Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Robert Milanes

Sourced directly from Dr. Robert Milanes's social posts and replies.

What is the expected timeline and results after an FUE hair transplant?
Six months post-FUE hair transplant is considered 'halfway there' to full results. At this stage, new hair growth is observed, the hairline is restored, and patients often experience boosted confidence, with the transformation well underway. Full results continue to develop over 12–18 months.
What are the benefits of a No-Shave FUE hair transplant?
No-Shave FUE hair transplants allow patients to restore their hair without altering their look during recovery, resulting in natural outcomes and no downtime.
What is the process for a hair transplant, from consultation to results?
The journey begins with an initial consultation to understand your unique needs and map out a customized plan. The expert team carefully designs the hairline, considering facial structure and natural hair pattern, with precision being key for a natural look. Each graft is meticulously transplanted, requiring patience and skill. While immediate results are visible post-transplant, setting the stage for fuller, healthier hair, the full results unfold over time in the months to come.
How does the Alma Hybrid CO2 laser enhance post-liposuction recovery?
The advanced Alma Hybrid CO2 laser is used to revolutionize post-liposuction recovery by accelerating healing, reducing scar appearance, and restoring confidence in the skin.
What is the full address of the practice?
The practice is located at 26800 Crown Valley Parkway, Suite 475, Mission Viejo, CA, 92691.
What is the typical pain level for a beard transplant?
The beard transplant procedure is generally not considered very painful, with a reported pain level of 2 out of 10. This level can depend on the amount of lidocaine injected. For comparison, a blackout sleeve tattoo is described as significantly more painful.
How can constipation from GLP-1 medications be managed?
GLP-1 medications often slow down digestion, leading to discomfort and constipation. Dulcolax can help alleviate this by gently stimulating bowel movements. The name brand is available at Costco, but the generic version is much cheaper and a recommended better option. Patients should always consult their doctor before combining any treatments to determine the best health plan.
What is Dr. Milanes' philosophy on hair restoration?
Dr. Milanes emphasizes that hair restoration is a long-term journey, not a one-day event, requiring a comprehensive long-term plan. Patients should understand that results are not immediate and take time to manifest.
What is Dr. Milanes' recommendation for over-the-counter hair regrowth?
Dr. Milanes recommends propylene glycol-free Minoxidil as the 'go-to' for healthy hair regrowth. It is clinically proven and gentler on the scalp. He suggests purchasing it from Costco, where it is available at an amazing price.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$67

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Robert Milanes received $67 across 3 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
