Rolf Nordström is a professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery. He began hair transplanting in approximately 1974 and almost immediately started doing scientific studies on hair survival in grafts of various sizes placed into recipient sites of various sizes and in various patterns. Subsequently, he did similar critical studies on the long-term effect of alopecia reduction (AR) that have provided useful fodder to the group of hair restoration surgeons who are not in favour of AR. (Rolf still carries out AR regularly and finds them very useful.) In 1981, he published a paper describing single-hair grafts and used the term "micrograft" for the first time.
Dr. Nordström is the author of over 300 publications on scalp surgery, surgical hair replacement, tissue expansion, cleft lips, and palates, and other fields of plastic surgery. Eighty-eight of the papers describe original studies and reviews in the field of hair transplantation. He is also the editor of six international textbooks and monographs on various subjects. In 1997 he received the Platinum Follicle Award for the best scientific research in hair pathophysiology and anatomy from the ISHRS. Nobody has done more to advance the scientific basis on which we do hair restoration surgery than Dr. Nordström, and nobody is more respected by his colleagues.
