Thanks, @OliverAtom Appreciate you. This patient conducted his follow-up with Dr. Arocha after he moved away - so I believe he had a family member or a friend take these images. It was nice to see the visible improvement post-tp!

@FailedFUE I sent you a message! Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thanks for creating this, Al!

Thank you gentlemen for taking the time to view and comment on our beard restoration case.What Dr Arocha likes about this case is that it demonstrates the difference that one month makes in the evolution of a hair restoration outcome. The moustache/goatee were done 6 months prior, the cheek/sideburn area only 5 months ago. So while he looks good already the earlier procedure is ahead in growth. We are happy for the patient and looking forward to his full grown in result!

I wanted to share something a bit different today. This patient had an FUE Beard Transplant over two sessions. During his first session, Dr. Arocha worked on the mustache and goatee area. A month later, the patient came back in for his second session, where Dr. Arocha worked on the sides. He had approximately 1,269 grafts in the first session and 1,249 grafts during his second FUE. After images were taken 6 months after the first procedure and 5 months after his second procedure. He's still got some growing to do but has some great growth already.

@Melvin- Admin - Dr. Arocha did not take any with the hair clipped up, but we have something better: a part-width examination across the top. Remember, this is early on - at 8 months post-procedure. In these images, you can see an improvement in density.

Thanks, Melvin, Next time the patient comes back in, we will have Dr. Arocha use the same clip to take photos!

This patient came to see Dr. Arocha because he was starting to experience thinning in his hairline. He decided to go with an FUE procedure. Dr. Arocha and team did a 2000 graft procedure, and the after images were taken three years later. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

Dr. Arocha did a 2500 graft FUE on this patient to restore density. The after images were taken 8 months after his procedure. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

Thank you! We appreciate the kind words!

This patient came to Dr. Arocha as a Norwood VII. Dr. Arocha did a 2590 FUT procedure. The after images were taken three years after this patient's surgery. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

Al-formerly BeHappy, That is a wise position. Remember that the hair undergoing miniaturization in the temples, is under the influence of DHT. Hence, the anagen growth phase is progressively cut shorter. The caliber becomes progressively finer, creating caliber mis-match between the local remaining hair and the not affected transplanted hair. So I usually prefer to use smaller number of grafts, one hair, and the finer hairs available. This is imperative to create softer, and less dense results in the temples that can withstand the test of time. All the best, Bernard Arocha, MD, Diplomate ABHRS, Fellow ISHRS

This patient underwent a 2507 graft FUT procedure with Dr. Arocha to enhance his hairline and frontal region. The after images were taken 3.5 years after his original procedure. The patient moved away, and he self-submitted his after images to our clinic, which is why they are shown with a different background.

@Al - formerly BeHappy Dr. Arocha transplanted about 200 grafts on the right, and 150 grafts on the left side.

Thank you, all. @Al - formerly BeHappy I've asked Dr. Arocha how many grafts were placed in the temples and should have an answer for you shortly. In the meantime, I'll see if I can pull a photo of graft placement!
