As you can see, the patient had a very severe and uneven hair loss. During the transplant we made sure to create a strong and natural hairline as well as make the rest of his hair more even. He's very pleased with the results.

The pink hair band is to pull the hair back to best display the hairline. The patient sort of wears his hair swept to the side that obscures the hairline a bit, so we wanted to make sure that you all could see the transplant the best way possible.

Some other views would be nice besides showing the hair pulled straight back. There is an improvement from the before but even pulled back it looks very thin and looks as though his styling options would be very limited.

How far along after surgery is he? Are these the full year results? If they are I wouldnt be very happy. I bet combed forward and even to the side it may look even thinner. I looked at the pictures SEVERAL times before writing and posting this. I think it was mentioned he had about 2700 graphs? It just does not look like that compared to what I have seen from other doctors and the area that was covered

One thing to potentially note is that due to the patient's hairloss, it looks like the hairline had to be kept fairly low; so the area to be covered by the 2700 might be larger than we'd normally expect.

It really does look pretty thin, nonetheless. But it's basically just one pic, so who knows how it looks from different perspectives, or how he typically wears his hair....

The pictures are obviously high quality....Dr. Rassman obviously prides himself on his work and on his reputation....

Why not get in the habit of including a couple basic shots whenever you post a case to show the result in a way so patients can get a true feel for your work?

1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline shot....4 photos....it's really that simple....am I crazy to think that this is both an exceedingly easy and worthwhile set of criteria to follow as part of a bare-minimum protocol? In more or less words this has essentially been asked in ten different languages, and as many times that a mathematician would be confused. So what gives?

I would add 45 degree angle shots also so 6. True frankfurt horizontal also please. Thinnish somewhat to my untrained eyes - who knows.

Agreed, rpachigo. And yet my expectations are not even so colossal as to expect such an exotic luxury as the 45 degree angle shot. 4 sides to a square, 4 photos, it's all I ask!

I actually think this looks right on line for the # of grafts implanted. Considering he had just about nothing before he has pretty decent coverage. What concerns me is that there appears to be a little bit of pitting at the hairline. Now that just may be the pics but this is what it looks like to me. Let me add that it really depends on how much they lowered the hairline to determine if this is sufficiant coverage for # of grafts used

Does Rassman ever do enough grafts the first time around? Nah.

Does Rassman ever do an "amazing" job? Nah.

Also we all know that without that stupid womens hair band his only styling option could possible be the dreaded "comb-over" I doubt that would even look that great.

Here's my thoughts on this result,

I just don't know-with out more pictures, something about this result is just not right. It is an improvement though???

Correct me if i'm wrong fellas, something tells me this guy is not going to go out in public wearing a pink head band...
