If you have experience at all in hair transplantation, you should by now simply by looking at the before photos on this particular patient .......(very thin hair shafts, poor quantity of available donor hair for hair transplantation. Clearly only a modest improvement can be achieved even in the best of hands, We can only redistribute his own existing hair. This is clearly explained to the patient and he understands and is actually quite happy with the result. Especially with the fact the simultaneously with the hair transplantation he got a Facelift and a blepharoplasty( Eyelids), All in one session. THIS IS THE POINT OF SHEARING THIS WITH YOU ALL. Did you notice at all the changes face and neck, with minimally detectability of scars and natural and rejuvenated appearance? (Of course we all have cases of patients with thick coarse hair and high density of the donor areas, then the results are very different of course)

62 year old man interested in facial rejuvenation and hair transplantation. He has limited donor hair and wanted to do both procedures combined at the same time so that the hair that was removed during the facelift could be used as well. A total of 2827 follicular unit grafts were transplanted all in a single session. Barrera, A. Facelift and Hair Transplantation as a Single Procedure. Plast. Reconstr. Surg.104(6) 1831- 1838,1999

30 year old patient who had several previous procedures in another country. The surgical plan was established to remove the plugs and cut them down to recycle them. The front hairline was too low so a section of scalp was removed to elongate and provide a better aesthetically natural contour of the frontal hairline. A total of 3188 follicular unit grafts were then implanted into the recipient areas.
