Are there limits?
Hair Transplants is an exciting field to work in everyday. It is one of the most evolving and cutting edge fields. New limits are reached everyday.
Many surgeons are now doing between 3000-6000 grafts/session. The density has increased from 20 grafts /cm² to 100 grafts / cm², where a few years ago 500-1000 grafts / session was an average surgery. Despite these technical advances, what I find the most enjoyable part is the artistic component. There is no other surgery that requires such a large degree of artistic component on behalf of the surgeon as does hair transplants.
Everyday, new patients come to my office with a completely different look, different ethnicity, and different expectations. Once finished, I view that hair transplant more as an art work that walks out of my office.
This is why I think there are no limits to both our technical achievements, and our artistic skills. Art is a part of nature.
