Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2009 The "best" surgeon for Asians would be the best surgeon for non-Asians, as well! ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member latinlotus Posted February 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2009 It should not really matter whether asian or not. In fact, asian hair is easier to work it. Thus, if a doctor is good with whites, then he definitely can work with asians. ******** I am not a doctor. The opinions and comments are of my own. HT with Dr. Cooley on Nov 20, 2008 2097 grafts, 3957 hairs Proscar, 1.25 mg daily, skip the 5th day, started Nov 2007 My Hair Loss Blog - Hair Transplant with Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted February 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2009 This is actually a good topic. An alternate articulation of the question would be: Is there a greater difficulty for the surgeon in dealing with certain shaped hair follicles? Some surgeons claim that they specialize in "ethnic" hair restoration. The image conjured up is that these surgeons have some special knowledge or capability with African-Americans. take care...

Dr. Jerry Wong Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Actually Asian hair is more difficult to work with for several reasons. 1.) Asian hair follicles are more fragile than non-Asian follicles so it is easier for them to be damaged during a procedure. 2.) The direction of growth for multi-hair groupings (two,three or more hairs in a follicular bundle) is more apt to be divergent in the fatty tissue. In other words, once the hair disappears below the tissue surface the direction of growth can look more like the legs of a coffee table splayed out. This makes the dissection process more laborious and time consuming. 3. Asian follicles are on average longer than non-Asian follicles so the chance of vascular damage is a bit higher. This is due to the need for slightly deeper incisions when matching the depth of the incision to the length of the graft and because the follicles tend to diverge more (see #2) the incision will be on average slightly larger for Asian multi-hair follicular units than for the corresponding size non-Asian multi-hair units. Dr. Hasson and I work on many Asian patients as Vancouver has one of the largest Asian populations in North America including both South East Asians (Indian/Pakistan/Sri Lanka) and far east Asians (Chinese,Japanese, Korean etc.). This does not include the dozens of Asians that travel to us from their respective countries every year.

Dr. Wong, Thank you for the valuable contribution! Since Asian hair is more difficult, can we assume that African-American hair is easier to work with? take care...
