What Are Hair Transplant Doctors Hiding?!

We recently posted a hubpage article about what hair transplant surgeons don't want you to know.

We want you to have the best possible results. Dr. Bolton's first priority is giving the you best possible results at a fair price. If you're interested in getting a hair transplant procedure, we encourage you to do your homework. Read this article so you can make the best decision!

Exciting Events in Dr. Bolton's Office

In this last week we had two separate cases where our patients flew in from South Dakota and Pittsburgh. What a great compliment to Dr. Bolton. Our patients, based on Dr. Bolton's reputation, and his website and most importantly, his results, flew in to South Florida to have a procedure.

I asked them what motivated them to go out of their way to choose Dr. Bolton. They replied they were attracted to Dr. Bolton's one procedure results. They also commented that compared to other doctors they were able to travel here with their spouse and still save money.

Basically, they were able to get 2-3 times the results (more hair moved), stay in beautiful South Florida on the beach, and save money.

Nice.

The Real Story on Hair loss Forums

What a great idea. A group of people get together and share experiences on their hair transplant procedure so you will have unbiased information on who to select for your procedure. In theory it is an awesome idea. In reality the two biggest sites are controlled by businessman who CHARGE doctors to be discussed on their sites. That is correct. To be discussed you have to pay to be in their membership alliance. If you don't pay, no matter how talented or exceptional your skills are you won't be mentioned unless it is in negative terms. I wonder how many people who read these forums are aware of that. Shouldn't there be a disclaimer that only those who pay to be a part of the alliance will be spoken about in positive terms and those that don't will be talked about in negative terms?
If I have a procedure and I want to write about my doctor in a complimentary way on their forum, unless it was with their doctors it will not be published.

These two sites rally against the big corporations who do these procedures withoust discerning the individual doctors who worked there. Ironically, four previous MHR doctors now are on the Bald Truth list of doctors who are now deemed OK. I'm sure there are some other doctors from other organizations who wouldn't pay Spencer who are now suddenly deemed OK to do your procedure once they pay to be on the list.
Even the "Gillenator" who is employed as an advocate for Bald Truth is actually a former employee of MHR. MHR is primarily responsible for that before and after photo Steve shows of himself. Where is the credit for that? I'm no cheerleader for the big corporations, I worked at MHR for almost ten years. I can tell you they did some things real well and others not so well. Just like any other business.
What it comes down to is basically who is your doctor and the staff that works on you. How many cases per day will be done. You want to be the only case for the day. If you can't get that assurance then don't do it with that doctor because they are putting themselves before you.
What a different perspective people would have if they new this before they started reading those forums. They do not pass the smell test. Just ask Consumer Reports.

Why the Doctors Staff Matters

In ten years of answering thousands of questions from prospective patients you might think you have answered every question possible. That is mostly accurate except the one question I never got. "Who are your technicians and can you tell me about their abilities" Now that would be a great question. The little known secret, that is not so secret after the procedure is completed, is that the technicans are critical to your results.
Doctors who aspire to do multiple procedures in one day and employ large staffs are not advantageous to the patient. Advantage doctor,(cha ching $$$) disadvantage patient. Quality control is difficult at best with that much activity. We are changing people's lives not making burgers. If every one is focused on you for the day you will spend less time in the chair, get less injections, and your grafts won't be sitting off to the side waiting to be placed. The doctor will also recognize you when you come in for follow-up.
To put it simply, why be one of 5 surgeries for the day when you can have all the attention for yourself that you deserve on your big day.

Is FUE for You?

Follicular Unit Extraction is being touted on the net as a superior way of moving follicles from the donor area to the recepient area. In rare cases (minimal lifetime hair loss) it may be an acceptable option. Is it superior? For the doctor, yes. He gets to charge twice the price and has a part of the population who is searching for different and better as a captive audience. Is it better for the patient? If the patient doesn't mind spending twice as much for the procedure, getting less hair per procedure, and a much higher transection(damage rate) and have a different type of scar in the donor area, yes.

Don't drink the Kool-aide. Check out Dr. Bolton's followups and see if you can find the donor scar. Good-luck.

How to Reverse balding in one Procedure

Dr. Bolton has done it again. We can add Joel to the long list of satisfied patients who came in to see Dr. Bolton last year about his significant hair loss. Check out Joel's photos. You will have a difficult time finding the donor scar which is literally the same width as a fine line pencil line. We see so many people who have had bad experiences elsewhere with their scars but Dr. Bolton has a unique talent and ability to make the scar a non-issue. Dr. Bolton moved over 34 cm x 1 cm (approximately 6,500 hairs). This is more hair moved than other doctors largest procedures of 3,000 follicular mega-sessions. If you want more HAIR and dramatic results in just one procedure, Dr. Bolton is your doctor.

Have you heard bad things about Scarring?

Hair transplants have been around for over 50 years. Even in the last ten years the methods have improved dramatically. When you hear about bad experiences a lot occurred over ten years ago. People can still have a bad result but thankfully there are more quality doctors today than years ago. What sets Dr. Bolton apart from his peers is his unique ability to leave barely any scar visibility after surgery.

We had a patient who came in from another doctor after three surgeries. Like many patients we see, he lacked density in the area he wanted to improve and he had a significant scar after three surgeries. In one procedure, Dr. Bolton gave him more hair than the patient got in his previous three procedures and left him with a barely visible scar after 4 surgeries.

Dr. Bolton never ceases to amaze me.

Hair Transplant Myths

In ten years of meeting thousands of prospective patients, I have heard all the excuses of why men have lost hair. Very few guys will come in and say I'm losing my hair due to my genetics. It is curious to me that people would have a difficult time saying that. Most often the excuses are: I'm losing my hair because a cup of coffee fell on my head, I joined the military and they shaved my head and it never grew back, I played a lot of soccer and the ball wore my hair off, I wore a hat too much as a kid, the wind hitting my hair with the window open when I drive wore out my hair, there is a lot of stress in my life, etc. You can blame genetics for about 99% of all cases of hair loss. Just because your Dad and Grandfather have nice heads of hair does not guarantee you keeping your hair. In fact, there is no guarantee. Hair loss can be inherited from the Mom's side or your Father's side. It can skip generations. It is a genetic crap shoot.

The good news is you can do something about your hair loss. Today nobody has to accept being bald. You can have hair that lasts a lifetime.
