Dr. Lam discusses basic postoperative care instructions but focuses on realistic ideas of when hair should start growing in the majority of patients following a hair transplant procedure. This video is only intended for Dr. Lam’s patients and not meant to give universal guarantees but expected guidelines of timing.
I am very proud of our sell-out first year last year in which Emina and I co-directed our First Annual Hair Restoration course for budding hair transplant surgeons in St. Louis. We have a stellar course lined up this year that is quadruple the size of last year with two levels for physicians and two levels for assistants. I have also enlisted talented faculty and truly look forward to having another sell-out year. If any physician or assistant is interested in training at our 2010 course to be held from July 23-25 (see the course description below), please contact St. Louis University directly for enrollment opportunities.
Best wishes,
Dr. Samuel Lam
Hair Transplant Course Coordinator
Dallas hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Sam Lam, would like to wish his hair transplant coordinator, Emina aka Yoda, a very special happy birthday!

Hair Transplant per graft costs are a major concern for my prospective patients. In this video, I try to explain my philosophy regarding how I view this important subject. Hopefully, I can explain it better in this video than I can in a written text:
Dallas hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Sam Lam, describes the nuances of a female hairline to better understand how to perform a natural female hair transplant using the principles outlined in this video:
Is bigger better? I personally do not think so. Too many hair transplant outfits are focused on volume. More and more people driven through the mill. As a hair transplant surgeon, I am adamantly opposed to this philosophy, especially when it comes to the discipline of hair transplant surgery. I truly believe that hair restoration must be a slow processed, customized care plan in which one procedure is done a day by the same staff so that rigorous quality control can be maintained. I don’t know another way, and I do not envision myself every knowing or wanting another way. Here is a short video to summarize my thoughts.
In my effort to educate the public on the facts of what I know as a hair transplant surgeon, I have come up with a video to discuss one particular part of the scalp, the lateral hump, in great detail to offer the thoughts of how I see restoration of the lateral hump as part of a successful hair transplant procedure in late stage hair loss and how to have enough reserve to restore this area in the future as needed. I also cover the topic of the cascade effect and the combover as well as the reverse combover, and what those terms mean.
The art of hair restoration and hair transplant requires an excellent understanding of how hair grows on each part of the head. I have devised a method of thinking of how the hair grows in each part of the scalp based on using a box model. The box shows the vertical planes of the scalp and the horizontal planes of the scalp and the transition zones between them. This model will be featured in my upcoming new book to be published by Elsevier in 2010, entitled Aging Face: The New Paradigm.
