Joe Buck Hair Transplant – Fans React to His Hair Restoration

In our blog last week, we shared the news about Joe Buck visiting our Los Angeles hair transplant medical center to have a hair restoration procedure. One of the first things that should be discussed is that Joe Buck made the decision to share the news about his FUE hair transplant with the public. Each patient has the right to make their own decision whether or not they want to let others know they had any type of medical procedure. Since Joe shared his hair transplant with his social media followers, we were also able to discuss it with the readers of our blog.

It turns out that we are not the only ones to be excited by this news and wanting to discuss it with others. Here is a look at some of the reactions regarding the new look to Joe Buck’s hairline.

Fans React to Joe Buck Hair Transplant

The world was first altered to Joe’s surgery when he posted a photo from our Los Angeles medical center on his Instagram account. The caption for the photo said, “Training camp doesn’t just start for players. New network, newly arranged follicles. Hello ESPN!!! Cannot wait for September 12, and for this green to wash out of my hair. I promise I’ll look normal-ish by week 1. Oh and why four people for one head??? It’s a big head.”

In general, his fan seems to appreciate his honesty by replying to his news on social media. Some of the fan reactions included:

• “Smart. You come out and show it, people won’t make fun like they would if he showed up outta nowhere with a head full of hair.”
• “This is fantastic, I literally have no idea why people hate this guy so much.”
• “Joe Buck is the guy.”
• “Love the plain-spoken honesty”
• “Thanks for sharing your story, and the doctor Joe Buck”

Nikki Glaser, a well-known comedian, said, “Yes! Love this honesty. Now show us your BBL scars.” (Joe…is there something you’re not telling us?)

Joe Buck Hair Transplant – How it Can Help the Public

There are many reasons that someone who is experiencing hair loss might not want to have a hair transplant. One of the reasons is that they don’t want to feel any embarrassment about having the procedure when they are with friends or family. They might feel alone and that no one will understand what they are going through, and this is especially true when they view celebrities who seem to have a perfect life as well as a perfect head of hair.

The fact that a celebrity like Joe Buck, who is viewed by millions of people each week during football games, is open with his fans about his hair transplant is something that should be admired. Many celebrities do not want to ruin their perfect image with their fans by admitting to having some type of cosmetic surgery procedure. Joe Buck is showing the public that it is okay to want to make a change in their appearance if it will help them feel better about their look and also give a boost to their self-image. In addition, Joe Buck is pulling back the curtain on the hair restoration process and helping to educate the public while also showing them that the actual procedure is not as scary as they might imagine it to be in their minds.

Hair Transplant – How It Works

The hair transplant process gives the hairline of a patient a rejuvenated and refreshed look thanks to the placing of hair grafts in areas of the scalp that are thinning or balding.

The hair transplant process starts with the doctor taking donor hair from the donor area of the body. The donor area is usually the back and sides of the scalp as the hair on these areas of the scalp is resistant to the balding process. Patients who do not have enough high-quality donor hair do not need to worry as donor hair can also come from other areas of the body such as the chest and beard.

The donor hair will be implanted into incisions that are created by the surgeon in the targeted area of the scalp. This hair will act like the natural/native hair in the targeted area of the scalp and gain a natural look as it is growing. The transplanted hair is resistant to balding which means patients do not need to worry about it falling out after they gain the desired final results.

Anyone who is interested in being like Joe Buck and having a hair transplant are invited to contact our office today to schedule a consultation appointment. Our doctors will perform a thorough examination of the scalp to determine the reasons for the hair loss as well as set realistic expectations for the type of results the person can expect to enjoy after the procedure.

Joe Buck Hair Transplant – New Look for a New Football Season

The year of 2022 has seen a lot of changes for Joe Buck on a professional and personal level. Buck left his broadcast home of many years, Fox Sports, to take on a new challenge of announcing football games for ESPN. In addition, he attended his own version of “training camp” this week at the new offices of Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration by undergoing a hair transplant with Dr. Mohebi.

Joe Buck Hair Transplant – Get the Details

According to a post on his Instagram account from just a few days ago, “Training camp doesn’t just start for players. New network, newly arranged follicles.” Buck was referring to getting ready for his debut as the lead announcer on Monday Night Football on September 12th. The photo with the caption included some of our team members posing with Joe for his selfie. He added, “Oh, and why four people for one head??? It’s a big head!”

