Dr. Jack Fisher

Solo practicing hair transplant surgeon·The Fisher Hair Center

United States

Background

Dr. Jack Fisher is a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Nashville, Tennessee.6 Per IAHRS, he earned his medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine, was an attending plastic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic from 1981 to 1986, and trained in hair transplantation under Dr. Carlos Ubel in Brazil, described there as one of the "fathers" of the small-graft megasession technique.6 Per its FAQ, the clinic states that Fisher personally performs all hair replacement procedures, placing each and every graft himself.1

Procedures and techniques

The clinic describes megasessions of up to 3,000 grafts, meaning patients frequently receive 6,000 to 7,000 hairs per session.1 Per its megasessions page, grafts are harvested as a strip of tissue and separated under a microscope into units of about 1 to 3 hairs, in sessions running roughly 5 to 6 hours.2 It also offers FUE via the NeoGraft system, an automated punch that, per the clinic, needs no donor-site sutures.3 Per IAHRS, Fisher personally creates the recipient incisions and places every graft, using custom-made instruments he designed for very small incisions, and double-closes donor-area incisions to limit scarring.6 The clinic states hairline design comes from Fisher studying each patient's face and forehead shape.4 It also describes him as comfortable performing corrective restoration for patients who have had substandard transplants elsewhere, a service it says many clinics avoid.5

Pricing

The clinic does not publish price figures, stating cost varies by the number of grafts required and directing inquiries to its office; it says it accepts major credit cards and offers CareCredit financing.1

Booking and aftercare

The clinic frames the consultation as a personal meeting with Fisher rather than a sales representative, and states he performs the entire procedure himself.4 Per its FAQ, follow-up care is minimal: the dressing is removed the day after surgery and donor-area sutures come out in 10 to 12 days.1 For patients traveling from out of town, the clinic states Fisher will refer them to a physician in their home city for follow-up.4

Credentials and memberships

Per IAHRS, Fisher is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.6 The clinic's own site additionally lists him as an associate member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery.4 He is listed in the IAHRS "Find a Surgeon" directory.7
