This 43 year old patient gave a history of having undergone a singe minigraft session in the frontal scalp about 5 years prior to his presentation to my office. His main concerns were low density and unnatural looking grafts in the previously treated frontal scalp region. His primary goals were: 1) a modest frontal density enhancement; 2) softening the appearance of the minigrafts; 3) avoiding shock loss; and 4) an inconspicuous recovery - i.e. not shaving the recipient site. He underwent a session of 2000 follicular units into the frontal scalp region.

I present this case based on my interest in the recent 'see-through hair' thread. The graft number performed in this case does not come close to providing adolescent density, but it was successful in fulfilling the patient's primary objectives. Attached is a short video clip that demonstrates how a relatively conservative density enhancement was still able to provide a significant cosmetic improvement in the old graft zone.

This looks sensational. Almost unreal. Especially considering the low graft count. Congratulations Dr. Im just about to view the attached video file!

Very nice, especially with only 2000 grafts over quite a large area! Good job doc!

Excellent

Dr. Konior, you mentioned the patient wanted to avoid shockloss. What measures did you take in the hopes of reducing the impact of shockloss?

Dr. Konior,

This is certainly another homerun result for sure.

While the results are 100% without a doubt impressive as usual, posting before photos with dry hair would help us better establish how much thinning this patient had prior to his hair transplant. Wet hair always makes a patient's hair appear a lot thinner than when their hair is dry.

Best wishes,

Bill