On another Instagram post, Buck compared his current hairstyle to the character of “Arthur” on “Peaky Blinders.” He referred to his look the day after his FUE hair transplant as “my new Peaky F’in Blinders cut.” Buck also referenced Dr. Mohebi with “Thanks to Dr. Parsa Mohebi for being the gentle, genius he is. This isn’t a paid ad by the way, he’s just that good.”

Joe Buck visited our office last year to have a hair transplant that addressed some of the hair restoration results he gained in the past from other doctors. Joe has made no secret of having multiple hair transplants in the past or his desire to gain a more youthful hairline. We even spotlighted his hair restoration journey at the time with a video that showed the thought and care that went into planning the youthful hairline Joe was trying to gain by visiting the team at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration:

One of the things Dr. Mohebi often discusses with patients is the fact that a hair transplant procedure, performed using the latest hair restoration technology, can provide results that last a lifetime. When Joe Buck began his hair restoration journey, the year was 1993 and hair transplant technology was nowhere near the advanced methods that are currently available to the public.

One of the reasons Joe decided to have a hair transplant was the fear of losing his hair that he felt as a younger person. As mentioned above, Buck had his first hair restoration surgery in 1993 and, as he described himself in his 2016 memoir, “I, Joseph Francis Buck, became a hair-plug addict.”

It is not surprising that one of the most famous and successful sportscasters in the television industry was worried about losing his hair. Television is a visual medium and this means that everyone from TV stars on network television to local TV news anchors want to have a youthful look. To quote Joe Buck, “Broadcasting is a brutal, often unfair business, where looks are valued more than skill.”

Hair Transplants – How They Transform the Life of a Patient

The loss of hair on the scalp can give a person a look that is older than their actual age. In addition, a person with bald spots or thinning hair on the scalp can suffer from a lack of confidence in their appearance and even have self-image issues due to the look of their hairline.

A hair transplant is performed by taking donor hair from another part of the body and transplanting it into the balding areas on the scalp. The donor hair usually comes from the back or sides of the scalp as the hair in those sections of the head is resistant to balding. If there is not enough available donor hair on the head of the patient, the necessary hair grafts can be taken from other areas of the body such as the beard or the chest.

The transplanted hair will start to grow where it is placed in the scalp, and it will act like the natural/native hair of the head. The results last a lifetime, and the results are also natural in appearance. A full and healthy hairline gives a person a rejuvenated appearance as well as a more youthful look in their personal life and professional career.

The desire to look youthful in the business world bring us back to the story of Joe Buck. As shown in his quote earlier in this article, the appearance of someone in the broadcasting industry is often given more thought than the actual skills and abilities of the person. The reasons that a patient wants to have a hair transplant can range from wanting a youthful look to missing the hair they once had on their scalp to simply desiring a change in their appearance and outlook on life. Joe Buck is a good example of a person who knows what they want to achieve when it comes to the look of their hairline. Our team is happy that he has trusted us to be a major part of his hair restoration journey.

Captain Fantastic and Hair Loss – How Did Elton John Get His Hair Back?

Elton John has rarely been out of the spotlight since “Your Song” was released in 1970. He even has a hit record right now with “Cold Heart” which means he has been on the charts in six different decades. Besides his music, Elton is also known for his flamboyant clothes and the changes in his hairline. Let’s take a look at the journey of Elton John’s hair from the 1970s to 2022.

Elton John – Lack of Confidence in His Hair

The internationally known singer is currently performing his farewell tour and the 75-year-old singer claims it will be his last major tour. Throughout his career, Elton has been a performer who commands the stage with confidence thanks to his flashy clothes and outgoing personality. There was one aspect of his appearance that always served as a source for insecurity for him and that was the lack of hair on his scalp.

The singer spent almost three decades battling hair loss. He has even compared his balding appearance to “a disturbing resemblance to the cartoon character Shrek.” The journey to regain his hairline has not been an easy one for Elton John. He first started to lose his hair at the start of his career in the early 1970s. In his autobiography, Elton revealed that the final straw when it came to how he felt about his hair was a bad dye job. In the book, Elton wrote, “A bad dye job in New York suddenly caused the stuff to stage a mass walkout. By 1976, there was hardly anything left on top. I hated how I looked.”

