Hi Guys, The doctors asked me to share this case before the weekend. This is a young patient who came to us to treat his aggressive hair loss. Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham decided a large FUT surgery was the most appropriate for him because of his age and where he needed the transplants done. His surgery with Dr Bloxham went smoothly, and 6 months later he came back to the clinic for a check-up and the doctors were very happy with how he looked. So they took videos and pictures, and wanted to share them here. Video: Pics: The patient is coming back at 12 months for another check-up, so we will update the thread with more pictures and video at that time. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Everyone, Dr. Feller asked me to upload this case. It's a 3,200 graft transplant performed by Dr. Bloxham at Feller & Bloxham Medical. The patient is a "diffuse thinner." And he is only 6 months post-op in the pictures. He stopped by unexpectedly the other day because he was in the area for business. The doctors thought he looked great and wanted to share. Video: Before and After pictures: Enjoy!

Hi everyone. Here's another Quick Video (Qik Vid) that shows Youtube before and after results of our hair transplantation at Feller and Bloxham. We hope you like this quick format. We know there are a lot of results to look at so we made these quick videos to allow for the fastest viewing of results that are useful.

Hi Guys, Posting the monthly case before we close shop for the weekend! This one is a 5,500 graft case done over two different FUT procedures. The first was a 3,000+ FUT performed several years ago by Dr. Feller and the second was a 2,500 graft FUT performed 7 months ago by Dr. Bloxham. The doctors like this case because it helps answer the question patients ask us all the time: "Can I 'slick' my hair back after my hair transplant?" Enjoy the video and pictures! Let us know if you think he "pulls off the slicked back look" as Dr. Bloxham puts it. -Tara Video: Photos:

Hi Everyone, Dr Bloxham and Dr Feller asked me to post this presentation for them. Temple Point Hair Transplant: Sometimes, Always, or Never? Feller & Bloxham, Great Neck, NY Recently, “temple point” hair transplants have been discussed heavily on the forums. This isn’t a new topic, but it is usually a somewhat passionate and opinioned one. I’ve always had my own thoughts on the issue of restoring the temple points or “temporal triangles,” but didn’t participate in the recent discussions. At the same time, I had a patient send me an update of his own 7 month temple point hair transplant results, and thought it would be an interesting opportunity to share the case and discuss the issue a bit. First, the case: The patient is a man in his 40s who underwent a number of hair transplant procedures at other clinics in the past. These were focused on the frontal-third and mid-scalp, and they worked well. But despite the coverage on the top, he continued receding and ended up thinning in the temple regions. And although he was covered well with the transplants, he wanted a more youthful framing to his face and didn’t feel like his transplant journey was “complete” without more defined temples. Here is how he looked before the surgery and an outline of our surgical plan: After multiple other FUT procedures, Dr Feller and I had to evaluate the donor carefully and determine if he had the grafts to do another small procedure and how we should extract them. We determined he had the laxity for one more small strip, and that the FUT technique was a best way to extract them. I was able to obtain 750 grafts via a strip and utilized the grafts strategically to rebuild the temple points. Attention was paid to recreate the natural flow, direction, and angle of the temple hairs, but also to match the density and appearance of the other transplants, and to look appropriate on someone his age (IE not excessively rigid or unnatural symmetrical). 7 months later, he sent in the following images: Here’s a video: These were sent by the patient, so I did my best to match them up to the pre-ops but obviously not a perfect comparison. And he’s only 7 months and will continue maturing. But the procedure achieved the desired effect -- more defined and youthful framing via temple point restoration. So why do temple point hair transplantation in this patient? And by extension, when should temple point restoration be done? When should it not be done? Almost always? Almost never? Or sometimes? Let’s discuss: Good indications and patients for temple restoration (“Almost Always”/ Sometimes): 1) Patients with significant loss in the temple regions in general. Now, this does not necessarily mean people who used to have slightly more defined temporal points and now they are a little more blunted or less dense. But for people who truly have thinning in this region. There is actually a scale for those who thin in a particular part of the temple region. It’s not necessarily the “temporal points” per say, but more the “superior temporal hairline” or the most anterior portion of the parietal hump. Here’s a picture of the scale: As you can see, these patients have thinning in the upper portion of the temple region and transplanting other areas of the scalp without addressing these regions may create a less natural appearance. This is what some people refer to the “toupee” look. In these patients, addressing the temple areas with or without transplanting other areas of the scalp is important for a natural appearance. 2) Patients with minimal loss who will not need extensive grafting in other areas of the scalp. 3) Patients with “softer” hair characteristics, finer hairs, and minimal contrast between the coloration of the skin and hair. 4) Somewhat older patients with more stable and predictable loss. Poor indications and patients for temple restoration (“Almost Never”): 1) Young patients with unstable loss who may need a significant number of grafts in more important “foundation” regions up the road. 2) Patients who aren’t suited by a more aggressive and immature hairline design. 3) Patients/cases with recession in the fronto-temporal “angles.” If a patient has a significant amount of recession in the corners, rebuilding the temple points can actually accentuate this recession and make the corners look further back in comparison to the temple points that are now further forward 4) Patients with thick, coarse, dark hair and a more noticeable contrast between hair and skin tone. The temple hairs, particularly those in the very front parts of the temple, are very fine. Even with an appropriate amount of singles, coarse, dark, hairs may stand out and look somewhat artificial in the temple triangles. So, comparing the patient in the case to the above list: he was a man of an appropriate age with stable hair loss, transplants in the foundation regions of the scalp, recession in the temple regions, and fairly favorable hair and skin characteristics. We felt he was an appropriate candidate and I think it went well. What do you think? Good criteria for when to do and when to reconsider temple point transplants? Or should they be attempted more often? Less often? Discuss! And I hope you enjoyed. Dr Bloxham

Hi everyone. Dr. Feller and Bloxham know that everyone is crunched for time so they made a playlist of some of their results that anyone can breeze through very quickly. They call it "QUICK VIDS" . It uses quick paced music and fast images to keep the momentum going. I think it's a really good idea and shows a large number of results in the shortest period of time. Here are three of the Quick Vids. There are more.

