It really does look bad and unlike any other post ops from the top surgeons. Maybe there is a method and reason to it that the Dr. can explain?

Hopefully the final result will be to cb's satisfaction.

What i didnt mention is Ive have had a procedure done with Dr Molton 3 years ago, atm im 31...the surgery with dr moton was supposely 1200 grafts but he was utter shit and turned out to be 500 grafts...so in the pictures pre op those hairs in the middle area are mainly his handy work, so they will remian there when these others grow in...i guess the best thing to do is to look at the results when it grows out
To answer your question pat

1. the look i wanted to acheive was not the entire head but mainly the part above the crown and around it, she told me she couldnt do the bottom area, to leave room for future loss, she said if i can live with the top part done it would be 1000 grafts
2. my long term was this is the final procedure but i might decide on more since this experience has been no way bad for me

3. yes , but not how it was to be spaced etc, she knows what she is doing , but did mention layering etc, which i think she is trying to achieve here

4. seeno 1

5. this was a strip and she cut out the old scar.

let me know what Dr Jens reasoning is but im sure she knows what she is doing, and dont grill her cos i thought she did a great job...

"Perhaps she feels that while this pattern does not look natural immediately post op it will when it grows out."

I credit Pat for being exceedingly diplomatic and optimistic on this one, but in my opinion anybody who knows what they're looking at would consider this work disastrous. jagdish anyone? i would also ask how jojojo1 could find this to be great work without being a shill for Martinick. I, too, hope this grows out to be better than it looks.

L'Anonyme,

I would not compare this to Jagdish, different size graft incisions. He got minis, these are combined 1s to add density - DFU's and TFU's. The incisions do not look large enough for minis.

On the other thread Charlie mentioned that 2000 hairs were transplanted, for 1200 grafts which means he is loaded with 1's and 2's. His hair does look thin in the donor, asian maybe?

Not taking up for her in any way since I do not like the pattern, but it may not be a disaster. I think Jagdish got old technology, this looks like Charlie has weak donor traits and will fight an uphill battle to acheive any density. Maybe JOJO has not seen other crown work on this site by H&W, Felller, Gabel etc.

By the way he paid over 9$ a graft for this!!!!! WTF.

Charlie,

I am glad that you feel satisfied with your experience. The truth is however, that the immediately postoperative results are questionable and not what many members (including myself and Pat) are used to seeing on a regular basis by those hair restoration physicians performing ultra refined follicular unit grafting.

Though it is the end result (1 year postop) that will matter, one can tell a lot by the immediately post op photos. I have made my observations already so I won't repeat them again.

Of course, we all do wish you the best given the circumstances - but please understand that you will not achieve a significant cosmetic improvement with this surgery.

L'Anonyme,

I agree with nobuzz that these immediately postoperative results cannot be compared to that of what was performed on Jagdish however, the call of concern is the same.

Pat has already sent an email to Dr. Martinick on the matter and we are awaiting her response.

Thanks,

Bill

Pat and Bill,

Thanks for remaining diplomatic and looking into things. Bill said it best that this is not what we are used to seeing from physicians doing refined work, but lets give her the benefit of the doubt that maybe she has created some unique technique to create a better illusion of density in a case such as this. Yes this statement is possibly foolishly optimistic, but I am hoping for the best.

It certainly is time to see some more of her work and an explanation for this because in my opinion it is a kick in the teeth to see shotty work by physicians that many of us are endorsing. I for one prefer to make referal to only those physicians that I have seen a good deal of work posted irregardless of credentials. Just my thoughts.

The similarity between my HT and this HT is the placement of grafts in stadium rows style. With experience I can say, when the hair is grown longer it can not be noticed, but when you go for a buzz cut, it looks very odd.

Hi all

Dear Wanthair, first i agree that it looks weird that it looks like it in patterns, but i am sure than Dr Martinick had her reasons. And i am not involved with Martinick at all.

The reason why i said it looks good is because i am comparing it to other HT on this forum. This patient only had about 1200 grafts and it seems to have done a lot for the number of grafts. Also it dosnt look as bloody and fleshy like other transplants.

Thats all i have taken into consideration. But i do agree with everyone that this is kinda odd and its the first time i have seen it.

Jojo

i posted on charlies other thread and asked questions of dr martinick but said her work seemed ok.
However,after seeing this, if this is indeed dr martinicks work then her recommendation on this site should be immediately revoked.
I say 'if' because we know certain people have it in for her so this may not be what it seems.
Lets just wait for confirmation from pat or Bill before we judge.

josh-b,i was thinking this also,dr m had a lot of flack a month ago and we know mr joseph had many alias,s,so we should wait until she gives her side of events.
