Dr. Keller of North Shore Hair Transplant Specialists has over 11 years of experience in hair transplantation and performs hair transplants exclusively at his clinic located in Chicago, IL.
Why Dr. Keller is recommended.
Dr. Keller has the experience and staff to perform over 3000 follicular unit grafts using ultra refined follicular unit grafting in a single session when appropriate for the hair transplant patient. He also only performs surgery on one patient per day at his hair restoration clinic in Chicago in order to grant full attention to his patient.
Dr. Keller believes in maintaining a level of flexibility in hair transplantation recognizing the uniqueness of each hair transplant patient. His extremely meticulous nature drives him to pay special attention to detail. Dr. Keller uses all single haired follicular units to create a natural hairline in order to properly frame the face and produces a natural crown swirl using a mix of larger and smaller follicular unit grafts to mimic nature.
I learned that though Dr. Keller uses varying cutting instruments to make recipient incisions depending on the area of the scalp and patient’s needs, he tends to favor sharp point precut blades as small as .75mm for 1 and 2 haired follicular unit grafts. In order to follow the natural direction of the hair, Dr. Keller often creates incisions at an angle somewhere between a sagital and coronal incision. Adjustments are made accordingly in order to follow the natural flow and direction of the hair while minimizing transection of the existing native hair.
Dr. Keller uses a single blade to excise the donor area to minimize transection and uses the trichophytic closure technique to close the donor area in order to help properly camouflage the scar. Follicular unit grafts are dissected with a microscope by his highly trained hair transplant technicians of up to 11+ years experience and then placed into recipient sites under Dr. Keller’s personal supervision.

What is the Best Hairline Design for a Hair Transplant? - 8/13/2010
Hairlines are often created differently with different ethnic hair styles, head shapes, degrees of balding and the patient’s desires taken into consideration. In my practice, a patient’s hairline usually follows their natural hairline prior to hair loss.
