Losing your hair, while common, can be a troubling issue. If nonsurgical treatments are not enough to stop or slow your hair loss, it could be time to consider hair restoration surgery. Plastic surgeon Dr. Robert J. Paresi Jr. performs Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to Downers Grove, IL patients who want fuller, thicker hair. FUE is a hair transplant surgery that's minimally invasive and uses innovative technology to remove and then implant individual follicles. FUE chooses the best donor follicles in the back part of your mind and then implants them in which they are required. Dr. Paresi Jr. uses the FUE instrument to carefully place each follicle graft — so your results appear and feel natural. If you have advanced hair thinning or bald spots, schedule a consultation at Dr. Robert J Paresi, Jr., to learn more about FUE hair surgery.
Surgical Technique
FUE procedures are performed at our Downers Grove, IL practice using local anesthesia on your scalp. Something stronger, like an oral sedative may be added to keep you calm during the procedure. During your consultation, we will speak with you about what will happen during your FUE procedure, such as how much time it will take. When you're ready, Dr. Paresi Jr., along with his staff, will start the process. While we operate, you will be able to relax and watch TV or listen to music. Your donor follicles will normally be taken from the back of your head because this is an area where hair growth is constant. For medium to large grafts, the entire back and sides of your scalp might have to be shaved. For smaller cases, you may only need to get a small strip of hair shaved that will be camouflaged by the hair above it. Your donor hair will be extracted in follicular units, typically around 1 – 4 hairs. The hair extraction process is randomized — so the hair near the extracted grafts will grow back and then camouflage the follicles that are extracted. The transplanted area is going to be planned by Dr. Paresi Jr. based on the angle, depth, orientation, and density of your scalp to give you natural-looking outcomes.

I recently had a breast reduction surgery with Dr. Paresi and I couldn't be happier with the results! Dr. Paresi was attentive, taking the time to listen to my questions and provide thorough answers. The recovery process was smooth, with minimal scarring and no drains. I highly recommend Dr. Paresi for anyone considering breast reduction surgery. Thank you, Dr. Paresi, for your expertise and excellent care!
Dr. Paresi is the best plastic surgeon in Chicago Illinois. He truly cares about his patients and their wellbeing; specially with Crisalex 3D system . You can see exactly what you will look like after surgery. It’s AMAZING! Don’t hesitate to come with him; I’m at a loss of words to express the skills of Dr. Paresi. He is the absolute BEST! As do his assistants since the moment you walk into his office. I wish I could give him 10 Stars. Maria Tenorio
I had two procedures done with Dr. Paresi earlier this year and I truly could not be happier. I had done extensive research and even went to another consultation with a different doctor before going to Dr.Paresi. The first place I went to for a consult had terrible customer service, acted as if they were doing me a favor, and were completely dismissive of all my questions and concerns. Dr. Paresi and his staff were a complete 180. From start to finish they took such amazing care of me. From answering every single question I had before and after surgery to taking so much accountability in ensuring I was set up for success for surgery and post surgery, they truly care about their patient's well-being. Their process is amazing and you really feel like you don't have anything to worry about because they are always a call or email away. Susanna, Carrie, and Nerina are all fantastic and will really do everything they can to make you feel so welcomed and reassured. My results are fantastic so far and I'm healing every day. I would recommend Dr.Paresi to everyone because you truly will have the best experience.

After Surgery
After your FUE hair restoration treatment, you'll be able to resume normal tasks. Dr. Paresi Jr. or another member of our team will go over your post-surgical instructions, including how to take care of your hair and when to schedule follow-up appointments. You may have some redness or swelling in the transplant and donor sites for a couple of days, and little scabs around the transplanted follicles may be visible for 7 – 10 days. Several weeks after the process, the transplanted follicles will go into the resting phase of hair growth. This normally lasts for 3 – 4 months while the hair sheds. This is normal, and the transplanted follicles will go back to the growing stage as new hair sprouts. It should take about 12 – 18 months for your final results to be visible. Now, your hair will look thicker and fuller. To keep your new hair, you may speak with Dr. Paresi Jr. about possible nonsurgical remedies or topical medications.

About UsFUE Hair Restoration FAQs
Is FUE Hair Restoration Better Than Other Options?
FUE treatments are an innovative solution to hair restoration. In the past, one of the only options for hair transplants was through FUT (follicular unit transplantation), a process where a large strip of the scale was removed from the back of the head. Not only did this leave a large scar, but it created a longer recovery period. With FUE, there is minimal scarring and a faster recovery period because we're able to remove the follicles individually.
Who Can Get FUE Hair Transplants?
If you've noticed hair loss on the top of your head near the front of your hairline or in the crown of your head, you may be an excellent candidate for FUE hair restoration. Those who are experiencing thinning hair may also be a great candidate for FUE. It's important that you have enough donor hair on your head, so this procedure is not suggested for men or women who are fully bald.
How Much Does FUE Cost?
The cost of FUE hair transplant surgeries varies from person to person and depends on a few factors, such as how much hair is being transplanted and where it's being transplanted. It's important to focus on finding a skilled and talented surgeon like Dr. Paresi Jr. rather than the lowest cost. During your consultation, we'll discuss expected costs as we create your unique treatment plan so you can fit it into your budget.
