Frequently Asked Questions

Why Choose Neograft For Your Hair Transplant?

Creating discrete, natural-looking results, the NeoGraft hair transplant system is an automated process using Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE. Specifically, the NeoGraft method involves removing individual hair follicles from the back of an individual’s head or donor area. The follicles are extracted in their original groupings of 1 to 4 hairs, and they are intentionally implanted in the areas where hair loss has occurred. Given the experience and expertise of Dr. Ben Talei at Beverly Hills Hair Group, the NeoGraft system offers expedient harvesting and implantation of hair follicles with greater healing times and maximum hair regrowth for the long-term results that patients deserve.

What is the difference between Hairline Lowering Foreheadplasty and Hair Transplantation?

The Hairline Lowering procedure is used to remove excessive scalp skin from the frontal head in order to shorten the height of the forehead. This is used in patients with very stable hairlines and nice density. This procedure is typically more appropriate from women than men because of that. The gain in hairline advancement is typically between 2-4cm for most patients. Hair transplantation at this point in time involves sharing density of hair from the sides and the back of the head up to the top of the head. Follicular Unite Extraction (FUE) or the Strip Technique (FUT) can both be used to obtain the grafts needed. The follicular grafts can then be placed to lower the hairline, change the hairline design, and increase overall density of hair in the scalp. This is a better option for patients with continuing hair loss.

What is a Lip Lift?

There are many forms of lip lifting procedures for the upper lip. Most surgeons rarely perform these procedures, so they hesitate to perform them in order to avoid unsightly scarring in their patients. Older forms of lip lifts focused on lifting the lip at the vermillion lip border. This would leave them with a poorly defined lip border with blunted definition and a never-ending need for makeup. Newer techniques have emerged recently, which are better able to improve the appearance of the upper lip and mouth. Procedures like corner lip lifts are used judiciously in older patients to lift the corners of the mouth. Although the gull wing and bull’s horn upper lip lifts were utilized sparingly in the past, newer modifications have made this a truly stunning procedure.

Why would I need a Lip Lift?

This procedure may benefit younger and older patients alike. In younger patients, the procedure is typically used to avoid obtaining a plastic appearance with fillers. It is important to understand that not all lips will benefit from fillers. The lift gives the upper lip a lighter and more defined appearance with greater volume and tooth show. As you age, the upper lip loses volume and increases in length. When performed in older patients, the lift helps restore a more youthful facial balance and sensuality around the mouth. It also works wonders for improving lost lip volume as well as lipstick bleed lines and wrinkles.

How do I restore my hair?

At Beverly Hills Center, Dr. Ben Talei is renowned for creating natural results using distinguished techniques in Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections. With utmost precision and artistry, Dr. Talei has also invested in the advanced NeoGraft Hair Transplant technology.