Even though he made an attempt to save his hair through the performance of an FUT hair transplant on his scalp, it did not provide the desired results. Looking back on the surgery, the singer was not sure whether to blame the actual surgical procedure or something else for the fact that his hair loss was still an issue. “Perhaps it had something to do with the amount of drugs I was taking.” Because of the less advanced hair transplant technology that was available at the time, he described his head as being “covered in scabs and weird craters.”

The reason he has this theory about his hair loss is that his thinning scalp first started to become noticeable in the early 1970s. This is also the time in his life when he started to take drugs on a regular basis. In fact, the singer ended up becoming addicted to cocaine for two decades until he got sober in the 1990s.

Elton John Hair Restoration Continues – Hair Transplant (Again) or Wig?

There is a good amount of gossip surrounding the successful restoration of hair on the head of Elton John.

Before he was able to gain his desired hairline, he wore a hat on a regular basis so there would not be any photos of his bald head.

He has admitted to having a hair weave performed which meant that a hairdresser took what remained of his hair and attached it to new hair. However, this look was not received positively by his fans. He was even told the new look resembled a “dead squirrel” on his head. (Elton later admitted that he was “forced to concede” the point regarding the look of the weave.)

When it comes to the current look of his hair, there has been some gossip regarding another hair transplant for Elton John. Some people believe he had FUE hair transplant that resulted in the healthy head of hair he currently enjoys. There are others who think he did have a second hair transplant (FUE or not) but it was not as successful as the singer hoped (much like his first hair transplant).

In addition to all of the gossip and theories and speculation about additional hair transplants for the singer, Elton John shared the news that he decided to wear a hairpiece on his scalp. “Eventually, I gave up and got a hairpiece, made by the people who make wigs for Hollywood movies.”

When he reflects on the difference created by his hairpiece, Elton said, “For years, people were absolutely obsessed with my hair, or lack of it. Then I stared wearing a wig and hardly anyone’s mentioned it since.”

While it is not good news that Elton John’s 1970s hair transplant did not provide the desired results, the technology used to perform hair transplants has greatly increased since the 1970s.

FUE hair transplant is able to remove hair grafts on an individual basis and transplant them into the scalp of the patient. Unlike FUT hair transplant which leaves a linear scar on the area of the scalp where the hair grafts were removed, FUE removes and transplants hair grafts individually so there is not a long, visible scar left on the scalp of the patient. When Elton John first started to lose his hair, the available surgical help of the time did not provide the realistic and natural looking results patients currently enjoy. If Elton John’s hair loss issues had started in the 21st century, this blog would not have been written since he would not have experienced the hair transplant issues he had in the past.

A Second Hair Transplant or Just a New Look for Elon Musk?

Instead of hiring a stylist, Elon Musk took it upon himself to style and shave the sides of his head for his latest Time magazine cover. And in true Elon Musk form, his haircut turned out to be very futuristic and unique. But it makes us wonder if shaving his head is part of his new look or in preparation for another hair transplant?

Shaving parts of your head could be one of the steps in preparation for an FUE hair transplant. This step allows better visibility to the donor area to extract viable hair grafts in conventional hair transplants. There are other types of FUE hair restoration that do not require any shaving of the donor or recipient area such as Celebrity Hair Transplant.

So, when Elon was pictured with his new shaved hairstyle, we became curious to ask, could this be his way to begin a second hair transplant process stealthily? And if he was preparing for another hair restoration procedure, why not go with the Celebrity Hair Transplant™, where it’s not required to shave the head or change your hairstyle.

We take a closer look at why Elon Musk decided to shave his hair. Could it have just been for his latest magazine cover or a second hair transplant procedure?

Did Elon Musk Have a Hair Transplant?

We know Elon had a hair transplant back in the early 2000s based on a timeline of pictures. And in those images, you can see his hair is significantly thinned out at the frontal part of his scalp, plus a receding hairline at the side of his temples. Thinning of the hair is caused by the miniaturization of the hair follicles, specifically the decreasing size of the hair shaft. The miniaturization of scalp hair is the early sign of male patterned baldness that is caused by a person’s age, genetics, or DHT hormone levels.

