DR. HUMAYUN
At H.T.I. Islamabad, we have
changed the way patients and the medical
community thinks about hair transplantation.
We have created methods which stir the senses
and soothe the soul. As a leader in our
field, we focus on continual improvement.
Our research center is constantly developing,
challenging and improving the strong surgical
base we have created over the years. Our
team is instructed to ignore tradition and
think outside the box. We are always searching
for a better way and Our founder, Dr. Khan, supports and encourages that search.
VISION
We
know that the shortest distance between
two points is a straight line. When you
know what you want in life, head straight
for it. Our philosophy in establishing and
developing innovative surgical methods has
followed this basic advice. We know that
life is more interesting, exciting and fulfilling
when you make choices which inspire you.
We accept only the best and so should you.
We embrace change. You reap the benefits
from our commitment to this idea.
Why?
Why bother to change what works? If you
read the preceding portions about wigs and
early surgical methods that question answers
itself. At each stage of evolution in any
process one critical function is self-examination
and improvement of the process, whether
through technical means - technological
improvements, technique - by medical personnel,
or artistic training and practice.
A vision is only as good as the visionary.
If dreaming is all you do you will never
achieve. The reason our methods of hair
transplantation have superseded other previous
methods is due to the application of that
vision. We tested and applied our method
and now it has become the standard by which
care is provided worldwide.
We
are very proud of our technical and surgical
advancements, but we are equally proud of
our artistry. While many people might be
able to invent and develop a tool, how many
people become so proficient with it as to
be called artists? The first computers were
little more than calculators by today's
standards. Now, on most every desktop there
is enormous power available. Yet, how many
people use the machine to its fullest potential?
How many explore beyond the basic needs
of their job title?
IDEALS
When
we design your hairline, it will restore
the natural symmetry of your facial features.
We have studied the face and its structure
from a classical standpoint. Leonardo da
Vinci and other Renaissance artists knew
the secrets of the face and these same ideas
can be applied today using advanced computational
abilities. We know now how to measure, model
and create detailed structural maps of the
face which are unique to the individual.
Photographic systems integrated with computer
graphic analysis programs can do hours of
work in moments. What artists used to do
visually and with pincers to create sculpture
we can do in seconds, in greater detail
and with overwhelming accuracy.
For
example, let's trace the determination of
a proper hairline. For a man who does not
have hair loss genes active, at puberty,
the male hormone level increases and starts
affecting baby hairs at the hairline. This
natural recession is normal and is not continual
to baldness. As the individual reaches his
late 20s, his hairline, with gentle temporal
recession, looks graceful and manly. The
forehead and bones of the face have long
completed their growth and settled into
fixed position for life. After this time,
there is a negligible change in the hairline
for the remainder of his life. This natural
development leads to the Mature Hairline.
In
designing your particular hairline, our
goal is to achieve that natural hairline.
One that matches your individual facial
features, regardless of age. This is the
hairline you would have had if your body
did not have a gene promoting hair loss.
Even when a patient has extreme baldness
and a minimal donor area we do not compromise
on the hairline. Our goal must be to restore
symmetry, harmony and proportion to the
face using a Mature Hairline. It will stand
the test of time and will look good for
life.
A
vast study of the facial proportions of
different races has enabled H.T.I to
establish certain principles for creating
the hairline. For example, the eyebrows
to chin distance of almost every person
varies from 13 to 15 centimeters. We measure
this distance to place the hairline. If
an individual measures 14 centimeters from
eyebrows to chin, we place the hairline
at least 7 centimeters up from the eyebrows.
This gives us very accurate placement taking
into account factors of age and other facial
proportions.
