This post is to show the results of two facial hair transplants I had done by Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. Dr. Epstein transplanted 1,700 grafts in the first transplant, and an additional 1,500 in the second. I went from having a scraggly thin beard to having a first class beard. The procedures were nearly painless. I'd say completely painless but the shots to numb the donor and recipient area stung a little, but nothing bad at all. Dr. Epstein and his whole staff treated me like a king from the time I entered his office till days after the procedure. Dr. Epstein knows his profession and his results speak for themselves. I know I'm happy with my results.

I had my procedures done, first because I've always admired a good looking beard and have always wanted a nice beard too. Second, because I'm a professional Santa who visits with children in Hospice and various charity works, and if I'm going out as Santa to a child who is likely having their last Christmas in this life, I want to look and be as much like Santa as I can be. Yes, I also do paying jobs, but the ones that pay me the most are ones where the families NEED encouragement and something to ease their burdens, even if only for an hour or two. Thanks to Dr. Epstein and his expertise with hair transplantation, I can do this for the children.

I don't know how to add more than one picture, so I'll post the one that shows the results I've experienced after having my transplant procedures.

God bless, and feel free to contact me if you'd like to know more.

Awesome Work--both what you do for children and families and what Dr. Epstein did for you.

Glad to hear you are happy and love the pic Santa!

If I could donate my facial hair to you, I would give you all of it (don't like shaving)!!

Hey Santa, Can I have before pictures for X-mas?

Great looking beard you got there!

A couple questions for you Santa (hope you don't mind me saying that, I'd say you earned the name with your work, however)

1) Where is your donor? Was all your donor extracted from your scalp, or elsewhere?

2) If your scalp donor grew well on your face, do you think the opposite would be true as well, beard donor onto ones scalp?

Again, congrats on the beard! I see Dr. Epstein is becoming quite good at chest hair transplants and facial hair transplants.

wylie,

I understand what you are getting at, and the answer is that the characteristics of facial hair (coarseness and shape of hair follicle, etc.)are somewhat different to scalp hair and I believe (not entirely sure) that it is not advisable to transplant hair from the face to the scalp.
