Dear forum members,

Recently, Pat Hennessey, Publisher of the Hair Transplant Network visited with and evaluated Dr. Rosanelli of the San Francisco Bay by observing live surgery. See Pat's Visit to Dr. Tom Rosanelli in San Francisco.

Dr. Rosanelli and his large staff of 10 medical technicians have extensive experience in performing follicular unit hair transplantation using microscopes to dissect follicular unit grafts.

Though Dr. Rosanelli has the staff and experience to perform sessions of over 3000 grafts in a single session, he believes session sizes under 3000 grafts provide his patients with optimal graft survival rates and hair growth.

This patient received 5209 grafts in 2 hair transplant session. The pictures below are only 13 months after his first surgery and 8 months after his second surgery.

3/14/2007: 2700 Grafts First Surgery
9/12/2007: 2509 Grafts Second Surgery

I would have expected much more density with 5200 grafts;

C'mon, Bill. What the point in posting this result? This better not be a prelude to another "We want to add him to the coalition docs--want do you guys think?" thread. Sorry to say so for this guy, but nm315 pretty much got it right.

How long is this after the 2nd surgery??? If it's been awhile than i agree with the wtf this coulda' been better opinions.

Oh the poor patient! This just goes to show the difference between a top quality doctor and ... others.

Let's start with hairline placement. With no temple work whatsoever, this was just not a natural placement. Why no higher density in the hairline, tapering into less coverage towards the crown?

Next, why does this doctor think survival rate is less optimal when over 3,000 graft sessions are used when H&W does it every single day of the year? I think this doctor still has a long way to go to be considered optimal.

Bill - I'm glad that you posted these photos, but I trust you agree these are certainly not optimal results.

I should add, if anyone clicks on the link, you'll also see my other concerns with Dr. Rosanelli - look at the scar that is partially sutured (looks lumpy and uneven and not at all tight), the low coverage for the crown and weeks later I'm still waiting to see full post-operative photos.

I agree with everyone else! This poor guys donar supply is propably pretty close to used up and the results are not up to the standards we've become acustomed to. Hopefully these pics are immediatly following his 2nd procedure.

Dear forum members,

I appreciate your input on this photo album.

Dr. Rosanelli is being considered for potential recommendation, not the Coalition. See our recommendation standards here.

I agree that the pictures on this thread certainly aren't "wow" results. One potential issue here is that this patient's hair appears to be ultra fine which probably makes any illusion of hair density hard to achieve. Additionally, a greater number of grafts appear to have been placed in the crown and the middle section than the hairline. Without knowing the patient's overall goals, it's difficult to say why this may be.

That said, in looking at the surgical details I received, it appears that this patient is only 13 months out from his first hair transplant surgery. I do not have the date of his second surgery. If these pictures are taken after his second surgery, he probably can't be that far out. I have sent an email to the clinic asking for clarification about this, placement of the grafts, and patient's goals.

Remember that most clinics come forward to post only their most impressive "wow" results online. But instead of posting only the "best" photos, I am posting the results as I get them so members can get a good feeling of his overall achievements. If you look at some of the other photo albums, much more impressive ones exist and certainly deserve commenting.

I also want to say that I know many patients are enamored with large hair transplant megasessions however, it is not the only philosophy worth considering.

Best wishes,

Bill
