Contemporary Hair Transplant Surgery (American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery)

Hair transplantation is widely recognized as the most effective current treatment for male pattern baldness. Until now, however, it has not received comprehensive treatment in a single book.

This new work, the first devoted exclusively to hair transplant surgery, provides information on patient evaluation, operative planning, and the step-by-step details of surgical technique. Written by a team of leading experts, the book focuses throughout on procedures that have proven successful in the authors' own clinical experience, including:

• Help in planning the right operation for all types of pattern baldness
• Pointers on combining standard grafts, minigrafts, and micrografts to achieve a natural appearance
• Advice on treating younger, rapidly balding patients
• Information on designing surgery that ages with the patient and produces permanent, high-quality results
