Is a Hair Transplant Permanent?

Does the Hair Fall Out?

Due to his expertise and knowledge, the hairs transplanted by Dr. Bolton will be where he puts them for the rest of the patient’s life. The hair that is not transplanted, of course, may fall out in coming years, but hair transplants if done correctly are permanent.

The reason for this is because the replacement hair will be taken from a thin strip of tissue in the back of the head better known as the 'safe zone'. This area of tissue has been genetically preprogrammed not to fall out. This horse shoe ring of hair contains follicles that remain for a lifetime. That is why you don't have to worry about your transplanted hair falling out!

Temporary Hair Loss

Afer the procedure, the patient may experience hair shock where some hair may fall out because of the surgery but should return after approximately 6 months.

Worried About A Scar?

Scarring might be a concern with other less experienced doctors, but with Dr. Bolton you are in the hands of a highly skilled, experienced surgeon. Dr. Bolton performs more hair transplants a year than 90% of the hair transplant surgeons around the world. See some of Dr. Bolton's work on video:

Dr.Brett Bolton is the BEST hair transplants surge

VLADIMIR M.

I started loosing my hair about 5 years ago and I had to do something about it. FUE was the method that I thought would be the best(so called scarless.not true,you get a lot of small scars).To be fair the doctor I picked did as good job as FUE could offer but the method does not give you enough hair,one year later I have had another FUE procedure... view more

HT with Dr. Brett Bolton was awesome!

Thomas K.

I had a H.T. with Dr. Brett Bolton about 18 mths ago and had a really great experience there- very happy with the results, especially with his ability to help conceal/blend a terrible, previous HT surgery I had with another doctor 20 years ago. It was such a difference, just wish I had gone to him the first time around. I'm getting ready to... view more

I visited dr. Bolton like many about my concerns about my thinning hair. I visited other hair restoration, but felt the most comfortable with Dr. Brett Bolton, josh and his professional staff.

First Hair Transplant

Andrew Cox

I had been experiencing hair loss for the past 10 years, my mid Twenties. I had been in denial of this fact, and family and friends, trying to be nice I guess, would confirm I was "crazy, you're not going bald!". I had researched hair transplants for years, and even had consultations with local hair doctors in my area.; Including the doctor who... view more

Highly recommend Dr. Brett Bolton!

Matthew G

From the moment I walked into Dr. Brett Bolton's office, I had a good feeling. Meeting with Josh and Dr. Brett Bolton for the first time only reinforced this feeling. They both gave me their undivided attention and answered all my questions. I was at a low point in my life as far as self-confidence due to my hair loss (which had seemingly sped up... view more

It was a blessing to find Greathairtransplants. I feel I made the right choice I have been looking into getting a procedure for a while now.

Change is on its Way

Karlos G

just had a procedure about 4 months ago with Great Hair Transplants and Im beginning to see growth in areas where I have not seen hair at in years! I decided to shave my head for a more evened out appearance. As you can see in the photos my hairline is begging to feel in. Im super excited for the best that is yet to come.

I reviewed other hair transplant doctors, and no one compared to Dr. Brett Bolton's compassion, friendly demeanor and great results.I had two procedures at Great Hair Transplants. I started noticing growth at about 6 months. I am very satisfied with my results. If you have any questions about my experience you can email me.

The Proof Is In My Results.

The results speak for itself. So glad to have had Dr. Brett Bolton do such a life changing procedure on my hair. The hair that has grown in is very lush and healthy. No one can tell or believes me when I tell them that I have had a hair transplant. It makes me feel younger and not a self conscious as I did prior to the procedure. I highly recommend... view more
