This is an interesting case. In March of 2008 this patient came into our office to have Dr. Hasson begin corrective procedures. Turns out, he went to India to visit family in 2007 and decided to investigate the local hair transplant opportunities. A local doctor told him about FUE and the patient decided to move forward with a procedure.

When he returned to Vancouver and the results matured he decided to let Dr. Hasson review his case and make recommendations. The hairline that was placed previously was much too low and the previous doctor has attempted to close off the temples. The grafts were angled improperly and were much larger than they should have been leading to the extremely pluggy look you see in the photos. Dr. Hasson recommended graft removal in two sessions then to follow up with a proper hair transplant procedure to rebuild a new hairline as much from scratch as possible.

A couple of notes about this case. First, it is obvious that the previous physician used a rather large punch on this patient, at least 1.2mm in our estimation. Second, it should be noted that repair cases cannot always be addressed in one session. This case shows that sometimes a multi-stage approach is the only way to properly address the needs of the patient but with the right amount of time and PATIENCE a cosmetically acceptable result can be achieved.

This is very impressive work!!! This is one of the best repairs I've ever seen. The previous doctor really messed this guys head up. Great work Dr. Hasson!!! What were those hair balls? Is that ingrown hairs caused by the tool punch of FUE?

Great result Again

Woah, this is an amazing transformation. The work that doctor did on the guy initially is just sickening to see. Very nice to see that this person now has an excellent head of hair. Congrats all around.

Hairballs? WTH? What caused those? They look stuck way down in the lower epidermis.

Good lord.

That was a great repair job, btw. Interesting rake marks on the back of the head.

Talk about a butcher.

beautiful corrective work. It's a good thing there are top docs like Dr Hasson to help repair shoddy work done by butchers who call themselves HT surgeons.

This was an absolutely awful looking job before Dr. Hasson fixed it.

Were the grafts in the hairline not pure follicular units, or was the plugginess really just the result of improper angling?

Wonderful job by Dr. Hasson, and I wish the name of the physician that butchered this guy would be posted.

Joe,

I honestly cringed when I saw this patient's before photos. But Dr. Hasson did one hell of a job in restoring a natural looking hairline and I'm sure much improved confidence as well.

Thanks for sharing this,

Bill
