs will thin and fall out as the patient ages because they were not harvested from the safe zone.

Get Bonus: Extra hair with Dr. Bolton

Dr. Bolton is unique in so many ways. His ability to consistently get his patients significant results in one procedure, give them 100% of his focus on their surgery day, and not give primarily micro grafts to his patients.
We have not talked about this too much on this site but another unique aspect of Dr. Bolton's procedure is to get his patients hairs other doctors won't. Most doctors stay between the ears when removing the donor strip. Dr. Bolton will actually go past each ear. This in some cases can deliver an extra 2,000 - 3,000 hairs more then other doctor's maximum size cases. It's like getting bonus hair which can enable Dr. Bolton to get you more density or put hair into another area that might not have been covered without getting these extra hairs. If you study Dr. Bolton's photos on his site, which are primarily one procedure only, you will see that he can cover large areas and get excellent density in one procedure.

British Soccer Star has Hair Restoration Procedure

Wayne Rooney a soccer player from the UK made the news the last few days because he went public and tweeted about his hair transplant.
The headlines says he paid 30,000 pounds (US $50,000) for a procedure that covered just the frontal 1/3 portion of his balding area. It is absurd to pay that much for so little hair. It says in the article he had the procedure over a two day span. Two days for maybe 2,000 hairs? The article also mentioned it is a two step process requiring him to repeat shortly.
This is the latest hype to plague the hair restoration field. First, it was lasers to make recepient sites, then PRP, A Cell, and now FUE. FUE will also follow in the footsteps of these aforementioned "breakthroughs". FUE is great for a doctor who puts his revenue and ability to market ahead of a patients comfort, budget and results. FUE is limited due to the extraction method. The FUE method is time consuming and to pull one follicle out at a time and hope it is not damaged is unethical. This can take a few days to get a yield that Dr. Bolton can exceed in 15 minutes. Dr. Bolton delivers 2-3 times more hair and his procedures are less then 5 hours. FUE also limits the size of the grafts to mainly one and two hairs thus limiting density.
My guess is Mr. Rooney got his procedure gratis in exchange for the publicity for the clinic. It is nice to see a high profile person go public but unfortunately his choice of procedure(FUE) will be doing many people a disservice in that they will overpay, go through needless discomfort and get a limited result. People are attracted to this procedure because it is touted as a scarless procedure. There is no such thing and you are starting to see a good number of people on the internet searching how to fix their scarless scars. Please see Dr. Bolton's www.greathairtransplants.com and you will see at least 30 examples of his patients donor scars that are undetectable.

Follow up with Patient over the phone 2 months postoperative

I spoke to a patient yesterday who sent in his photos at the two month mark. He also included his photos of his scalp immediately after the procedure, at the 1 month and two month mark. This young man travelled in from North Florida after having had two previous procedures elsewhere with minimal results and unsatisfactory scarring to the donor area. Patient is African-American and likes to wear his hair short. His first procedure was with MHR and second procedure with Dr. Cole who performed FUE.
Dr. Bolton was able to remove all previous scarring and after 2 months the patients is already encouraged by his healing and the minimal scar left. Patient was informed healing and scar will continue to improve up to one year from procedure. This patient is detailed oriented and documents everything and has done extensive research. I invited him to publish on our blog or forum and also the national blogs. He assured me he will but wants to wait a few more months untill he has more substantial results as people on blogs love to rip people before they have their results.
It is a great feeling to know that you work for a doctor that is able to do for people what few if any others can do. I am fortunate to have found Dr. Bolton. The patient who does a bit more research then average will also be fortunate to find a doctor who due to his unique talents and abilities over 15 years and thousands of cases is able to accomplish what few or none can. People are paying more then double to doctors who tout "scarless" surgeries and don't deliver on their promises.
We look forward to seeing Dr. Bolton deliver substantial results with undetectable donor scarring once again.

Another undetectable donor scar!

This is ten days after the procedure and the sutures were removed.
The only thing showing is the remaining crusts that stuck to the suture line. Dr. Bolton consistently leaves a suture line similar to the edge of a piece of paper. He does not charge extra for this unique and special skill. In twelve years of working in this field and having observed the work of hundreds of doctors I've never seen anyone with Dr. Boilton's skill set.
