March 2003 in “Dermatologic Surgery” Dr. Dominic A. Brandy shared methods to fix aesthetic problems from old hair restoration techniques, using methods like follicular unit grafting and scalp removal, which helped patients look more natural after surgery. He also suggested using oral finasteride and topical minoxidil to control hair loss in most men with baldness, especially those who had flap surgery.
