HAIR REPLACEMENT
Mayer Flap Procedure
For patients with extensive frontal baldness, Dr. Toby G. Mayer, M.D., F.A.C.S., offers his signature Mayer Flap technique - a renowned procedure that restores a full head of hair using the patient's own follicles at natural density.
-
Comprehensive restoration: A second flap may be performed if baldness is more extensive.
-
Scalp elasticity considerations: In some cases, a tissue expander may be placed beforehand to ensure optimal results.
-
Finishing touch: Micrografts (1–3 hairs per graft) are often used to refine and soften the hairline for the most natural appearance.
-
Immediate Results: No need to wait for the hair to grow. This offers better density, more fullness and no texture change that you get with hair transplants
Hair Transplants
For patients with less severe baldness or those seeking a more gradual change, hair transplants can be a great option.
-
Micrografts: 1–3 hairs per graft, ideal for detailed hairline work.
-
Versatility: These grafts can be placed anywhere on the scalp where hair loss has occurred.
Though this method may provide less density than the Mayer Flap procedure, many patients prefer its minimally invasive nature and gradual transformation.
