TLDR The book "Hair Replacement" is a detailed guide on hair transplant and treatments, useful for surgeons and clinicians.
The book "Hair Replacement," edited by D. B. Stough and R. S. Haber, is a comprehensive text on the subject of hair transplantation and replacement, reflecting the significant growth and development in the field over the previous decade. The book, necessitated by advancements in hair transplant surgery, the commercialization of the procedure, and the availability of treatments like Rogaine, is organized into 14 chapters covering a wide range of topics from anatomy and pathophysiology of androgenic alopecia to surgical techniques and postoperative care. It also includes appendices on legal and practical aspects of hair transplantation. The reviewer, Edward M. Jackson, Ph.D., emphasizes the book's importance to cosmetic surgeons and clinicians alike, noting its thoroughness and relevance in an era where appearance significantly influences patient and consumer behavior. The text is seen as a valuable resource for those involved in surgical and medical hair replacement, as well as for advising patients on related drug and cosmetic products.
