Dr. Carman,

Thanks for posting. Immediately postoperative pictures look nice and clean and ultra refined.

I hope you'll have a chance in the near future to post some mature hair transplant results as well.

Thanks for participating!

Best wishes,

Bill

hey doc

the works looks good and certainly clean , i have a few questions , if you don't mind answering

how many grafts were put into the crown , and how many were used on the temple area ?

also do you sometimes shave the patient down or do you always insert the grafts with the exsiting hair left long ?

alot of guys on here always ask if docs have to shave down , some do , some don't , I'm interested in your take on this

thanks
richie

Richie48-
I'd be happy to answer your questions.
This patient had 700 FU grafts placed in the crown area, and 1121 FU grafts
in the bilateral temporal areas.
My staff and I prefer to keep the pre-existing hair long, as opposed to shaving it beforehand. We find that leaving the hair longer makes the creation of the sites and placement of the grafts a bit easier, as the pre-existing hair can be combed from side to side, or forward and backward, etc., giving us greater exposure of the underlying scalp. Also, we feel that, cosmetically, having the pre-existing hair left long places less of a burden on the patient in terms of the procedure being much less conspicuous. Again, I don't beleive there should be any hard fast rule re shaving or not; it really amounts to the individual surgeons preference.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,

Timothy Carman, MD

No offense, but Im worried more about the finished product. If shaving is gonna be better for the end result then so be it. Shave it!

BTW, Looks really good! Mis read comment. Sorry!

This result looks very nice at this stage. I think the density blending into the existing hairs outward into the area where it was more sparse looks natural. Nicely done Dr. Carman.

Thank You , Rambler.
