Barack Obama has revealed that his running mate, Joe Biden, has undergone a hair transplant.

65-year old Joe Biden has been coping with hair loss for several decades. In the 1980s, he underwent the relatively new procedure of a hair transplant, even though his hair was still dark at the time and the transplant was noticeable. It seems the results are still being noticed today.

Hair loss expert, Dr. Alan Bauman told American health website 'Make Me Heal': "I'm not surprised Joe Biden's 'infamous' incomplete hair transplant is getting attention once again, like it did a few decades ago. Many actors, politicians and those in the public eye have undergone medical treatments and sought other methods of restoring their hair - some successfully and others quite obviously not. 

"While the hair transplant methods employed by today's board-certified hair restoration physicians include training in safe and aesthetic surgery, those who had surgery years ago often were not so lucky. Undetectable restorations using old-style methods are difficult if not impossible, except under the most ideal circumstances.   And, while refinements and touch-ups are possible, his results underscore the need for careful long-term planning from the get-go."

Hair transplants have come a long way since the 1980s - indeed, the procedure has improved so much that the results are barely noticeable.