We know for a fact that it is highly unlikely for anyone to have this type of transformation with topical or systemic hair loss treatments.

Did Elon Musk Shave His Head for Another Hair Transplant?

We can understand how this suspicion of a possible hair transplant just from a shaved hairstyle could cause confusion. And your skepticism is warranted. People shave their heads without having any other reason to. However, it’s not uncommon for patients to have multiple hair transplants.

Take for example, comedian and producer Joel McHale. He underwent three hair transplants in order to achieve his T.V. perfect hair. For McHale, he felt the pressure from his line of work to pursue improvements on his hair. And for other patients, they may need a second hair transplant to correct an initial transplant that did not meet the desired outcome or results or have to address new areas of hair loss.

Elon Musk might feel the pressure to address any imperfections from his first hair transplant or possibly need to address other areas of his scalp that have active hair loss.

If Elon has shaved his hair for a second hair transplant, we fully support his efforts. People should feel empowered to pursue a transformation through hair transplantation, even if they’ve already had a procedure done—like how Joel McHale did.

Having to deal with shaved and patchy parts of the head or dealing with possible scars may be why most stop pursuing another hair transplant. Luckily, the Celebrity Hair Transplant™ is a hair restoration technique that requires no hair shaving.

No Shaving Required: Celebrity Hair Transplant

The Celebrity Hair Transplant™ by Dr. Parsa Mohebi originated in our Los Angeles offices, where Hollywood celebrities live and work. It was our clientele’s need for a hair transplant solution that was discreet and didn’t require them to shave their hair or change their hairstyle that motivated us to develop Celebrity Hair Transplant. It has become one of the most sought-after hair restoration treatments because it doesn’t require shaving of the recipient and donor area and it does not leave any linear scars on the donor area.

We want to point out that you don’t have to be a celebrity like Elon Musk to have this type of procedure performed. If you are looking for a hair restoration procedure that doesn’t require you to shave your hair or change your hairstyle, this is the optimal solution.

The Takeaway – Elon Musk and His Hair Transplant

So, we know that Elon Musk has had a hair transplant in the past, his latest unseen shaven hairstyle makes us believe that he could be preparing for another hair transplant.

And although we don’t have confirmation that he is planning to have another hair transplant, we believe that if he does, he doesn’t have to change his hairstyle to have one done.

Chrissy Teigen Reveals New Look with Eyebrow Hair Transplant

Chrissy Teigen is embracing her new fuller eyebrow hairs after undergoing an eyebrow hair transplant after years of overplucking her eyebrows. She no longer wanted to fill in her brows with makeup or pencil liners and decided to restore the sparse look of her eyebrows with real hair.

An eyebrow hair transplant is an ideal solution for anyone who has lost eyebrow hairs from:

• Excessive plucking
• Congenital lack of eyebrows
• Side effect from a medical condition
• Scarring from an injury

Hair loss can also be caused by autoimmune disorders such as Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia or Alopecia Areata. Or a psychological condition such as trichotillomania, a hair-pulling disorder that causes a person to pluck hairs from their scalp, eyebrows, or other parts of the body. It is highly recommended to consult with a medical professional to treat and manage this condition before considering an eyebrow transplant.

An eyebrow hair transplant may not seem as high a priority as restoring the hair on your head, but eyebrows play an essential role in a person’s facial features. Not having eyebrow hairs can make a face appear less defined or structured. And even if a person has some eyebrow hairs, they may feel the pressure to fill in the missing sections daily- an everyday routine that can lead to asymmetrical results.

Getting a hair transplant for the eyebrows could save time from having to draw a brow shape every day, or the look of real hair might be a better option than microblading (a method of tattooing the look of eyebrow hairs). With an eyebrow hair transplant, it creates the possibility of reshaping the brows with natural hair, rather than being stuck with a permanent shape with a tattoo.

We can understand why Chrissy Teigen decided to do a hair transplant rather than the other available options. She wanted a solution for her sparsely formed eyebrows from her own hair.

We’ll explain what’s involved with an eyebrow hair transplant and what results come from this type of facial hair transplant.

What is an Eyebrow Hair Transplant?

An eyebrow hair transplant is performed with the Follicular Unit Extraction Technique (FUE) or, in some cases, a Follicular Unit Transplant strip technique.

