Dr. Kabaker has been recommended on the Hair Transplant Network for several years.

Dr. Sheldon Kabaker is renown among hair restoration physicians for his superb surgical skill, which he developed and refined over the past thirty years.

During my visit he and his staff performed a small session of 1,100 grafts into a patient's crown area. Dr. Kabaker removed the donor strip using a single bladed knife and then did a double layer closure so that the internal sutures would reduce tension on the skin level external sutures. He believes this produces a minimal donor scar. He then used a 19 gauge needle to create graft incisions of about 0.9 millimeters in size.

In addition to the quality follicular unit grafting that he performs, Dr. Kabaker has developed a reputation for being an expert at female hairline lowering (see example show in this photo album).

This can be a cost effective surgical solution for women who have naturally high hairline that they want lowered. Many women feel that the high hairline makes them look masculine or older. This is not due to hair loss but rather their heredity.

Although transplanting hair to recreate a lower hairline is an option, such transplantation normally requires multiple sessions to create a hairline that is sufficiently dense.

Dr. Kabaker's hairline lowering surgery lowers a person's hairline in one session. This out patient surgical hairline procedure involves excising excess tissue immediately below the existing hairline and then moving the hairline forward and down. He uses a trychophytic closure so that the hair will grow up and through the scar thus hiding the incision/scar.

This procedure can also be combined with a browlift to give the patient additional benefits.

Pat,

Thanks for writing a detailed review of your visitation with Dr. Kabaker. The surgical photos you have taken look like good solid follicular unit hair transplantation.

Did you get a chance to meet with any of his patients during your stay?

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of his patients posting their results on our forum and I would love to see some of them.

Best wishes,

Falc

Isn't lowering the hairline as described filled with risk? That's a major surgery. Many of these risks were discussed here:

M & M,

I agree that this hairline lowering is totally inappropriate for men with a receding hairline. Dr. Kabaker typically only performs this procedure on women with stable hairlines who have naturally had a life long high hairline.

He also has a life time of facial plastic surgery experience that not only minimizes the risk of complications, but gives him the judgment to chose only appropriate candidates.

But while the risks are reduced they still exist. My sense is that Dr. Kabaker is good about divulging these risks.

Gorpy, I'll take any compliment I can get. By the way, I looked at your album and I really like the balanced and natural look of your hairline. No wonder you are such a strong believer in Dr. Keene.

Good results from what I can tell. It is just weird that every time ANY doctor showcases a female HT the before pic never shows the patient wearing makeup and she always has makeup in after HT pics.

Hi Pat,

Are there any after pics available of the patient who got 1100 grafts in the crown?

Thanks.

Imun,

I recall sending Dr. Kabaker an email some time ago asking if he has any updated photos showing this patient's result. I don't recall receiving the photos, but I'll send him another email and ask him to send them to us if he has them. If so, I'll update the album for everyone.

Thanks for asking,

Bill (Falc)

Sounds good, will be looking forward to those pics.

Thanks Falc.

Imun,

I did hear back from Dr. Kabaker and he doesn't have follow-up photos at this time. However, he said he'd contact the patient to see if he'd be willing to come in for follow-up photos. However, I believe he said the patient lives quite a distance. But at least maybe the patient will be wiling to take some updated photos and email them to Dr. Kabaker. I guess we'll just wait and see.

Thanks for your interest,

Bill (Falc)
