Regular Member KulMD Posted December 16, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2007 I believe about 2000 grafts in the front and 1300 in the crown. Originally, the plan was 1800 front & 1200 crown. Fortunately, Dr Feller offered me the additional 300 which he knew exactly where to place based upon our pre-op plan of action. Besides being a high caliber surgeon, he takes an individual approach to each patients needs. Other patients would have requested that the additional grafts be placed in the graft based upon their preferences. Dr. Feller listens, provides his opinion and puts the mutually agreed upon plan in action. No surprises! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted December 16, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2007 KulMD, What superd looking work. You will be ecstatic with the results in a years time. Very refined and clean surgery. No doubt that you have made a good choice going with Dr. Feller. I do have a couple of questions so please don't read anything negative into them, but I am one that does like to observe and become more knowledgeable. 1. I have noticed in a couple of recent threads that Dr. Feller will draw in a hairline or area to transplant and then seems to go outside of this. For example with you, he went lower than where the hairline was drawn. Do you know why? Was it actually a line to indicate where density would change? 2. The scar appears to "straighten" above ear. Usually incisions won't heal as easily when there is an abrupt angle.(Possibly just photo angle) Any idea of why? Possibly if he continued upwards it might have approached border of safe zone? Again, I look at all details. Out of curiousity I ask questions. Not to invoke anything negative as this is obviously top notch work. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Kulmd, I have attempted to find you in the hair loss weblog admin and can't find your alias "KulMD" or the email address you have registered. If you want to email me privately at help@hairtransplantnetwork.com I'll be happy to help get your blog activated. By the way, the postoperative work looks great. I look forward to following your progress. NN, Good observation on the hairline. I am not sure I am seeing the same thing as you on the scar though. The angle changes slightly which is normal, but I am missnig an "abrupt" angle change. I do agree however, that abrupt angle changes could create a problem. Either way, I'll look forward to Dr. Feller's response on this. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted December 16, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2007 If you look at the hairline though, he also outlines a jagged line, so he did have a marking as to where the hairline would end. What I noticed about Feller's work, my own included, is how small the incisions are and how little blood and scabbing there is. Good grwoing to you KULMD...we should be sprouting together just in time for the spring!

Regular Member KulMD Posted December 16, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks for the feedback. I had such minimal scabbing that I wondered if something was wrong. Apparently not. It must be the small incisions with those miniature 0.6 & 0.8mm blades. He takes great pride in his work and is meticulous in his detailed plan. He did tell me that he expected very little scabbing. I had no bleeding or drainage and have been just shampooing, applying Aloe and E and wearing a hat. I have an appt with the good Doc tomorrow for staple removal. As far as the hairline being lower than the marking, I am not sure. He was explaining his technique to me, but I was a bit Valiumed out to remember much. All I know is that with my native hair, I can cover 90% of the recipient site. This is without concealers and a pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
