Renew Your Confidence with a Hair Transplant in NYC

Because Ziering Surgeons are equally and expertly skilled in performing both surgical techniques, you can trust that they will recommend the best procedure for your situation. Each hair transplant and treatment plan includes long and short-term hair restoration goals and is designed by your selected surgeon. 

FUE requires that the back and sides of your head be shaved short and is minimally invasive. It involves directly harvesting follicular units one at a time from the safe donor area and transplanting them into the recipient sites created by your surgeon in your areas with hair thinning or loss. This method doesn’t leave a linear scar and requires less downtime. 

MDEE, on the other hand, only requires shaving a smaller area of the safe donor zone on the back of the head and removing an elliptical-shaped strip of skin. This donor strip is an abundant source of robust hair grafts. The strip is slivered and the hair grafts are then dissected using specialized microscopes. When the graft dissection and preparation are completed, they are transplanted into the balding thinning zones matching the angle, orientation, and direction of the recipient sites that your surgeon made according to your unique hair transplant design. 

This technique results in a linear scar, but it’s usually very thin, nearly invisible, and can be easily concealed by surrounding hair. It also delivers a high yield of grafts and doesn’t require the head to be shaved short so it’s preferred by women, men who don’t want to shave their hair for surgery, and men who opt to wear their hair longer.

During your hair restoration consultation your Ziering surgeon will examine your hair and scalp and your medical history, and recommend the best approach to achieve your goals, including which surgical procedure is best suited for you at this time and stage of your hair loss. 

Hair transplanted through FUE or MDEE is typically permanent and should last a lifetime. The donor grafts used in transplantation are genetically resistant to DHT, the hormone that causes male and female pattern hair loss. 

Once the transplanted hair follicles take root and start growing in their new location, they should continue to grow just like your natural hair following the normal hair growth cycle of growing, resting and shedding. However, it’s important to keep in mind that aging and other factors, like genetics, can affect your existing hair over time. Being consistent with hair loss prevention such as oral or topical medications, laser therapy and even growth factors is key for keeping your healthy and growing. Maintain a lifestyle that promotes your personal health and well-being by exercising, eating a balanced diet, managing your stress, getting enough sleep and staying hydrated. You may be required to get follow-up treatments to maintain your desired look. 

With modern techniques like FUE, scarring is minimal and not noticeable. MDEE may leave a thin linear scar, but it’s typically concealed by surrounding hair.

The cost of a hair transplant depends on factors like the extent of your hair loss, the number of grafts required, and the surgical technique used. To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to schedule a consultation where we can personalize the procedure to meet your specific needs.

The duration of a hair transplant varies, but it typically takes between 6 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity and extent of the procedure. 

Both FUE and MDEE hair restoration work for various types of hair loss, including pattern baldness, traction alopecia, and hair loss caused by physical trauma. During your consultation at our clinic, your Ziering Surgeon will determine the best approach for your specific situation and whether you’re a good candidate for surgery.