In an FUE procedure, the surgeon removes hair grafts from the donor area (typically from the back and sides of the scalp, but with an eyebrow transplant, the donor area could come from other places on the body). The removed hair grafts are strategically placed in the site area created by the surgeon. The site area is made up of micro incisions in the desired shape of the eyebrow.

To ensure the most aesthetically appealing and realistic look of the eyebrows, the surgeon must keep in mind the natural angle and curvature of the hair grafts. An experienced surgeon will carefully select hair grafts that look similar to eyebrow hairs.

What’s Involved with an Eyebrow Hair Transplant?

With an FUE hair transplant used for eyebrows, hair graft harvesting is used with various tools such as robotic, motorized, and manual devices. The selected tool used for the procedure will vary from patient to patient, but with an FUE technique, the main objective is to remove the hair grafts with minimal donor area scarring. FUE is considered a less invasive procedure than FUT because it does not leave a visible scar.

Here is a general step-by-step guide of what’s involved with an eyebrow hair transplant with an FUE technique.

• Before the procedure, the design of the eyebrows is marked on the patient.
• Local anesthesia is administered at the site and donor areas.
• The surgeon makes tiny incisions creating a site area in the shape of the brow design.
• The hair grafts are extracted from the donor area, counted, and prepared for implantation.
• The hair grafts are strategically placed in the site area, making sure the curvature of the hairs is natural-looking to the eyebrow hairs.

The entire procedure could take 2-3 hours long, and the patient may feel only slight discomfort and pain after. Scabbing will naturally occur a few days after the procedure.

What are the Results from an Eyebrow Transplant?

It will take three to six months for a patient to notice new hair growth, and the full results can take up to eight months after the procedure. The transplanted eyebrow hairs will need to be trimmed more often and into the length of regular brow hair to maintain a natural look.

The results of an eyebrow hair transplant could be a transformative experience for a person who has always struggled with undefined or sparsely shaped brow hair.

We have helped many patients successfully achieve the look of fuller eyebrows ideally shaped to complement the angles and shape of their face. The before and after pictures document the hair growth, and you can visibly notice the happiness and satisfaction of the patient.

Final Takeaway

If you are interested in an eyebrow hair transplant, consult with a board-certified hair restoration surgeon with facial hair transplant experience. An eyebrow transplant requires a deep understanding of brow hair with its natural angulation and curvature to produce the most realistic-looking results. You no longer have to live with undefined or misshaped eyebrows. The look of fuller and beautifully shaped brows with your hair is entirely possible.

Khloé Kardashian Hair Loss Due to the Side Effects of Covid-19

As we try our best to recover from the impacts of the pandemic slowly, people who were once diagnosed with Covid-19 may still be dealing with the long-term side effects; Khloé Kardashian is one of them. In a public chat on Twitter, Khloé Kardashian revealed her hair loss due to the side effects of Covid-19.

It has been over a year since she contracted Covid, and Khloé is still dealing with her hair loss. Now that she has recently been diagnosed again with Covid-19 for the second time, what does this mean for Khloé Kardashian’s hair and future growth?

I share the possible causes of hair loss as a side effect from Covid-19 and the solutions for people suffering from hair loss after surviving Covid-19.

Why Did Khloé Kardashian Suffer Hair Loss From Covid-19?

Khloé Kardashian is not alone when it comes to hair loss as one of the long-term health consequences from Covid-19. In a patient cohort study from The Lancet Medical Journal, 22% of the patients who survived Covid-19 suffered hair loss six months after being diagnosed.

Reporting hair loss months after the virus has left your body has been written in an article by the  Cleveland Clinic, and a topic of conversation for the Facebook Group- Survivor Corps. With over 170K members sharing posts about their hair loss after having Covid.

Many Doctors and health experts point to a hair loss condition called Telogen effluvium as the culprit- a symptom triggered by stress.

What is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen effluvium is a condition when there is hair loss due to an extreme amount of stress on the body. Stress from illness, high fever, severe psychological stress, and some medications (such as beta-blockers and antidepressants) are some of the causes of Telogen effluvium.

Hair loss caused by Telogen typically begins three to six months after the traumatic event. The stress and anxiety from the event shift hair growth into Telogen or resting growth stage. The pause in growth eventually leads to hair falling out.

