Quality Results

The unnatural hair plugs from the 1970s and 1980s are a procedure of the past in the field of hair transplant surgery. But even though hair restoration techniques are more advanced than ever, achieving excellent, natural-looking results still requires an experienced surgeon who understands the artistic nature of the procedure. Getting the results you desire requires more than simply extracting hair follicles from one area of the scalp and transferring them to another area. It calls for an understanding of the way hair grows, in order to best position the follicles. Dr. Quatela, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Montague have that understanding, and they use it to ensure that each patient’s results will blend with the existing hair and look natural.

Choosing the Quatela Center

You have options, of course, when it comes to selecting a hair restoration specialist. We believe that, because of their experience and the quality of results Dr. Quatela, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Montague achieve, it is worth traveling to our hair restoration center even if you’re traveling from Buffalo, Syracuse, elsewhere in New York, or even other parts of the country. Hair restoration surgery represents an investment in a new you, and the choice of surgeon shouldn’t be based solely on his or her proximity.
