NBC News: Nigerian Hair Transplant Doctor Performs Eyebrow Transplant (video) by Nobody: 10:59am On Nov 14, 2011 |
In this video, Dr Bruce Hensel of Los Angeles NBC (KNBC) Health News interviews the Nigerian born hair transplant doctor & cosmetic surgeon Dr Sanusi Umar, and a cosmetic surgery patient who had lost her eyebrows following several years of plucking and waxing. She resorted to tattooing her eyebrows to simulate hair. It was however cosmetically not acceptable and needed repeated sessions since the tattoo continues to fade with time. She got tired of this constant maintenance and sorts a permanent solution. For this reason she went to see Dr Umar after thorough research. She sort Dr Umar, because he transplants the eyebrow using a linear scar free technique and utilizes hair from the legs or nape which mimic the eyebrow better than other hairs. KNBC interviews Dr Sanusi Umar and his patient Sarah Tirosh and then followed the procedure as it unfolded in Dr Umar's DermHair Clinic operating room in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles California. Dr Umar used hair from the nape of the neck to restore the patient's eyebrows to a more realistic looking and permanent state. Highly regarded by his peers as a pioneer in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and the use of non-head hair donors, Dr Sanusi Umar invented the revolutionary Body Hair Transplant (BHT) and FUE method called the Single Follicular Extraction & Transfer (SFET) technique.

Here is a video of Dr Umar's cosmetic surgery patient who wanted a solution for minimizing the prominent frown lines between her eyebrows caused by overly active facial muscles. [flash=480,420] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h3oLRAGb8c[/flash] |

It is indeed a sign of relief and hope to once again see how Nigerians are changing the world in many positive ways. We are fed up with how our country's image has been made synonymous to yahoo-yahoo, corruption, kidnappings, drugs trafficking , prostitution, boko haramism, MENDism et al by few bad eggs who unfortunately often get attention from the international media. Majority of Nigerians are hard working and innovative people. |

Sad Bros, please let them be, perhaps it is a way to feel better about themselves. Anyways, about a couple of days after the Nigerian hair transplant specialist (Dr Sanusi Umar) was interviewed on NBC, his feat was again broadcasted on Spanish National TV (Telemundo) as shown in the video below. Naija we hail thee! [flash=580,520] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA2HoYo3MQQ[/flash] |

^^^ And i can see the boycott of alot of posters from this thread, if it was that "Dr Sanusi Umar" found raping his victims in his hospital office, this thread would have reached 100 pages and counting with insults on his ethnic group, religion and person. The south and their tribalism and intolerance. ![]() And to imagine that these people claim to be "educated" and "exposed" ![]() |
Re: NBC News: Nigerian Hair Transplant Doctor Performs Eyebrow Transplant (video) by Nobody: 9:22am On Nov 18, 2011 |
^^^ LWKMD ![]() ![]() Your analogy might've sounded very funny, however you really hit the nail on the head. |
Re: NBC News: Nigerian Hair Transplant Doctor Performs Eyebrow Transplant (video) by honeric01(m): 9:42am On Nov 18, 2011 |
^^^ Just annoying and this thread is not even on the front page too, if it was a yoruba man or igbo man that did this, it would have made front page, but what is hell does an Hausa man know? They forgot that Dangote is the driving force of the Nigerian economy, if he pulls out all his wealth from the market, Nigerian economy go just collapse lol ![]() |

So are people going to be transplanting oyibo hair onto their heads now? ![]() |
Re: NBC News: Nigerian Hair Transplant Doctor Performs Eyebrow Transplant (video) by Nobody: 1:23am On Nov 19, 2011 |
^^^ ![]() ![]() Perhaps, some people would love the idea of replacing their oyinbo wigs with a "natural growing oyinbo hair" , however I dont think "cross - transplanting" even among people of thesame family is yet feasible. A hair follicle (graft) has to be perfectly compatible with your body genetic make-up as well as physiology for it to 'survive' and grow on your head or on any part of your body. Hence, each hair transplanted onto ones head (or eyebrow as Dr Umar has also demonstrated) has to be 'cultivated' from another part of that persons body eg beards, chest, legs, neck, pubic, scalp etc. The transplanted hair would with time 'assimilate' and begin to exhibit the physical texture of the hairs in the region in which it was planted. Thus, hair follicles cultivated from the legs or arms would with time become stronger and grow faster when transplanted in the balding area of the head. Many women especially of African descent chose to wear Oyinbo wigs not because they like it, but because they are compelled to wear them to hide the apparent balding areas of their heads. And as for the men, they shave 'gorimakpa' to hide their baldness. People of African descent are very susceptible to hair loss due to the curly nature of our hair follicles. Ironically, due to the curly nature of the African hair, fewer hair follicles (grafts) are needed to cover more space, as compared to a person of Caucasian or Asian descent. Since hair transplant doctors charge patients based on the number of hair follicles (grafts) transplanted, fewer grafts means less money (cheaper for people of African descent). Also, Compared to the straight Caucasian/Asian hair follicle, the curly African hair follicle is harder to handle and transplant as it requires special skills, for these reasons, good and lasting hair transplant results among people of African descents are hard to come, as very few doctors in the world have the know-how to perform hair transplants for African patients. Rumor has it that Dr Sanusi Umar was once a hair transplant patient who became a victim of a poor hair transplant result while he was in medical school, and that was what motivated him to go into the field. Today, he has become a pioneer in the field and he is regarded as one of the best hair transplant specialists in the world. Hopefully, when doctors like him set up hair transplant clinics in Nigeria, the cost of Oyinbo wigs would drop in our markets; also our 'glass headed' men would grow hair and be looking 20 years younger ![]() Here is a video of one of Dr Umar's hair transplant patient who is of African-descent.

