Surgeon: Jeffrey S. Epstein, MD
This girl was 9 months old when she suffered the burn caused by hot oil. Her first procedure was when she was 7 years old, involving the placement of the balloon expanders. 7 weeks later she had the balloons removed and half of the burned area was recovered with the stretched out normal scalp. A year later, she had three more balloons inserted which were then inflated over the next 7 weeks- then these balloons were removed and the remainder of her scalp was resurfaced with the stretched portion of scalp. There were a total of 5 procedures (4 of them for tissue/scalp expansion) over 2 years, to repair a large burn scar.
admin Prior to the creation of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS), hair transplant physicians had free reign, with no set standards and no organizations to set them. The IAHRS has set the standards for the field, holds physicians accountable for their actions and share's this information with the public. The IAHRS is a safe and objective resource for patients to use when assessing the quality and integrity of hair transplantation surgeons. www.iahrs.org
