Los Angeles Hair Restoration: Asian Hair Transplantation with FUE

The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) surgery is a hair restoration and hair transplantation technique that is particularly advantageous for Asian patients because of their normally thick hair follicles. Therefore, traditional and older hair transplantation methods used for Asian hair often results in harsh hairlines. However, with FUE, finer hairs from the nape areas can now be taken to be used in the very front of the newly created hairline. This is not possible with the traditional strip hair transplantation surgical approach. In addition, Dr. Umar finds that Asian hair is one of the simplest type of hair to extract using his version of the follicular unit extraction method called Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET).

He has determined that Asian hair is typically thick compared to other races. Thus the transplanted hairline following a hair restoration surgery tends to have a harsh artificial quality. Dr. Umar solves this problem by utilizing softer hair from the nape areas. With this approach, Dr. Umar’s Asian hair transplants have consistently had outcomes with the most natural looking hairlines, often to the astonishment of the patient. Dr. Umar’s hair transplantation procedure was so natural that the patient in this picture has had a hard time convincing his professional barber that he has indeed had a hair transplant.

Dr. Umar sees a lot of Asian patients at his practice in Los Angeles, California, and his patients have travelled from faraway places such as Japan, Taiwan, to Orange county, san Francisco Bay Area and San Jose. Asian hair FUE is the easiest to perform when compared to other racial groups. This fact especially applies to East Asians (eg. Asians of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino descent). FUE – SFET and BHT can be safely and efficiently performed on all racial groups including Asians as well as African American and all people of color. Dr Umar has successfully performed linear scar free FUE – SFET surgery on numerous patients of African descent and Asians.
