After viewing both...............

 

I think the results of Patient 1 who received the 1353 grafts aren't that impressive. Just IMO, but if you look at the "more than 1 year post op" pic on the right side, density at the hairline/temple area where filled in seems marginal versus the rest of his hair.

 

Patient 2's results look pretty good. For an apples/apples comparison I'd liked to have seen a before shot without holding his hair back.

 

He seems to use a "bat wing" style hair line on each which seems to look natural on both.

Pat, as you know I am not about doctor bashing as a common practice. I think more gets accomplished for US (the sufferers) with a logical approach, rather than relentless torching. Of course, at some point room for that exists, as we have seen on this forum at times With that said, I think I see a commonality between the temple work of this patient and the temple work of embarassed1. I am not impressed whatsoever with the way the transplanted hair blends into the existing native hair, nor am I impressed with the sparse temple points intended to softly recede into the more dense point behind the hairline. I think it looks overdone and does not look very natural. Two things: This is either a difference in artistic approach or simply the result of erratic graft recipient sites and subsequent graft placement. Is this the worst transplant we have ever seen? No. But given the situation involving this particular clinic I am inclined to be a little more focused on the finer portions of the actual HT, instead of pronouncing Dr. Willaims fit to rejoin the coalition. Of course this is only my opinion, so I welcome those of you who feel as if this is top quality work, so we can compare views.

Based on the pictures provided, I think they look very good. But that said, I think the quality of the "one year" pictures themselves really suck. They are dark and just show a general far away look. The post op pictures have pretty good lighting.

 

With that in mind, I give the Doctor an "F", for the simple reason that if he had weeks to post some pics and that's what he put up, then I'm inclined to feel a bit fleeced. Just show your work. It looks to be okay, so show it UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

 

Sorry Doc, but if you didn't realize the extreme difference in lighting between the two sets, especially given the circumstances at hand, then I would have to believe you're not ready to work on our community.

There was some interesting post the other day about how involved a doc should be during the placement of grafts. Some thought the doc should be involved with the placement the whole time, othes thought just the hairline, but it seemed all thought the final result is the docs resposibilty. I know why he was taken off the list recommended, and I would not reccommend him for his error in judgement in his staff, even if his pics are ok. just my thoughts.

The doctor appears to be using ultra refined techniques. However, there is more to a high quality transplant than using small blades. Part of it has to do with how the transplanted hair blends with the native hair. I have to agree with the others that patient one's temple points do not blend well. Maybe patient 1 is just not a good example. Patient 2 results are more impressive. I think I would need some more examples and I would be interested in seeing some patients with more extensive hair loss.
