For men the world over, the struggle with male pattern baldness is a daily reality. For a long time, there wasn’t much that anyone could do about it but, thanks to recent medical advances, hair transplants are a viable option for image-conscious men. Every year, more and more men choose to undergo a hair transplant in Istanbul for a variety of reasons.
Spending so much time in the public eye means that image is everything. So it’s no wonder that countless male celebrities have had hair transplants to keep up their image. As more men come forward about their experiences, men are learning that a full head of hair is within their reach.
Did He Actually Have a Hair Transplant?
The world-renowned chef and host of shows like Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen has been uncharacteristically quiet regarding any hair transplants, however, he has admitted to having had work done in the past. After becoming successful in America, Gordon Ramsay was approached by Simon Cowell who told him “that now [you’re] a success in America, [you] should do something,” he said, “so I had a filler put under the deep crevices. It hurt.”
Back in 2011, Gordon Ramsay was photographed leaving a Beverley Hills hair transplant clinic with a bandaged head. Well, it’s not too hard to put two and two together here.
What Do We Know About His Hair Transplant?
Since Gordon has kept his mouth shut about his hair loss treatment, we can only speculate based on his results. While the specifics of Gordon Ramsay’s hair transplant aren’t known, our surgeons have taken a look at his before and after photos and can make a few good guesses.
Overall, Ramsay was an ideal candidate for a hair transplant as his hairline had only receded a couple of inches and he still had dense hair on the back and sides of his head. He most likely opted for a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant. FUE transplants are perhaps the most common type of transplant.
Generally, all hair transplants follow the same procedure. To begin with, healthy hair follicles are extracted from the donor area. Next, they are implanted into the recipient area. During a sapphire FUE hair transplantation procedure, the surgeon removes the patient’s healthy hairs from the donor area and implants them into the balding areas.
How can you choose the right clinic?
As with any medical procedure, it’s important to choose the right provider.
