Virtual Hair Transplant Consultation

If you are unable to attend our offices for an in-house consultation, you can receive a free virtual consultation by submitting photographs that show the current state of your hair loss. Once you have taken photos, complete the virtual consultation form.

Photo Guidelines

So that we can provide the most accurate assessment possible, please use the following hair transplant photo guidelines:

• Submit digital photos or scanned print photos
• Use bright, natural room lighting. Do not use a flash
• Shoot from a distance of 3 - 5 feet
• Ensure that the area you are shooting is in frame and in focus
• Photos must not exceed 4MB (4,000kb) each. Please resize photos that exceed this limit.
• Acceptable photo file types are jpg or jpeg.
• If your photos exceed our size restrictions, Download PhotoResize800.exe (Windows only) and Save it to your desktop.
  
  The PhotoResizer icon (pictured left) will appear on your desktop. Simply drag and drop individual photos or folders containing photos onto the icon and PhotoResizer will create a risized copy automatically. If the original photo is named myphoto.jpg, PhotoResizer will create a resized copy named myphoto-W800.jpg.

Provide photos showing the following angles:

Top of Head The top of your scalp
This gives us an overall view of your hair loss situation. The top view is important as it helps us determine the amount of existing hair loss and possible future hair loss.

Left and right profile Left and right profile
The profile is very important in assessing the needs of our patients. The profile helps us understand the extent of hair loss.

Back and combed showing donor zone The back of the scalp
If possible, include a photograph with your donor hair pulled up either with your hand or with a comb. This helps us determine your donor density.

Front hairline Front hairline
We need to be able to understand how your existing or new hairline frames your face. This is imperative for the review process. If possible, take some time to draw your hairline on your scalp to show us where you would like to have it placed. This helps us to understand your desires and expectations from the procedure.
