Dr. Alexander,

Your work is worldclass and obviously very skilled but I would have to say that this isn't one of my favorites. Ofcourse the recipient area is very natural and by no means does it look pluggy or anything, but the transition to temples or the lack of temple points is a factor. I can't exactly describe things other than to say that it has a very slight hint of looking odd when combed back. Likely if temple points where done or there was more of a light, gradual hairline. Ofcourse it is still a cosmetic improvement, but but not batting 1000 this time in my opinion.

Possibly I just don't like the slicked back look because the dry forward style looks good. Not sure???? Would like to hear others input.

nn,

Its definitely not a 'wow' result but a really mature hairline strategy won't produce that 'wow'.
I think the work looks excellent though and he''ll look very good at 60. lol

Think of jack nicholson

I agree with NN; the work looks refined and state-of-the-art, but when I seen the picture of the hair slicked back, something looked a little "off" to me. Maybe it could be the hair/skin contrast, I'm not exactly sure; the hairling doesn't look as "feathered/soft", if you will, that I have seen in other post-op pics on this site; don't get me wrong, the patient looks much better than pre-op and the work is clean; maybe to the average Joe they wouldn't notice, maybe we/I are/am more critical because I/we know what to look for and critique the pictures with a fine tooth comb;

I agree with dhoose,
This is proof that HTs still have to be improved. Dr Alexander does great hairlines but in this case thanks to the gel it seems obvious. The hair is too thick for such a high hairline IMO. One does not keep that much hair on front with all that temple receding

Maybe Im blind but for only 2000 grafts on a bald head,I think thats a good job .I would bet the guys in his late 40s or early 50s .
Its only been a year so the hairline will soften . His hair looks exactly like my uncles and hes never had work done.

I'm going to agree with PGP. I see nothing wrong with the transition of the temple points to the hairline. I think the hair transplant looks very natural and based on the number of follicular unit grafts used, this patient has decent hair density.

I bet this patient is very pleased with his work.
