    In term of lighting and photography, I have consulted a professional photographer by the name of Keith Moreau, the owner of Silver Spot Media from Brisbane, California, who works on commercial for Virgin Airline and other big projects. You can google him for further information. Per his quote, "Dear Dr. Diep, You have sent me 2 photos to review and access as a professional photographer. I have looked through the 2 photos, before and after, you sent of this patient. As you mentioned, the first photo was done in a different environment than the the second, though both were done with the same camera. From what I can tell, the ambient light on both photos is about the same. In the before shot, the ambient light is slightly more diffused but that isn't significant. Both look like they were taken with a direct flash, as you can see from the reflection on the forehead and the quick falloff of light away from the center of the photo. I don't think that using a photo flash or any difference ambient light is causing these photos to be significantly different in showing the hair density, the photos are quite similar. Regards, Keith Moreau, Owner of Silverspot Media." In term of the after care, I do check and see my patient off at the end of the day. I am available to my patient. My cell phone is printed on the first page of the post op package. We do provide hair wash the next three days and answer any question. I am available to my patient if they call and request to talk to the doctor with appointment time. I can not abandon my patient and leave the surgery room to talk. I can and will talk to any of my client with appointment time so that I can be certain to be free at that specific time. I have always care for my patient well being from the beginning to the end of surgery including the follow up. If my clients have further issue, I prefer they contact me directly by calling to make an appointment to talk with me or call my cell and leave a message so that I can call back when I am available. I welcome constructive criticism in order to provide better service and more satisfaction for my clients.

    I have been performing FUE hair transplant surgery for 10 years eversince my Fellowship training. During the surgery, I will numb the patient up, design the hairline, harvest the hair graft one at a time and make site. When harvesting the hair graft, I personally score and push the harvesting instrument into the scalp to extract the graft at a precise angle with precise pressure. My hair technicians will then use their forceps to pull/pluck/collect those hair grafts that have been drilled out by me earlier. My technicians do not score or extract the hair grafts, because they do not know the angle or the pressure to harvest the hair grafts intact. All my technicians do is gently pull or scoop to collect those hair grafts that have been drilled out by me earlier. The reason for the good consistent hair transplant result is because the hair grafts which I personally score and extract out are healthy and intact with low transection rate. We do not split the grafts, keeping the grafts intact tend have higher growth rate. The other important factor to increase yield is to create recipient sites precisely around the same size as the hair grafts so that there will be less struggle to place the hair grafts in. With less struggle to place the hair grafts in, then there will be less damage to the grafts, leading to better growth. I do not place the hair grafts into the recipient site. All the hair grafts placement are being done by my hair technicians. FUE result is extremely dependent on how healthy the hair grafts being extracted intact by the surgeon. Since I perform FUE at least 4 times per week, not once a month, consistently for many years, I believe my skill improve through the years. In term of the lighting, I believe that the more flash you use, the less dense the hair will look. The darker the room and less lighting would probably make the hair appear more dense. When taking photos, I always use flash on both the before and after photos to be consistent. All of my photos and videos are raw and unedited. They are untouched. The professional photographers can take one look at my photos and videos and be able to tell that they are real, legit and never been changed with consistent lighting or flash of both the before and after photos. I have attached the video link of this client on Youtube for the audience to see.

    Unexpected hair transplant results can vary from one individual to another. It does not solely depend on the work of the doctor. Some of the contributing factors could be from: 1) the way clients take care of their transplanted hair post – surgery; 2) sometime one surgery was not enough to produce the desired density; 3) side effects of hair transplant. As for this client of mine, I found there are many factors she encountered which may affect her hair results. These factors are: 1) patient wears wig after surgery (when told not to); 2) side effect: folliculitis; 3) patient did not transplant enough hair grafts due to budget issue. I noticed that it is common among some African American women to wear wig. With all my female patients, especially African American, I always emphasize on NOT wearing wigs post-surgery. Despite of the instruction, she continued to wear wig over the transplanted area, which may have inhibited some hair growth. Furthermore, wig wearing can increase chance of folliculitis. Folliculitis whether caused by wearing a wig or not, will affect hair growth adversely. She also applied castor oil to the recipient area. Castor oil increases moisture to the scalp which will lead to higher chance of folliculitis. Last, but not least, due to patient’s financial circumstances, she was not able to get the number of grafts recommended. This may result in lower hair density. In comparison to men, women tend to require more than one surgery to have better hair density. This is from my practice experience. All of my patients always have take home antibiotic post- surgery to help reduce any chance of infection. However, folliculitis, though very rare, is hard to predict and can occur anytime within the year after surgery as the transplanted hairs continue to sprout out. I have reached out to my client and have addressed her concerns. We have formulated a plan for her situation. No patients of mine will be left without my continuous patient care and support.
