"I'm Dr. Jeffrey Epstein of the Foundation for Hair Restoration with offices in South Florida and New York. Let's talk about the success rates of hair transplants. This is a great procedure because performed properly the success rate is incredibly high. In my case, example, over 6,500 procedures performed, our success rate and measured in terms of patient satisfaction is that over 98% of our patients convey that they are very or extremely happy with their results. Why is this success rate so high? Well, it's a very straightforward procedure. We're basically taking hair from the back, putting it up into areas where there is a lack of hair, once put there, the hair should grow, 95% at least 90% sometimes as much as 95% of the hairs will grow. When they grow, the patient's going to look better. If it's done properly, it's going to look aesthetic and therefore undetectable. Overall, this is a great procedure with a very high level of patient satisfaction."
