Dr. Takata and I just attended the ISHRS meeting in Brazil, where we both participated as Faculty on various topics, such as hair transplantation on afro hair and grey hair.

At the same time, we are always learning and connecting with friends and colleagues. These meetings are the best in collegiality.

This patient presented with a scalp scar following excision of a prior tumor.

Given the characteristics of scar tissue, we opted for hair transplantation using follicular units harvested from the posterior scalp.

The recipient site was prepared with autologous fat grafting a few weeks prior to transplantation to support vascularization and improve tissue quality.

Each graft was then individually selected and placed, respecting direction, angle, and density to optimize integration and achieve a natural result.

In scar tissue, careful planning and attention to detail are key determinants of successful outcomes.

Have you ever wondered about what happens right after an FUE procedure? Dr. Takata had a follow up appointment from a patient who had hair transplant surgery the day before. He returned for the standard next-day wash.
The donor area already looked clean; those tiny extraction spots usually heal in 2–3 days and soon fade. The recipient area will have crusts for about 10–15 days. After that, some shedding can occur, but the graft bulbs are still there. Expect the first hairs at around three months, a clearer result at six months, and the final outcome at one year.
Sharing these steps and timelines with patients makes recovery less stressful. What part of the post-op timeline do you find most surprising?

Hair Transplant in progress…

03/16/2026

Our patient came to the office for a 6-month follow-up after a hair transplantation.
In this case, he received a total of 4,500 grafts to achieve this level of density and coverage. Dr. Mejia performed a Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) procedure to rebuild his hairline and crown.

Now that the hair has grown in, you can see how much thicker and more natural his hair looks from every angle. Even with an FUT procedure, a specialized "trichophytic closure" technique ensures the donor scar is virtually undetectable, even when the hair is combed through.

If you are experiencing hair loss and are ready to restore your confidence, contact us for a consultation to determine your needs. As Dr. Mejia mentioned in the video, each case is different. He performs FUE, FUT, and even combo FUE and FUT hair transplant surgery.

He was honored with a plaque as Past President of the ISHRS as well as cutting the ribbon in the opening ceremony for the event. But mostly, as always, it's the collegiality and continual learning and sharing ideas that drive him.
