    mick - thank you for your compliment mercury.....i do my best to be as accurate as i can with the before and afters, i did try to show the density of the central area but in retrospect it would have helped to show more ofa part as well.... as it is only 5 months we will be following up again in another 3 months or so - i will take some update pics - thanks for your feedback

    youonlyliveonce, rcwest, maatj, spex, futurehtdoc....appreciate your positive feedback mattj - for a treatment of this size, we don't need to shave down the whole donor area and in this instance the patient wanted to return to a normal appearance/hair style as soon as possible....certainly if we are shooting for 1500 - 2000 grafts, this approach would not be possible i do want point out that i notice the phrase "low number of grafts" is used quite often it seems without taking into context the patient's profile and size of area to be treated - for this patient, 852 was the appropriate number for the zone of thinning for which he found bothersome and it did allow an easier transition post-op which was an important factor as well. youonlyliveonce - the density in the hairline zone is @ 35 fus/cm2 -OH

    Recently saw this patient in follow-up. He had his procedure in July. Progress right on target if not slightly ahead of the game at this stage. Will update again in about 4 - 6 months. Below is the link to the initial thread: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/157025-dr-dorin-2556-fut-healing-sequence.html

    thanks Sparky......there definitely have been some scar revisions presented but it couldn't hurt to see more as I know there are a lot of patients out there who could benefit from the current techniques

    Janna....very natural result, much improved contour and for six months great density in the temporal region....good stuff*

    Patient had received treatment from an outside provider that unfortunately left him with a poorly managed donor area - the scar measured @ 13c mm at its widest. A typical ultra-refinded scar is @ .5 mm to 1 mm. Dr. Dorin removed the previous scar and utilized 623 follicular units from the revision strip to bolster density centrally and to the interior of the left hairline.

    Hairline treatment for this patient consisted of 401 singles, 438 doubles, and 13 threes - a total of 1316 hairs transplanted.

    Dr. Dorin performed FUE on this patient to reestablish his hairline and restore density to the frontal region. 1441 follicular units were extracted and transplanted - 667 singles, 661 doubles, and 113 threes - a total of 2,328 hairs. This procedure was done in one session of @ 5.5 hours. Patient has a donor supply of about 7000 grafts, medium/coarse hair, age 30, using Propecia for 2 years now

    Mick good points thank you......i thought you were actually joking about the picture but I will quell your curiousity...its Dr. Dorin:)

  21. orangehair

    Christine - great job of matching up the before & afters.... no question there is development that the patient should be excited about - looking forward to seeing what the next 5 months brings*

    Dr. True performed a 1619 graft FUT to restore this patient's hairline for a more youthful appearance. Propecia is being used to manage the vertex. The breakdown is 555 singles, 942 doubles, and 122 threes - a total of 2805 hairs. - @ 6000 donor availabilty, medium - moderately coarse hair, early 40's.

    This patient goes back a few years with us. Prior to our intervention, he had undergone a few treatments in the late 80’s & early 90’s with an outside provider that was using standard punch grafts and mini grafts at the time. As evidenced by the photos, his result was not natural, the hairline being pluggy and too vertical in orientation. He also had open donor areas as well as wide strip scars on the right and left sides. Dr. True initially did two mini-strip sessions - smaller due to the extensive scarring from the previous surgeries elsewhere. At the same time, FUE was used to to thin the punch grafts. 2708 grafts were place into the interior of the hairline and central front/top. Dr. True then made the necessary transition to pure FUE harvesting with focus on softening the hairline edge and adding to the forelock region. Hair was also added to the donor area to improve the strip scars from the treatments the patient had before us. Ultimately 2 FUE sessions totaling 1674 grafts were performed. Overall, @8300 hairs were transplanted to achieve a more acceptable and natural appearance for this patient.
