TLDR The book is a useful, illustrated guide for beginners in hair transplantation, but may be too basic for experienced surgeons.
The document is a book review of "Hair Restoration: Micrografts and Flaps" by Carlos Oscar Uebel, which is a 326-page text intended for beginners in hair transplantation. The book is described as basic and somewhat simplistic, with a large print format and numerous illustrations, although it contains several printing errors. Despite these issues, the reviewer found the book enjoyable and practical, with excellent photographs and impressive results. It is more of an atlas than a textbook, detailing Dr. Uebel's technique for follicular grafting from consultation to postoperative care, and includes chapters on female and secondary alopecia, flap surgery, occipital baldness, and combining hair restoration with facial surgery. The reviewer suggests that the book would be beneficial for beginning hair transplant surgeons but notes that experienced dermatologic surgeons will likely only need to skim it to gain its insights.
