Surgical Artistry

Artistry in hair restoration surgery is possibly more critical than technical ability. Artistry describes Dr. Panagotacos’ ability to design a natural-looking hairline, that will frame his youthful patient’s face both right after surgery and as the patient advances in age. Artistry is the way that Dr. Panagotacos performs each transplant session so that the patient does not have an “under construction” look between procedures. And artistry is the way that Dr. Panagotacos angles each graft and spaces the hairs for both the appearance of maximum density and an overall natural look.
