Hairbank,

Did you know that Eastwood had a HT?? I read that in a gossip journal so not certain but he has kind of had the same hairline for awhile.

NN

Hey NN,

No.......I did not know that. Stands to reason though..........he was really receding during the 70's though his hair was still thick. Seems like he's held on the last 10-15 years maye a little too much to be natural !

Yeah--- for some odd reason Bronson turned that role down

Those movies made Clint a star.

I had heard he had a hair transplant, but I wonder how they did it?

His hair is only slightly less resistant to damage than Supermans'

Anyway, couple more of my favorite quotes:

I know Ike..... Let's have a spelling contest.

or

You know Fredrick Fu@#$@) Chopin?

Love it!

One last quote and I'll quit:

You guys are too much. Next week .A Clockwork Orange . That is if you have any yarbles.
I am still laughing from your quotes.

I have a somewhat related question with regard to this "illusion of density." It seems to be generally agreed on this forum that you only need slightly more than half of the original density to achieve the illusion of fullness. So consider the scenario where we have this hypothetical patient with 100 fu/cm2 density on his native hair. He hairline has now receded to the midscap with a completely shiny forehead but a full crown with original density. He goes in for a HT and completely fills in the bald area, but with 70 fu/cm2 on his left front, and 130 fu/cm2 on the right front. So now with full coverage but three regions of different density, each over half of the original density, how would he look to the eyes of someone who doesn't know he had a HT. Would his hair appear "uniformly dense", or "some areas fuller than others"?

Bill,

I might suggest based on what I wrote above that it would depend on lighting. I think approximate uniform density, however, is important. Dense packing one side significantly more than the other could certainly leave an imbalanced look especially in certain lights.

Bill

Dont you guys think this over analysis can be a bit neurotic?

Finnari-
Do you want to become neurotic after?
Have a smoke, tell a joke.. Get in the chair. You want to circumvent the knowledge at your feet.
Don't come back teary eyed.
Since you are in AZ. A visit to Dr. Keene might prevent you from doing anything stupid.

Actually, I think Bill has a valid point not to be dismissed. Not sure I understand in the example however why this person received 70 cm2 on one side then 130 cm2 on the other??

IF you have someone with 100 cm2 of native hair in the crown that's still dense as ever, but their midscalp and frontal third are bald, you may take the strategy of going with 60-70 cm2 on the first pass to see how they blend. You can always go back and add more later, AND, I think you'll hear arguments on the negative side of graft survival if you start dense packing more than 60-70 cm2 in one pass.
