32 year old male, showing results one year after HT#1, which consisted of 1210 grafts, using "combination" approach with mostly FU's and MFU grafts in central regions.

Unless I'm missing something...that's a pretty impressive result with that graph total.

Maybe it's his hair type or the way he's styling it.

Some docs would have shaved him and that would be the typical 4000 + graph job.


MH

yeah.. me too feel thats too good for 1210 grafts... experts what say???

Very nice. I think it looks impressive with the small number of grafts too. Thanks Betsy for posting Dr. Pawlinga's work. Do you have hair count by chance?

His hair count was 3150, and his hair was unusually coarse in the donor area, which in our experience makes a big difference in how full even one or two sessions appears.

That looks great. Do you have any pics that show the roots, or grafts at the scalp?

I ask because you said it was a combination of FU's and MFU's, and I'm not sure what a MFU is.

I dont want to be a negative nancy, but there is no way in hell that thats only 1200 grafts. Unless hair cloning is now available! Dont get me wrong the results look great, but 1200 grafts is not even enough to establish the hairline for this gentleman. He may have coarse hair but come on!

a nice looking result,but im with dakota on the low graft count.unless that is,he is caked in concealer?

challenge the unchallenged.

Betsy,

Welcome to our discussion forum.

There is no question that there is an improved appearance especially given the graft/hair count and good hair characteristics, but how much at this point is difficult to tell from the pictures

The problem I have with the above is the that hairstyle in the before pictures have the sides combed down whereas in the after, some of the thick natural hair on the side is combed over the transplanted hair which is adding to the appearance of density.

Adding a "top down" after picture like you did with the before picture (sides combed down) would be extremely helpful to get a better understanding of what 1200 grafts and 3150 hairs can accomplish on this patient.

Thanks,

Bill
