San Diego Plastic Surgeon Offers Innovative Hair Restoration Option

LA JOLLA, CA, December 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Richard Chaffoo now offers hair transplant patients in San Diego a permanent solution to thinning hair and bald spots. NeoGraft is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an automated technique to collect and transplant hair follicles.

"I'm thrilled to be the only official NeoGraft provider in the San Diego area," Dr. Chaffoo says. "NeoGraft is the first FDA-approved automated hair transplantation system. It gives men and women an easy and effective solution to hair loss. Even people with curly hair can benefit from this innovative procedure for hair restoration in San Diego."

Dr. Chaffoo's outstanding background makes him the logical choice for anyone seeking help with balding, thinning hair or a receding hairline. In addition to his extensive experience with hair transplantation and restoration, he has been named one of the top plastic surgeons in the country by Castle Connolly, developers of the prestigious America's Top Doctors list.

With offices in La Jolla and Murrieta, Dr. Chaffoo brings his Stanford training and more than 28 years of experience to the art and science of cosmetic surgery. His impeccable credentials include certification by three of the country's top regulatory boards: The American Board of Plastic Surgery, American Board of Otolaryngology and American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Discerning men and women from all over Southern California turn to Dr. Chaffoo when they want state-of-the-art aesthetic surgery. Now, he has broadened the scope of his practice to become the first and only official provider of NeoGraft in San Diego.

"NeoGraft is the most advanced technique available for hair transplantation," Dr. Chaffoo says. "The procedure is faster and more effective than previous methods. There's very little discomfort for the patient, a short recovery time and no linear scarring, as there was with the old-fashioned strip method. This means patients can even wear their hair short if they choose to, because there is no scar to hide.

"The advances made possible with NeoGraft make more men and women good candidates for hair transplantation."

For anyone considering a hair transplantation procedure, Dr. Chaffoo stresses the importance of seeking a qualified surgeon with an extensive background in hair restoration techniques.

"Unfortunately, hair transplantation is unregulated," he says. "As a result, there are people with little training or experience who offer hair restoration.

"Although NeoGraft is a quicker, less invasive hair transplantation method, it is still surgery. Therefore, it is wise for anyone considering hair restoration in the San Diego area to seek a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon."