And in a small case study published by NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), participants suffered from hair loss symptoms three to six months after having the virus. The participants reported shedding hair or even losing clumps of hair. The report linked this post-Covid19 symptom to the hair loss condition Telogen effluvium.

The positive news is that Telogen effluvium is not permanent, and the hair loss will slowly recover. However, in some cases, hair loss could be irreversible in people prone to patterned baldness.

Can You Recover from Hair Loss After Covid-19?

The hair loss from Telogen effluvium will eventually end about 6-8 months after the stress is no longer active in the body. The best way to ease your body back into the state without underlying stressors will take a combination of efforts.

• Consult with a doctor or a nutritionist who can recommend a well-balanced food plan.
• Eat food rich in biotins such as eggs or salmon, with omega3 fatty acids to support healthy hair growth.
• Take multi-vitamins enriched with vitamins C, E, and zinc minerals that promote hair growth.
• Add exercise to your daily routine, 30-45 minutes, to help relieve stress and boost endorphins production in your brain.
• Plan for eight hours of sleep a night, allowing your body to rest and supporting a healthy immune system.

What if Hair Doesn’t Grow Back After Hair Loss From Covid-19?

We still have not uncovered everything there is to know about the long-term side effects of Covid-19. The physical and emotional symptoms have taken a toll on our minds and bodies. If we take away anything from our experience living through a pandemic is that health is wealth and it is always best to have peace of mind knowing your options for your well-being and health.

If you are concerned about hair loss due to the side effects of Covid-19, do not carry the burden of stress or worry. Schedule a consultation with our offices with one of our experienced hair transplant specialists. They can determine the cause of the hair loss and a treatment plan to help store your hair.

Drew Brees – Quarterback Scores a Touchdown with a New Hairline

Drew Brees has been one of the most successful NFL quarterbacks of the past few decades. He started his 20-season career with the San Diego Chargers before moving to the New Orleans Saints for 15 seasons. He also led the Saints to their only Super Bowl victory in 2010. Brees is known for his skills on the field as well as his disappearing hairline over the years. Now that he is retired and starting a new career as a commentator for NBC Sports, his hairline also seems to be starting a new life as well.

Drew Brees and His Reappearing Hairline in 2020

This season is the first year Brees has been in the broadcast booth and not on the field. Instead of focusing on his announcing abilities, the public agreed that his hair was in the spotlight. The 42-year-old ex-quarterback appears to have much more hair on his scalp than he did in the last few years of his football career.

Drew Brees has not publicly addressed the speculation about his hairline. However, this has not stopped his fans from discussing whether or not Drew has undergone a hair transplant to restore his hairline.

Even though there is not an exact moment or date where the change is hairline started to become quite noticeable, some of his fans began to detect a change in the look of his hair during the summer of 2020 (before the start of the football season).

In July of last year, Brees released a video and that was one of the first times that the appearance of his hairline started to capture the attention of others. Football fans began to comment on the new look to his hair and wondered what he did to achieve the change in its appearance. After the video was released, he did not post many videos online. In the few pictures that he did post, he was always wearing a hair which made it difficult to tell if anything was happening with his hair.

Then, in August of last year, Drew Brees started to sport a shaved head which led to speculation that he had received a bad haircut. It is also a possibility that he decided to shave his head in order to have a hair transplant, but this is also speculation on the part of his fans.

The Continuing Mystery of Drew Brees’ Hairline

In February of this year, the NFL season ended but the questions were starting about the possible return of Drew Brees to the NFL. He released a video that showed him working out which made the public think he was returning to the NFL for another season. The video also caused a bit of discussion about how much more hair he had on his scalp.

At the same time, there was also some gossip about the star athlete transitioning to a broadcasting job with one of the major networks. The gossip eventually became a fact as Brees became the former quarterback for the Saints when he announced his retirement on March 14th.

Drew Brees, and His Improved Hairline, in the Broadcast Booth

When Drew made his debut as an NBC football announcer on September 9th, the appearance of his hair went viral again since the new TV announcer was now sporing a full head of hair. Football fans took to Twitter to make jokes and share comments about the new look for the former quarterback. They remarked on how the biggest “comeback” of his career was his hairline instead of happening during a game.