^^lol, quite a lot is wrong with your post? ![]() people who want to cover up bald spots which are a result of chemical processing of the hair, will use weave ons and hair extensions, not wigs. the glue i believe, is what destroys the hair because its very difficult to get off. also, black hair may have excessive breakage or hairline traction due to most of the above reasons, but i'd need to see actual photos of these bald spots some people are yapping about all over nl, in order to get an idea of what's being referred to here. black women dont normally have bald spots or male pattern baldness unless its due to excessive perming, weave ons and the glue thing i mentioned earlier. anyone seeing unnatural bald spots which werent caused by those, should get to a doctor. |
Re: NBC News: Nigerian Hair Transplant Doctor Performs Eyebrow Transplant (video) by Nobody: 5:09am On Nov 19, 2011 |
If anything, your post only seemed to have reinforced my points, cos I did not go into specifics and dynamics of the " hows", but the "whys" of why people of African descent tend to loose hair easily, and this I attributed to the curly and thin nature of the African hair follicle. Whether people wear "weaves" or "hair extensions" or even helmets instead of "wigs" is not the issue here. The issue and fact of the matter is that people of African descent have thinner and curly hair follicles as compared to Caucasians or Asians. And when it is subjected to incessant plaiting, perming, gluing etc as is common with our women, it becomes more susceptible to breakages and recessions, especially along the hair line area. You obviously have not watched the 2nd video in which the Doctor talked about Hair loss on American Health Journal TV, else you'll have known that pattern baldness or hair loss applies to both men and women. It is only more prominent among men than in women, and men tend to show noticeable signs at an earlier age than women. Hairloss in mostly younger women is precipitated by secondary factors, which can be easily treated. However, the same can not be said about older women. also, black hair may have excessive breakage or hairline traction due to most of the above reasons, but[b] i'd need to see actual photos of these bald spots some people are yapping about all over nl,[/b] in order to get an idea of what's being referred to here. If only you have taken time to watch the videos (which also include "before and after" photos of patients) you would have saved yourself a lot of time. No pun intended , but if you already made up your mind on what you've chosen to see or not see even before you open this thread, then no amount of photos or videos would be helpful. In conclusion, you have not really stated even one among the "quite a lot" that you supposedly found wrong in my post, except to further reinforce my points by touching on the "hows" process of hair loss in our women, and for which I'd like to thank you. ![]() |
Re: NBC News: Nigerian Hair Transplant Doctor Performs Eyebrow Transplant (video) by tpia5: 7:58am On Nov 19, 2011 |
^You sound like lefulefu, which is why i didnt bother breaking down your post to analyze it. If you're not a woman then i think its rather far fetched to assume what you're assuming. Of course the hair doctor will post whatever will bring him more customers. The fact remains women do not normally have male pattern baldness simply because such baldness is a hormonal thing based on male hormones. Any baldness being referred to is not normal in women unless its due to weave ons, glue, etc. And like i pointed out before, majority of women do not use wigs on their hair. They use hair extensions instead. Minus the ones using the lace wigs of course. The reason why women can continue to use hair weaves and glue ons even when there is serious hair loss, is because hair keeps growing after breakage until it reaches its normal length. Hair growth is a continuous process. Anyway, i wont argue this point with you. I'm just waiting for the nigerian who is going to pioneer transplanting oyibo hair onto their head. |

^^ Okay!! I concede, women wear "weaves" and not "wigs", I hope you feel better now. ![]() Honeric01 couldnt have been more right. It is obvious to objective readers here that you just want to derail this post by trying to create an issue where there is non. The nuances of your posts also point to the fact that it is indeed the "bad belle mentality" that's at play. It always baffles me as to how most of us (Africans) are too prone to downplaying our own progress. For sentimental reasons, we find it very hard to appreciate the success of one of our own, even when he/she is well appreciated by the outside world. Yet we get indignant and complain whenever the outside world look down upon us. Sigh,,,may God help us! |
