The Hair Restoration Gap in Southport
When Southport residents research local hair restoration options, they run out quickly. The only plastic surgery practice in Southport performs facial and reconstructive procedures in addition to hair restoration procedures. General practitioners and dermatology offices throughout Brunswick County address hair loss medically through topical solutions and finasteride protocols.
These treatments have real value for patients in the early stages of thinning or those managing progression. But they cannot restore a hairline that has receded or fill in areas that are already bald. That requires surgical hair transplantation, and no dedicated surgical hair transplant provider operates in Southport or anywhere in Brunswick County.
Signature Hair Restoration is the dedicated surgical option for Brunswick County residents who want permanent results.

The Signature Difference
Two specialists. One coordinated procedure.
Most clinics rely on a single surgeon. Here, Greg Koher and Dr. Sessoms operate side by side, extracting grafts at the same time to shorten your day in the chair and protect every follicle.
- Dual-specialist FUE technique found nowhere else in the U.S.
- 30+ years of combined, coordinated experience
- Less time out of the body means healthier grafts

Why Choose Signature Hair Restoration
A hair transplant result is permanent. For Southport residents who research this decision carefully, three things consistently distinguish Signature Hair Restoration from the broader cosmetic surgery market.
Surgical Specialization, Not a Side Service
Many cosmetic practices offer hair transplants alongside facelifts, fillers, and other aesthetic services. Signature Hair Restoration performs hair restoration exclusively. Greg Koher trained directly under his father, Dr. Grant Koher, a founding member and Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, who helped advance modern FUE technique.
Honest Candidacy Assessments
Not every patient is a good candidate for surgery, and we say that directly. Some donor areas, hair loss patterns, and coverage goals are not well served by transplantation. We provide consultations to give you an accurate picture of what is achievable, not to secure a booking. For patients making a significant investment, an honest conversation upfront is worth more than a confident sales pitch.
Complete Team Continuity
The physicians, surgical technicians, and support staff at Signature Hair Restoration have worked together for decades. This is not a rotating staff or a franchise model. The same coordinated team performs every procedure. Over 20,000 cases have been completed by this specific group, refining every aspect of the process through real patient outcomes.
FUE vs. FUT: Which Technique Fits Your Life?
Both procedures permanently relocate healthy follicles from your donor area to thinning or bald zones. The right technique depends on how much coverage you want, how you wear your hair, and what your recovery schedule allows.
| FUE | FUT | |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction method | Individual follicles removed one at a time | Narrow strip removed, then dissected under a microscope |
| Scarring | Tiny dot marks, nearly invisible even with short hair | Thin linear scar, hidden by existing hair |
| Recovery | 7-10 days | 10-14 days |
| Graft capacity per session | Up to 3,500-4,000 | Up to 4,000 |
| Best for active lifestyles | Ideal for swimming, boating, and outdoor activities post-recovery | Compatible with all activities after full healing |
Signature's dual-specialist approach sets every FUE procedure apart. Greg Koher (right-handed) and Dr. Cory Sessoms (left-handed) extract follicles simultaneously from opposite sides of your head, cutting procedure time by up to 40% while maintaining precision from the first graft to the last. No other practice in North Carolina offers this technique.

Schedule a confidential consultation with our specialists. We'll review your goals, evaluate your candidacy, and recommend the right approach for you.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Hair transplant surgery delivers its best results for patients who meet these criteria:
Stable hair loss pattern (typically age 25 or older)
Sufficient donor hair density on the back and sides of the scalp
Realistic expectations about coverage, density, and the 12-to-15-month growth timeline
Good overall health
Understanding that transplanted follicles require patience before final results are visible
Surgery may not be the right fit if your hair loss is still progressing rapidly, your donor area is too sparse to harvest adequate grafts, or your goals exceed what your donor supply can realistically support. We tell you this at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
Planning the Drive from Southport
Most Southport patients treat the trip to High Point as a planned event rather than a barrier.
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Consultation | Can begin as a free virtual appointment; one in-person visit for surgical planning |
| Procedure day | Drive to High Point in the morning; surgery lasts 6-10 hours depending on graft count; stay overnight nearby |
| Return home | Drive back to Southport the following morning |
| Follow-up | Virtual check-ins at scheduled intervals, with a small number of in-person visits over your 12-15 month growth timeline |
Three hours on I-40 West is a reasonable trade for a permanent result. After full recovery, your transplanted hair behaves exactly like your natural hair. You can kayak on the Cape Fear River, spend the afternoon at Oak Island, or take the ferry to Bald Head Island without giving your hair a second thought. Transplanted follicles are saltwater-compatible, sun-tolerant, and need no special care after they mature.
