Some patients are slow growers, some are fast growers, and some are super fast. Take this patient in whom I performed 2000 grafts (just one procedure) into the crown only SIX months ago. When he visited for his follow up I was pleasantly surprised with his accelerated growth. Bear in mind that at only six months he still has another 40% or so of thickening coming. With his permission I present his photos here.

I word of caution, NOT ALL CROWN CASES GROW THIS FAST. Usually the crown is very slow to grow-but apparently not in this guy. To every rule there is an exception and he's it:

Hello Dr. Feller,

Sorry, what are you actually showing here - is this a patient that has received PRP treatment?

Can you gave more details, such as how many treatments the patient received, any medication he's using (to treat hair-loss) and what the time scale is between the photos please?

I had the details up in the original post but when I looked at the final finished presentation the text was missing. I reposted the information in the thread.
Thanks for the heads up.

Dr. F

Thanks, I just wasn't sure what was actually being presented.

Back to your patient, lol. Very nice result so far, especially as you said it has only been 6 months and the grafts were placed in the crown.

hey dr. f, i am guessing this is strip but can you confirm. also, would you perform an fue session of this size if thinning was limited to the crown?

This is a strip case.

Hairthere,
Yes I would do FUE of this size (or near this size) for the crown.

Very nice improvement Dr. Feller, especially for only 2000 grafts in a seriously thinning crown.

Is he also taking Propecia and/or Rogaine to help slow further loss?

Best wishes,

Bill

Fantastic. I love the natural 'whirl' pattern in the crown.

Excellent. I also agree that the whirl pattern really looks perfect, and though I'm sure he's already happy with his result, as the density increases he will truly be mint.

This is a result Im looking for in the crown.
Nice job Dr Feller
