Why Choose MaxHarvest™ Hair Transplant?

Choosing a hair transplant approach is an important decision because available donor hair is limited. MaxHarvest™ is Dr. Brett Bolton's proprietary hair restoration technique, focused on personalized planning, careful donor hair management, graft utilization, and natural-looking restoration.

Why Do Patients Choose MaxHarvest™?

  • Personalized Hair Restoration Planning: Treatment is planned around the patient's hair loss pattern, donor characteristics, facial features, and long-term restoration goals.
  • Donor Hair Management: Available donor hair is carefully evaluated and strategically managed as part of a long-term restoration plan.
  • Natural Hairline Design: Hairline design and graft placement consider natural hair direction, angle, spacing, and facial proportions.
  • Customized Restoration: The approach is adapted to each patient's individual hair characteristics and treatment needs.
  • Corrective Hair Restoration Experience: MaxHarvest™ may be incorporated into complex corrective cases where careful donor management and restoration planning are particularly important.

Who May Be a Candidate for MaxHarvest™?

Patients experiencing pattern hair loss, those seeking improved hair coverage or density, and individuals requiring corrective hair restoration may be candidates for a MaxHarvest™ evaluation. Suitability depends on factors such as donor hair availability, hair loss pattern, previous procedures, hair characteristics, and individual restoration goals.

Why Does Experience Matter?

Successful hair restoration involves more than transferring hair follicles. Proper diagnosis, donor management, hairline design, graft handling, placement, and long-term planning all contribute to a natural-looking result.

Dr. Brett Bolton has performed more than 10,000 hair restoration procedures, including approximately 75% corrective hair transplant cases. His experience allows him to develop individualized treatment strategies for a wide range of hair restoration needs.

Hair transplant treatment planning begins with evaluating the patient’s current pattern of hair loss and identifying the areas where restoration may provide the most appropriate improvement. Donor hair availability and the characteristics of the existing hair are also important considerations.

A consultation allows patients to discuss their restoration goals and understand the factors that may influence their treatment options. Planning may consider both current areas of concern and the potential progression of hair loss over time.

Understanding the planning process can help prospective patients approach a consultation with realistic expectations. Questions about procedure selection, donor hair, restoration goals, recovery, and future hair growth can all be discussed as part of individualized treatment planning.

I would half-heartedly tell others that one of these days...I would be getting a hair transplant to accommodate my never-tried Elvis Presley routine. It took me 30-plus years to finally get around to the hair transplant, however.

I had previously had three hair transplants about 20 years ago. I wanted to get another one but no doctor would touch me due to the fact that I’d already had three and the scarring was too bad. Not only did Dr. Bolton do a fourth one for me but I just had my fifth, which should take care of all my... Read Patient Experience →

Our Pricing Philosophy

Please understand that we do not charge by the graft. We believe that pricing hair transplantation this way can be misleading. For example, when a clinic quotes “1,000 grafts,” that number alone does not indicate how much hair you are actually receiving. A graft may contain one, two, or three hairs, and each situation represents a very different total amount of hair, even though the patient is charged the same based solely on the graft count. For this reason, we believe that graft-based pricing does not always reflect the true value or outcome of a procedure.

Instead, we have chosen what we believe is a fairer and more transparent approach: pricing based on the amount of donor tissue removed. Our planning is based on averages. The average adult male has approximately 200 hairs per square centimeter in the donor area, although individual hair density varies. Regardless of individual density, patients at the same pricing level receive approximately the same amount of donor tissue extracted. This provides consistency in the amount of tissue removed rather than relying on graft numbers that can vary significantly in hair content.

While it is not possible to guarantee an exact number of square centimeters removed, we make every effort to come as close as possible to the planned amount. When feasible, we aim to slightly exceed the planned amount rather than fall short.
