Most people suffering from hair loss will encounter a wide variety of myths about both its cause and its cure. We want you to know the real story on hair loss and effective treatments so that you can decide whether surgical hair restoration is a viable option for you.
At Neograft Hair Restoration of CT – Dr. Brownell performs Follicular Unit Extraction exclusively. With this advance hair restoration procedure thousands of hair follicles are removed from the scalp with a automated device called Neograft so no sutures or staples are needed at the end of the day. There is also no linear donor scar.
This technolgy is becoming very popular. Professionals in the sports and performing arts community, including actors from film, television, and theater, have taken advantage of this technology. These professionals count upon their appearance to maintain a successful career, which is why they have sought out Dr. Brownell to perform their hair transplant. The NeoGraft FUE hair transplantation is a simple in-office procedure performed in Westport, CT offices.
THE CONSULTATION
All consultations at Neograft Hair Restoration of CT are complimentary and under no obligation. Consults consist of a detailed medical history and a thorough scalp examination where Dr. Brownell will analyze your hair density, caliber and your possibility of hair loss over time.
During your consultation, you will learn all about the hair transplant process, including associated risks, and the results you can expect to see in the months following surgery.
If you decide that the procedure is for you, Dr. Brownell‘ staff will keep an accurate record of your results by taking “before” and “after” photos of your head and scalp from several angles, using the same lighting and background on each occasion in our photo lab.
THE FUE PROCEDURE
- No linear donor scar
- No sutures or staples
- Hair must be clipped in order to access donor hair
The outpatient procedure is performed under a local anesthetic. Patients usually experience some discomfort during the numbing process (takes about 30 seconds). You will be sleepy during the procedure due to oral sleep medication, and most patients sleep about 50% of the day. If you are awake, music or movies can be played to pass the time. The average procedure day takes six to eight hours to complete, and larger cases may take two consecutive days. Afterwards you’ll be given simple post-op instructions. Both the donor and recipient areas will be healed in one week, after which you can resume any type of physical work or exercise. Follow-up visits at two weeks, six months, and one year will be scheduled and are part of the surgery fee.
Once the transplanted hair grows in, you can cut color and style it any way you like. Dr. Brownell assures all patients that hair growth will occur. His goal is to give you superior service and uncompromising quality in a caring, professional environment.
