Hair transplantation can be a life-changing surgery that unlocks fresh confidence and rejuvenation. It requires the precision and artistry of an exceptional surgeon to delicately place hair follicles and create a natural-looking hairline. However, the majority of popular hair restoration procedures are performed by doctors or hair experts who are not trained in plastic surgery or microsurgery.
Dr. Rawnsley is one of the leading surgeons in the field of microsurgical hair transplantation to restore hair loss. As a double-board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rawnsley’s surgical training and background place him in a class all his own amongst hair restoration surgeons. If your experiencing hair loss or thinning, you may be a good candidate for one of Dr. Rawnsley’s advanced hair transplant techniques.
Masterful Technique, Exceptional Results
*Individual results may vary
Is FUE right for me?
Hair loss treatment shouldn’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Historically, FUT (follicular unit transplantation), or strip transplantation, was the standard technique. However, FUE (follicular unit extraction) has made hair restoration accessible to patients who might not have been eligible for traditional methods. For the majority of Dr. Rawnsley’s hair loss patients, FUE offers fast, effective, safe treatment for hair loss.
You may be the right candidate for FUE if you:
- Are experiencing pattern baldness or hair thinning and loss
- Have enough healthy, viable hair in from the donor area
- Have undergone previous strip harvesting and whose scalp is now too tight for the older method
What Can FUE Hair Transplant Surgery Do?
Create a hairline that promotes facial symmetry and restores youthfulness. The highly custom nature of FUE enables your surgeon to carefully place hairs to mimic the slightly irregular, organic shape of your hairline.
Renew hair density in the front and sides of your scalp. FUE allows you to redistribute healthy hair follicles from genetically stable areas of your scalp to thinning areas to increase your hair thickness.
Your transplanted hairs will naturally fall out a few weeks after surgery, as they make room for new hairs to grow. This stimulates long-lasting hair growth in the months and years to come.
Balancing artistry
& precision
Dr. Rawnsley’s unique combination of technical skills and artistry enables him to provide the best possible result with the fullest and most natural-looking head of hair. Among the many factors unique to each patient, Dr. Rawnsley takes into consideration hair directionality, the fineness of hair in the frontal hairline, and the natural micro-variations in the hairline. His deep understanding of natural hair growth patterns and masterful surgical skills enable him to produce undetectable results that speak for themselves.
FUE Hair Transplant Benefits
No Scars or Stitches
FUE produces scar-free results by individually harvesting the hair follicles instead of strips of hair. While FUE will leave microscopic dot scars, they quickly heal and become undetectable compared to the sutures and scars involved in the FUT method, or strip harvest technique. This guarantees you can still wear your hair short without being self-conscious.
Quick Recovery
FUE hair transplantation is an out-patient procedure performed in Dr. Rawnsley’s state-of-the-art facilities in West Los Angeles. The procedure is done under local anesthesia over a period of 4-6 hours, and you’ll be able to drive home afterward. There’s less recovery time and fewer restrictions, so you can resume your activities soon after your hair transplant surgery.
Undetectable Results
Natural looking hair transplant surgery is more than just restoring your hairline. It’s guided by the artful eye of a surgeon who makes microscopic incisions that match the distinct angles of your natural hair follicles and follow the organic patterns of your hairline. This transformative of a hair transplant surgery can only be done by a master facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Rawnsley.
Your Real Hair
During your procedure, Dr. Rawnsley will harvest individual grafts of your healthy hair to carefully place in areas of the scalp that are thinning or balding. These grafts will be taken from genetically stable portions of hair on the back and sides of the head. In the months to come after your surgery, the harvested follicles will grow into healthy hairs to restore the density of your hairline.

Preparation
Preparing well for your hair restoration ensures the surgery goes well and you recover smoothly.

He’ll give you clear instructions on what to eat and drink before and after, including fasting before your procedure. You must be off any blood-thinning medications for 10 days prior to surgery, including ibuprofen and aspirin.
Surgical Process
The morning of the procedure, Dr. Rawnsley will meet with you in his clinic. You’ll receive local anesthesia so the pain will be minimal as Dr. Rawnsley carefully extract your donor hair follicles. Next, Dr. Rawnsley will artfully create the receptor sites while the experienced surgical staff prepares the hair grafts. Finally, the surgical staff will delicately place the grafts into the receptor sites under Dr. Rawnsley’s supervision. The entire procedure should be a comfortable experience, during which you will be able to eat lunch, fall asleep, talk with our surgical staff, watch a movie, listen to music, or just relax.
Care & Recovery
The day after surgery you’ll be able to resume your daily activities with only a few limitations, including restrictions from strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. After 3 days, you can wear a hat and do a pour over hair wash. After 10 days, you may resume normal hair washing. In approximately three months the new hair will start to grow and after six months, you can expect full growth from your transplanted hair. Most people will not realize that you are growing new hair, as the new growth is gradual and will continue to produce hair for a lifetime.
