 Dean
is a 36 year old male who started losing his hair while in
his twenties. Trying to prevent his hair loss from impacting
his life, he sought out a transplant clinic in 1984 called
the Cleveland Hair Clinic. His first session cost him $2500
and seemed to go well. However after 1 year he had further
loss so needed more work done. He returned to the Cleveland
Hair Clinic in 1985 for another transplant procedure and paid
another $2500. At the time doctors were using plugs and the
procedure left him with open donor scarring from the way the
hairs were harvested. In 1986 after experiencing further loss
he had yet another procedure at Bosley in Los Angeles. This
procedure cost $3000 and left him with a pluggy looking hairline.
In 1989 he gave up and started wearing a hair piece. He had
been wearing the hairpiece without a problem ever since but
got tired of the daily maintenance needed to keep it looking
natural.
So
he started doing research on corrective procedures and ultimately
decided to go with New Hair Institute in Los Angeles. On October
27th of 2000 he took the first step towards reversing the
unnatural results of the previous transplants and to a truly
undetectable hair line.
The
old style plugs can clearly be seen which create a very unnatural
doll hair type hair line. This is common amongst people who
had procedures in the 1980s and earlier. Sadly some people
still are being operated on by surgeons using this archaic
procedure.

Dr.
McClellan has practiced general surgery in Utah and Wyoming
and was board certified by the American Board of Surgery in
1985. As a general surgeon, Dr. McClellan performed numerous
complex operations, but some of these procedures were performed
only a few times each year because the diseases involved were
rare. Dr. McClellan believed he needed to sub-specialize and
become highly skilled in a growing practice, and, in 1988,
he entered the hair transplantation field. He worked six years
as the Medical Director of a regional hair transplantation
center in Missouri that has a large national patient base,
and has been practicing hair transplantation full-time since
July, 1988. He has performed approximately 1000 procedures
each year since that time.
