Senior Member Stuart01 Posted June 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2009 Patient is a Norwood Class VI. He 42 years old and had a previous transplant 10 years ago at another clinic. They gave him appox. 1200 grafts spread out thru his entire scalp from front to back. It left him with a very thin and unnatural look. He has been very unhappy with the look he has been left with. He came to Dr. Panine with the expectation of improving his frontal look and with the understand that he will never have a full head of hair and probably not much coverage to in the crown because of his degree of hair loss and available donor. Dr. Panine was able to remove 2,439 grafts which were stratigically placed into the frontal 1/2 of his scalp. Due to the fact he already had one session previously and likes to wear his hair very short Dr. Panine did not want to get real aggressive and remove a larger strip and leave him with a bad scar in his donar area. He does have enough donor for another procedure if he every elects to have one. The break down of grafts were 801 single hairs, 1000 2 hairs, and 1002 3 hairs for a total of 5,807 hairs. I am employed as the patient coordinator and office manager for Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic. Feel free to ask me any questions. Dr. Panine is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians I am not a medical professional and my opinions should not be interperted as medical advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted June 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2009 He definitely looks improved, and @ only 7months that's a very encouraging result. Very difficult situation he was in, and I'm sure if he ever elects to have another procedure his front can be finished off. You took a ton of heat early on, but, IMO, you've definitely risen your game way up there -- posting impressive work, and postings regularly, to boot! ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Regular Member realhair Posted July 2, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted July 2, 2009 This patient has come along way, I could not image walking around with a bad looking transplant. His front looks good hopefully he goes in for one more session for more density. Looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
