PERSONALIZED, PRIVATE & PROVEN FOR 30+ YEARS
The difference is in the details: The Quatela Center for Hair Restoration features 3 double board-certified facial plastic surgeons, in-house trichology support, and the most advanced surgical and nonsurgical options—all under one highly specialized roof.
Your information is kept private and secure.
"Undetectable" means the result not only looks natural, but is also completely believable for you: authentic to your features, age, and the way you wear your hair.
It also means that the process stays discreet. Our surgeons specialize in hair restoration plans that fit your life with realistic timing, clear expectations for the early healing phase, and results that emphasize how you look and feel, not the procedure itself.
Both hair restoration approaches can produce excellent results. The best choice depends on your pattern of hair loss, the available supply from the "donor" area, your hairstyle preferences, and the graft strategy needed to reach your goal.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU REQUEST A CONSULTATION?
We reach out within one business day. You'll connect with a Patient Consultant who will talk you through what you're noticing, what you want to change, and what matters most (privacy, downtime, style, timeline).
We make the process clear. We'll review appropriate treatment options, what the process involves, and what typically influences cost and timing.
We schedule your consultation. For your convenience, we offer both in-person and virtual appointments.
CONSIDERING EYEBROW RESTORATION, TOO?
If brow thinning is also on your mind—due to genetics, aging, overplucking, or scarring—an eyebrow transplant can restore fullness with a natural finish using your own hair.
An eyebrow transplant offers:
- More control over shape and fullness than temporary options
- A natural look using your own hair
- A long-term solution, not a repeat appointment cycle
Our specialists will review your candidacy and what type of result is realistic for your features.
HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY FAQ
MODEL
FUE
(FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION)
How it works: Individual follicle units are harvested and transplanted
Best fit for: Patients who prefer shorter hairstyles or want to avoid a linear donor scar
Planning focus: Selecting grafts carefully while maintaining a natural look in the back and sides
Procedure length: Often longer due to individual harvesting and placement; time depends on graft count
Recovery: Donor sites heal gradually over 7 to 10 days
The Quatela Difference: FUE is performed using the Dutch Method (WAW system) for precise, controlled graft harvesting
FUT
(FOLLICULAR UNIT TRANSPLANTATION)
How it works: A narrow strip is removed from the back of the scalp, grafts are prepared, and then transplanted
Best fit for: Patients who are comfortable wearing hair longer in the donor area
Planning focus: Scar placement and closure technique, along with graft strategy
Procedure length: Often shorter harvesting time than FUE; time depends on graft count
Recovery: Incision site heals over 10 to 14 days
The Quatela Difference: FUT planning emphasizes graft quality and a strategy for when a larger number of grafts is needed from a small harvest area

OUR PATIENTS SAY IT BEST
"I went to Dr Q based on results from two other people that went to him … Friends/family have made comments that they like the way I am "wearing my hair". I only wish that I had done it sooner. The actual procedure has gone unnoticed."
JC, 5-STAR GOOGLE REVIEW
EMILY G., 5-STAR GOOGLE REVIEW
"Dr. Lee is fantastic. As a 30 something woman who [is] struggling with androgenic alopecia (genetic hairloss) with no explanation, I've spent years finding out if it's hormones, stress, and with no real options … I'm about 6 months out after surgery and seeing results. I have a ways to go but I'm so hopeful about the future!"
REAL 5-STAR PATIENT REVIEW, VITALS
"Dr. Montague really knows how to make his patients feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I wouldn’t trust my hair or head with anyone else in the business. Like Dr. Montague, Quatela as a whole is top notch."
FUE VS. FUT: WHICH HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

A center built exclusively for hair restoration
Our team of in-house specialists, dedicated facilities, and proven surgical processes are designed around one specialty and backed by decades of expertise.
Facial plastic surgery training applied to hairline design
Hairline decisions are both medical and aesthetic decisions. Our surgeons apply their elite training in proportion and fine-detail work to create results that look natural without drawing attention.
In-house trichology support when it helps
When indicated, our certified trichologist helps assess your scalp health and patterns of thinning or shedding. These insights can guide a plan that supports both surgical outcomes and overall hair health.
Options designed for real life
Not everyone needs the same approach. From surgical techniques to nonsurgical support, your plan is built around your goals, your timeline, and what will look most natural as your hair changes over time.
Will it look obvious?
Our surgeons intentionally avoid the telltale signs that people worry about with hair transplants: a harsh hairline, uneven growth, or a result that reads strangely up close. Your consultation is where we map out a plan based on what you want to change and what will look believable in the long term.
What is the first week really like?
You can expect some swelling, scabbing, and sensitivity, especially in the donor area. We'll give you clear guidance on what's normal, how to manage comfort, and how to plan around work, hats, and social downtime.
When will I see results?
After hair transplant surgery, new hair growth typically becomes noticeable around 3 to 4 months, continues to fill in by about 6 months, and reaches final results at around 12 months. Because transplanted hair follows a natural growth cycle, early changes can vary as the hair matures.
That's exactly why planning matters. We'll discuss how your pattern of hair loss may progress and whether medical therapy or other options should be part of your long-term strategy to keep everything looking natural.
What if I keep losing hair?
