This is a unique case that no doubt most of you have not seen the likes of before.

This local patient underwent a procedure many years ago to attach a hair system to his scalp. At one point some clinics would create "tunnels" in a patient's scalp tissue in order for hooks from a system to latch onto. We have seen several of these cases over the years and have reversed them all successfully.

Dr. Hasson performed two procedures on this patient. The first session was performed to remove the tunnels and give the scalp time to heal. Once done Dr. Hasson and his team were able to move 4134 grafts in one session. Ten months later (and without hair coloring) the patient has a much more manageable head of hair that is not subject to routine maintenance (and infection) like his old hair system.

Great Job by Dr. Hasson----Joe did the patient express why he went this route? He still had quite a bit of native hair left.....?

Anyway, looks like a homerun to me, and hope it prompts more just him to consider getting out from under the "rug"

Jason,

As with many patients that have a good amount of hair he were talked into it by the hair system rep. I have seen guys with what seems like minor loss shave their heads entirely just to wear a system that has unrealistic density.

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

It's just barbaric what used to be 'commonplace' many years ago with certain clinics taking advantage of the insecurity of the balding patient. Between scalp lifts, scalp reductions, huge plugs... and the list goes on.

Congratulations on a great repair on this patient.

Jotronic: I know we talked about this some time ago, but have H&W ever repaired a patient that was unfortunate enough to go that New Jersey outfit that used to create 'circles' in the scalp attaching hair weaves to staples, if memory serves correctly? It was just a brutal procedure leaving many suffering complete baldness as the body rejected the foreign object (staples). I also remember the same company shut down and resurfaced offering new 'strand by strand' hair weaving, and showing one of their former patients with circles around his scalp as a former butchered 'Hair Transplant' patient. Such lies.

This is great work. It's unbelievable how some of these crooked hair piece outfits operate. I am sure this guy's quality of life has greatly improved now that the rug is gone.

Great result.

This site truly is an education. This is something that I have never seen before and cannot believe that this was once accepted as a positive improvement. It certainly is not anything natural. But great positive ending.

Congrats to all!
