760 grafts is a lot more than the 100 or so that was originally mentioned. Is that because the doctor thought the density was a bit low throughout? I suppose if you are going through all the trouble of another procedure it makes sense to tackle as much as possible.

In any case I'm sure this will look great, and I'm really keen to see how quickly you recover so please keep us updated. Someday I'd like to get a touch up but I can't really take any downtime at the moment so it will need to wait (and my hair looks generally fine when it's not too short).

Good luck with your recovery!

I believe the amount of hair increased because Dr. Hasson decided to revise the entire scar and not just the one small area that the patient was concerned about.

Hey Joe- Does this have any effect on the total # of grafts that can be harvest in the future? Meaning, now that he's essentially had 2 strip surgery, even though one is more of a "touch up" will this effect how many total grafts can be extracted or does the amount of surgery have no effect. Or is it best to go with as much as you can each time, assuming you need it.

From my experiences Dr. Hasson is always more concerned about the future than patients usually are. I have seen many situations where the patients wanted more grafts than Dr. Hasson believed was neccessary and other situation where he felt surgery wasnt necessary.
i dont know anything about this situation but in my opinion such few graft would have very little or not affect in the future. Of course if the patient has 5000 grafts available in the future he now has 750. It may be hard to beleive but its not all hair transplant doctors goal to maximize the amount of grafts he can take. I feel all top doctor would prefer to have alot left on reserve and never have to get to that point. As we know this is not always possible.
Just my opinon

So I ended up keeping my staples in for 2 months and 4 days (!). Just had them taken out. Will post updated photos very soon.

Just updated my Blog with scar photos from 2.5 months post-op HT#2. Not much doing in the recipient area yet.

I left my staples in for 2 months. I don't really know what to make of these photos. Hard to tell what is shockloss and what is the scar. There was a lot of crusty skin buildup around this area, which when I took the staples out, took a lot of hair with them.

Here's the direct link:

Thanks for the update. Why did you leave the staples in for 2 months? You may covered above but it would be great to get a brief refresher as to your thinking on that.

Dr. Hasson wanted me to try for 4 weeks this time with the staples so I went ahead and did some "extra credit." Let's hope it helps.

I e-mailed the photos to Jotronic and he said it looks like shockloss to him and said that he could see a fine line that was the actual donor scar. He said the hair would come back so just be patient and that all looks good at this point.
