Hair Transplantation, Third Edition
An overview of all the various means of surgically correcting alopecia. This revised and expanded edition returns to the format of the first one, describing in detail Unger's personal approach to each component of graft transplanting, and then discussing why he chose them over options used by other surgeons. In addition, there is a lengthy chapter in which respected surgeons elaborate on how their approach differs to Unger's, and why. Finally, there is a new chapter on recent advances in concepts, instruments, and techniques, which for the most part were presented at the second annual meeting of the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery in Toronto in September 1994.
