Question: Because I'm African-American, is there anything specific about hair transplantation that I need to know?

Answer: We have achieved excellent results for many African American patients. There are certain techniques which need to be used when preparing and transplanting the grafts since the hair can be so curly. We also perform additional testing to check for the possibility of keloidal scarring, though fortunately keloid scarring rarely occurs, even in those with a history of forming them, when the proper surgical technique is used.
