Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 This patient is a 44 year old gentleman from Seattle, Washington, who is 1 year out from his transplant. His main concern was restoring his hairline and filling in the balding areas in the frontal scalp. He was a NW 3/4 who had 3852 grafts placed in the front part of his scalp in 1 session. Specifics: 26.0 cm x 1.8 cm strip 1 hair grafts: 512 2 hair grafts: 2315 3 hair grafts: 1025 I saw him last month up in my Seattle, Washington office where the post operative photos were taken. I did not have my usual set up so the lighting and background are different from the preoperative photos. He will be coming down to my Portland office in the future where additional photos will be obtained. I included intraoperative photographs showing the slit design and placement as well as immediate postoperative photographs.

Senior Member Sparse Posted October 7, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2009 This result is impressive: it looks like the sort of outcome we've all come to associate with Hasson & Wong (the highest praise I can give)!

Senior Member azn_guy Posted October 12, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2009 Dr Gable, The results are very very impressive. With that said, you guys decided with over 3000+ grafts. Is there any expectation to have a 2nd procedure done? Or were you pretty confident with this being most likely a "one and done" deal? Also, how many more grafts does this patient potentially have?

Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I appreciate all the positive comments for this result. This patient is very active in the Seattle area and it has met his expectations and goals form the procedure. Azn-guy-001: Right now, he is satisfied with the result he obtained. We had originally discussed a possible second procedure, but we were able to accomplish his goals with only one. He does understand that hair loss is progressive, and he may require a procedure down the line, but after our last conversation, he is going to enjoy the results. Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been in and out of the country traveling with family and friends. I spent a ton of time last summer training for the Ironman and was able to participate and finish Ironman Canada a couple months ago in Penticton, Canada. Now that I've had a little time off, I'm starting to train again to compete in next years Ironman Canada 2010 in August 2010.
