Can Anyone Tell Me Why Dr. Bernstein Is Still Bald?
Q: Can anyone tell me why Dr. Bernstein is still bald? — N.H., Brooklyn, NY
When Dr. Bernstein was younger and started to lose his hair, it really didn’t bother him. After medical school, he began his career as a dermatologist and became aware of surgical hair restoration. It was then when he realized that he would not be a good candidate for a hair transplant procedure, even if he wanted one, because his donor area is very thin. In the years since, he has gotten used to being bald. But his not being a candidate made him keenly aware of who is and who is not a good candidate for surgery, and this insight has helped earn him a reputation as an honest and ethical practitioner of hair transplantation.

Q: Dr. Bernstein, why have you not had a hair transplant? I’m sure this question gets asked a lot. Thanks. — I.L., Kentfield, CA
A: Yes, all the time.
My donor area is very thin (so I am not a good candidate) and I have gotten used to being bald. It has been years.