Hi Everyone, We received a lot of positive feedback on our first "Buzzcuts by Bloxham" video, so Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham decided to put together another one. In this video, we show a 3,600 graft FUT right after surgery with Dr Bloxham, and a 3,100 graft FUT 10 days after his surgery with Dr Bloxham (when he came in for staple removal). Of course we want to know, do these two cases look like "buzz cuts?" Enjoy the video -Tara

Hi Everyone, Below Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham discuss a 3,100 graft FUT case as they "comb through" the actual result. Enjoy the video! -Tara

Hi Everyone, Below is a video of a 6,500 graft repair patient from Feller & Bloxham. The patient first came to us to fix unnatural, old-style work he had done somewhere else. He's now had 3 procedures totaling over 6,500 grafts with both Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham. Enjoy! -Tara

Hi Everybody, Here is a 3,100 graft FUT done by Dr Feller at Feller & Bloxham Medical. Dr Feller used the grafts to restore the patient's entire front and middle parts of the scalp. Here is a video where Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham talk through the case: And here are the Before and After Pictures: Enjoy! -Tara

Hi Everyone, Below is a video of Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham discussing a 2,200 graft "mohawk buster" procedure performed by Dr Feller. Enjoy! -Tara

Hi, We know people are busy, and not everyone has time to watch long YouTube videos. So Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham decided to start a "Quick Peek" video series. In this series, a hair transplant case is presented in a short, quick manner, and then we all have time to go about our days! So make sure not to blink, or you might miss the "quick peek" (just kidding!). So here is the first "Quick Peek" video. It's a patient who underwent approximately 3,000 grafts as an FUT in one sitting. I hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for more "Quick Peek" videos in the future. -Tara

Hi everyone, Here is a patient who had 2,500 grafts FUT with Feller & Bloxham. He stopped by the clinic while he was in the area recently and we took some video of his 8 months results. Seems like 2,500 grafts made a big difference for him! Hope you enjoy the video.... -Tara

Hi everyone, Dr Feller has always been a fan of video recording the hair transplant process. He did this as early as 2002. He recently started going through old video files and found some interesting presentations from the early 2000s. He thought the hair transplant community may find some of these interesting, so he decided to put together some of these 'ancient' videos. Below is the first 'ancient hair transplant video.' What does everybody think? Ancient video but modern techniques all the way back in the early 2000s? Hope you enjoy.... -Tara

Here's another installment of Scar Search by Dr. Feller and Dr. Bloxham to show how small most FUT scars are. Enjoy everyone.

Hello everyone, Dr Bloxham and Dr Feller know there is always a lot of conversation about FUE vs FUT on the forums! But they recently noticed that a lot of people are talking not about the scarring or results or growth, but how the actual surgeries differ. It seemed like people may have seen videos of FUE surgeries being performed, but maybe not as many have seen an actual FUT surgery. So the doctors asked me to share a video they shot a while back of Dr Bloxham doing a strip surgery. Dr Bloxham asked me to share this.... The patient in this video is 10 months out from an FUT procedure focused on rebuilding his entire frontal scalp. He returned for another FUT to fill as much of the posterior mid scalp and anterior/central crown as possible. The surgery called for a slightly greater emphasis on coverage versus sheer density, and 1,500 grafts were extracted and used to achieve this goal. Note that the density is greatest on the left and the grafts arch from left to right to help maintain his natural whorl pattern. Here is the video. Warning.... it does show uncensored surgery. Enjoy!

Hi everyone, Dr Bloxham, Dr Feller, and the patients usually talk almost all day during surgery. One of the most common things they talk about is obviously hair transplants! Something almost every patient asks is "what am I going to look like when I leave today" (meaning after the procedure) and "how will it look in a few days or weeks." This is not an easy question to answer, but Dr Bloxham almost always tells patients that a properly performed transplant looks like a "buzz cut" after surgery. After telling this to a lot of patients, the doctors thought it would be a good idea to put it into a video. Below is a video of two Feller & Bloxham patients who had their surgery performed by Dr Bloxham. One is right after his procedure and the other is 12 days after on the day his staples were taken out. Is Dr Bloxham right? Does it look like a buzz cut? Enjoy! Tara Feller & Bloxham Hair Transplants

Hi, Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham asked me to post this interesting case for them. They said that most online results show transplants done in the hairline or the crown, but you don't see a lot of results showing work just in the top. But it is a common problem we see in the clinic, so there are probably a lot of patients online who want to see it as well. So here is a video showing a rebuild of the top with 3,000 grafts. Here are the pictures. Here is the top shot: And here Dr Feller separated the patient's own hair from the transplants to show it's not a comb over. The hair you see combed down is all transplants: And here is a picture showing the patient before, right after surgery, and grown out 10 months later: Enjoy, Tara Feller & Bloxham Hair Transplantation
