Hi everyone,

This is a 3074 graft case with the after photos taken 6 months after the procedure. Our goal was to reestablish the front 1/2 of his scalp for the time being. He may return to get the crown down as well but he hasn't decided yet.

You can see from the before shots that the thinning hair is very fine and miniaturized. We placed the grafts at about 55-60/cm2 in the first 2-3 cm and reduced the density posteriorly.

He received 743 single grafts, 1541 double grafts, and 790 three hair grafts, for a total count of 3074 grafts. He is already doing very well for 6 months and can look forward to further thickening over the next 6-8 months. I have asked him to return in 6 months and will post final photos at that time.

I think this is a great result. The pics are as clear as it gets.I would however like to see a top down picture. One more session and this guy will be golden.

mm315,

You are very right that combing his hair would have made the hair look thicker than it appears in the photos. It is interesting to see some before and after photos where the hair is combed differently in each photo and the less astute are led to believe that there has been a significant difference in hair density/thickness/etc even when there may not be. In this case, this is how the patient looked after taking off his hat and I thought this would a true representation of his appearance under less than ideal circumstances. Thanks for the positive comments.


dakota3,
I agree with you. One more transplant and he will be golden. I have attached a top down photo for you from 6 months post op. Thanks.
