I did speak with this patient today. I told him I agreed that there appears to be sub optimal growth from the procedure that was done in May of 2012. I do have immediate post operative photos that clearly shows the large number of follicular unit grafts we transplanted. He agreed to come to clinic for follow up visit to determine what options he has at this point. I assured him that I am seriously concerned about his situation and will try all I can to make him as happy as possible under the circumstances. The reality is that hair transplant patients do not all get great results and unfortunately most of the time we do not have an exact answer as to why this happens.

Doctor in sydney
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to bobbyfoo's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
There are several very good hair transplant surgeons in Sydney, but not sure if they do FUE. You will need to call all of the reputable clinics there and inquire about their FUE experience. -
Zig-Zag Approach to make a Hairline ?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to augustya's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
The term we often use to describe the hairline approach is creating a regular irregularity. Meaning there has to be a certain degree of randomness to give a natural appearance. However, there also has to be some method to the madness. You could also call this Zig Zag hairline design. -
Using FUE to fix sideburns
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to TonyStark83's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
When I perform a hair transplant to the side burn area I usually find the part of the donor area that has the most coarse hairs. I have not done beard hairs to the side burns, but I do see why this could not be tried. However, I do not think that body hair transplants including fro the beard are as successful as grafts obtained from the scalp. -

Staple removal--12 days? Longer?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to aceman's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
No big difference between 12 and 14 days. However, when you start wait any longer than 2 weeks the skin starts to grow over the staples and it can become more difficult and painful to remove them. -
Should I rub the scabs off?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to SV_08's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If you apply some vitamin E oil or baby oil to the area that has remaining scabs for 5-10 minutes before you shower, most of the scabs will slide off with the shampooing of your hair. -
Nizoral Vs Revita
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to chicagoguy123's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Nizoral is a very good shampoo but is not meant for every day usage. Better if used 2-3 times per week. Sulphate free shampoos are safe to use on a daily basis. Unless you are also considering using a Minoxidil shampoo. -
Swelling won't leave
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to tacolinowest's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Now that you already have the swelling, sleeping upright would be the best thing for you. I generally have my patients sleep on back at 20-25 degree angle so if there is any swelling it will spread out and not settle only in the facial region. -
Staple removal--12 days? Longer?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to aceman's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If things were tight they would have told you to wait a longer period of time before removing staples. you could take every other staple out at day 12 and wait 1-2 days before taking out the rest. -
Transplanting hair to entire scalp?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to aman123's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Unfortunately, the hair loss process does not happen to patients in one day and you can to restore the hair in one day either. Since you are so young you should only consider hair restoration in the frontal part of your scalp leaving a conservative hairline. -
Picking at scabs in donar area
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to stevieenright's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
You cannot pull out the hair follicles at this point ( 1 month post-op). I do agree with gentle rubbing/ messaging to get the scabs off. Keep in mind that for the first few months after the procedure the original hair in the areas that were transplanted and close to donor wound are more fragile.- 5 replies

can melatonin pills trigger Alopecia areata?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to rix3333's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
I have never read or head of Melatonin playing any role in the hair loss process. Boosting the immune system most likely would not cause a Autoimmune disease or process to develop. -

In growing hair after transplant
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to hairshopeing's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If the lesions cleared up in one day that it is very unlikely that your hair growth will be effected. If you ever are getting several of these bumps in a particular area and it is red and hot you should notify your doctor right away. This could be a sign of a local infection and may need to be treated with an antibiotic. -
So is caffeine good or bad after HT?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to Bonaparts's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I agree that moderation is the key. It is unlikely that small amounts of caffeine consumption will cause negative effects. On the other hand I do think that consuming significant amounts of caffeine on a regular basis will at some point lead to negative effects on the patient. -
Crown Styling/density
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to Cant decide's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I agree that the patient and the doctor should really plan out any area being transplanted. Hopefully this will prove to give the patient the most coverage and utilize the donor hair as wisely as possible.
