PleaseGrowPlease-
I have been purposefully placing recent cases on the photo album section so that members may follow along in real time with patient progress.
As I have had other requests in addition to yours, I will be placing some "grown out" examples in the near future as my schedule permits.
I have been involved in Hair Restoration Surgery for 5-6 years now.

I don't know why everybody is saying nice result. That is not yet the final results and 1000grafts in the hairline is not going to give a huge impact in terms of density and aesthetics

Thanks doc but grown out pics is what we CRAVE. Ive seen hundreds of immediate post op pics with no final result ever shown. When you have time it would be nice to see maybe 5 postop pics from day one to month 6-10

Anouar I think Pat was the only one who used the word result but was commenting on the work not the final result. You right though 1000 grafts will not be a huge impact . Now if all 1800 were used then thats a different story but maybe they have a second surgery in mind. Some doctors prefer to do it in stages since hardly anyone just needs one surgery. The most impressive hairlines Ive ever seen had two surgeries . There are alot of one and done hairlines but even those could use a little refinement

Dear forum members,

I have been asking Dr. Carman for examples of surgical and grown out patient results. I'm pleased to see that he has been getting involved with us and posting immediately postoperative pictures so far. I expect we will see some true result pictures in the near future.

Best wishes,

Bill

Anouar,

The session above is for 1821 grafts, not 1000 grafts, and placed in a small area like above should make for a very nice cosmetically pleasing result.

ok Bill. if you want me to be precise I'll do that. 1121 in the front the rest went in the back. You still think he is going to get nice coverage in the front as well as the crown. I seriously doubt it. I had a 1000g in my hairline at the time when my hairline was like his and to be honest it still looked thin

Anounar,

I think you'll be surprised at how a little can sometimes go along way depending on placement and hair characteristics.

If you look at some of the closeups, the hairline is relatively densely packed (as said above approximately 40 FU / cm2).

The average density of hair for those with no loss is 80 FU / cm2. One typically only needs to acheive 50% of their original hair density to achieve an illusion of fullness.

The crown will clearly be a little thinner, but this patient can always go for more surgery in the future. Many surgeons won't transplant too much in the crown on patients with minimal loss and a young age to prevent the possibility of the halo effect. See Why is My Hair Transplant Doctor Waiting to Transplant Hair in the Crown? written by Dr. Beehner who is one of our recommended hair transplant surgeons.

Regards,

Bill

Anouar,

I used the word results, but if you notice I said *at this stage*. After looking at thousands of before during and afters, you get a sense of how things will turn out. Of course we are all interested in the final outcome, I would think many of the other members can tell a good procedure at this stage.