He has only been on the air for a few weeks as a TV announcer and his hair continues to make more of an impact on those watching the game than what he is saying about the game. It is not surprising that people are caught off guard by his appearance since they are so used to seeing him with a balding scalp both on, and off, the field.

Hair Transplant – How it Works

Patients that are experiencing balding or thinning areas on the scalp can visit a doctor that is board-certified and experienced in performing hair transplants. The surgeon can examine the scalp of the patient to determine the cause of the hair loss along with the best treatment option.

A hair transplant is when hair grafts are taken from a donor area on the body (which is usually the back or sides of the scalp). The hair grafts are removed from the donor area and then transplanted into pre-made incisions in the scalp. The hair grafts will grow like the native hair on the scalp and provide the patient with a fuller and more youthful look to the hairline.

It is not known for certain if Drew Brees had a hair transplant, but the new appearance of his hairline seems to point to that conclusion. Until he decides to comment on the issue to the public, the answer about his hairline will remain a mystery.

Gold Chains in the Scalp – A Hair Transplant First

A hair transplant is exactly what the name of the procedure says: Hair is transplanted from the body of the patient into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. However, a rapper recently took the idea of a hair transplant to an entirely different (and unexpected) level by having gold chains placed in his scalp rather than hair grafts from his body.

Dan Sur and His Golden Head

Dan Sur is a 23-year-old rapper, and his new look is one that has caught many people by surprise. He claims to be the “first rapper…in human history” to have gold chains implanted into the scalp to serve as his “hair”. In other words, he now has gold chains that are hanging from his scalp. The gold chains hang from hooks that Dan Sur had surgically implanted into his scalp.

The rapper has 1.9-million followers on TikTok which is where he has been discussing his decision to have the gold chains placed in his scalp. “The truth is that I wanted to do something different because I see that everyone dyes their hair. I hope not everyone copies me now.”

The dozens of gold chains were put in place back in April and some of the chains are even encrusted with bling. “I have it as a hook that is implanted in my head and that hook has hooks and they are all hooked in my skull, under my skin. This is my hair. Golden hair. The first rapper to have gold hair implanted in human history.”

Inspiration behind the Golden Hair of Dan Sur

The reason behind his decision to have gold chain hooked into his scalp has been debated by the media. Some media outlets are sharing the opinion that Dan Sur was inspired by another rapper, Lil Uzi Vert, who went viral earlier this year by having a “natural” pink diamond embedded into his forehead. It is estimated that he spent 24-million dollars on the diamond.

FYI: Lil Uzi Vert might be reconsidering that idea as he claims a fan ripped the diamond out of his forehead at a music festival in July. He was able to make his way into the crowd and retrieve the diamond. As he told TMZ, “I’m feeling good. I still have the diamond, so I feel good.” Even though there have been some comparisons between the gold chains in the scalp and the diamond in the forehead, Sur considers his golden locks to be a unique idea.

Hair Transplant of Hair Grafts (Not Gold Chains)

While the idea to have gold chains placed in the scalp is certainly interesting and unique and one that is hard to miss, the majority of people interested in having a hair transplant simply want to have normal hair growth as the final result of their procedure.

During Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, the hair grafts that are transplanted into the scalp are individually removed from the donor area on the body. The donor area is usually the back and sides of the scalp as the hair in this area of the body has been shown to be resistant to balding.

If there is not enough high-quality donor hair on the back and sides of the scalp, the surgeon will then take hair grafts from other areas of the body. Some of the most popular choices include the hair that is found in the beard and the chest of the patient. Since the hair grafts are removed individually from the donor section of the body, there is not a linear scar that can make it obvious to others that a hair transplant was performed.

The hair grafts are placed inside premade incisions in the scalp in order to give the patient a fuller hairline and a greater amount of density when it comes to their head of hair. The hair grafts are not just randomly inserted in the scalp. They are strategically placed so they are able to effectively match the natural curvature of the hair of the person.

Patients will see an early amount of hair growth within two or three months and the final results will become visible within 12-18 months.

During the appointment, our medical team will examine the current hairline of the person as well as perform tests to determine the cause of the hair loss. Our doctors will also discuss the reasons why the person wants to have a hair transplant and the desired final results of the patient. It is important to set realistic expectations when it comes to the final results so the patient will have a clear idea of the hair growth they can expect when it comes to their hair restoration procedure.
