If
you've been looking into hair transplantation then seriously consider Dr.
Giannotto's track record with the Hair Restoration Medical Group at
New England Associates®.
At New England Associates®,
Dr.
Richard Giannotto of the Hair
Restoration Medical Group is one of the only surgeons in
the New England Area exclusively performing hair
restoration surgery. He founded the Hair Restoration Group in 1989 and with over
35,000 procedures performed, his philosophy holds
true: Every patient is unique, and every hair transplant must be tailored to
that individual, making each hair transplant procedure an actual work of art. As
a recognized leader in the industry, Dr. Giannotto continues to put the “art” in
the art of hair restoration surgery.
Surgical
emphasis is on true follicular unit grafting with microscopic dissection and
occasionally using a mixed unit grafting when indicated. Follicular unit
extraction may also be an option on smaller cases and can be discussed
thoroughly at your medical consultation. Please take a moment
to view a few of Dr. Giannotto's patient photos in the
photo gallery
of this web site.
In hair
restoration, your surgeon is the key to exceptional results. Successful hair
restoration depends on age, amount of donor hair available and your goals and
expectations. But most importantly, it relies on the artistic abilities of the
physician. Creativity and experience mean the difference between results that
everyone "sees" and results that just look great. Although it may be considered
a minor surgical procedure, Dr. Giannotto's mastery of the technique ensures you
a softened, naturalized hairline. We find that approximately 88% of clients are
good candidates for this procedure. Find out if it might be right for you.
First your consultation and computerized microscopic
analysis.
Because each person has unique hair loss concerns, needs, and expectations,
the consultation is the first and one of the most important steps in your hair
loss assessment. We understand that hair loss is a sensitive and personal issue.
That's why our consultations are private and confidential.
We understand that many people are anxious about discussing their hair loss
and they want information without feeling pressured. That's why our
office atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and our consultations are in depth
and tailored to each person’s particular needs. We get to know you, and want you
to be confident with us and your hair restoration decisions.
You will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Giannotto and a highly
experienced medical advisor who will answer your questions and provide you with
the most current information on hair loss and treatment alternatives.
We will perform a microscopic computerized hair analysis and
your specific hair loss situation is evaluated with regard to hair color,
texture, curl, and density. Your potential for future hair loss will also be
determined. Based on this evaluation as well as individual expectations, a
treatment plan will be outlined regarding medical, non medical or surgical
choices. If surgery is recommended, the total number of follicular units
required, the number of procedures, and the cost will be addressed.
You will be given the opportunity to meet with actual hair transplant
patients in various stages of his/her procedure. While before and after pictures
are very important, we encourage you to meet with as many patients as possible.
This way you can see the actual artistry behind each individual hair transplant
procedure.
What happens on the day of the
procedure?
• It is important to read the pre-operative instructions. Medications and
over-the-counter herbs and supplements are addressed, as
well as other helpful and required information.
• When you arrive you will meet the medical staff, and the areas to be
transplanted will be reviewed and drawn by Dr. Giannotto. The actual placement
and use of follicular unit or combination grafting will be discussed. You will
see where your new hair line will be created, or the exact placement of
follicular units for other various patterns.
• Donor Area. Defined as the area containing healthy hair follicles on
the back and sides of the head which are genetically programmed not to shed
• You will be given a mild sedative to help relieve any anxiety.
• Dr. Giannotto will personally perform and supervise the procedure.
• Micro dissection and placement of follicular units will begin. You will
find yourself quite relaxed and comfortable and will be able to enjoy a movie or
simply listen to music.
• Mantis® Microscope Advantages. Over 40% more grafts are yielded from
the donor area which allows for the highest growth survival rate of grafts. This
gives you the fullest and most natural looking hair and preserves donor supply
for future use.
• After your procedure, post-operative instructions will be reviewed in
written and oral format. No bandages are required. Please remember to bring a
baseball cap to wear home.
• The scalp is very vascular, so immediately after the follicular unit grafts
and micro-grafts are implanted, the surrounding tissue begins feeding the
transplanted follicle and healing begins.
After the procedure?
• If you so desire, you may return the next day for a shampoo. All
post-operative instructions will be thoroughly discussed again and all questions
answered.
• Sutures are removed 10-14 days later.
• Most of the hair stubble sheds after 2 weeks and the new hair begins
growing three to four months after the procedure. Participation in the
post-operative laser program optimizes healing and accelerates growth.
• Follow up visits are at 6 months or sooner upon request.
