Regular Member drmckenzie Posted May 7, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted May 7, 2008 John told me at his 10 month follow-up that he feels his hair transplant procedure has taken 15 years off of his appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Dr. McKenzie, Nice work! He definitely looks a lot younger with hair! I also like that this hairline is softer in appearance (which is even more evident when I detach the image and view its full size) than one of your other patients in another album. I know however, that hair characteristics play a major role and sometimes a "soft" hairline is harder to create with course hair. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dabuski Posted May 7, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2008 My immediate thought was that it looks a tad false, although he still has plenty of maturing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted May 7, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2008 Bill---for 2800 grafts in the frontal 1/3 which should average 40 fu's cm/2 there is more of a uniform thinness, which I would not categorize as a "soft" hairline. Additionally, judging by the immediate post-op pics I would expect that you could not see through the entire transplanted area, which after growth, you can. I personally would categorize this as a "solid start" in the hopes that an additional 2000-2500 grafts will be used to provide density and extend coverage "back" from the mid-scalp region in order to complete the look. dabuski--I think your seeing a hairline that is a bit more youthful in placement, but lacking additional density 2-2.5cm behind the hairline which can be a bit "odd" when the patient wears this type of hairstyle. However to be fair and impartial, it should be noted that the patient has his hair combed straight back which can be very unflattering and not wholly indicative of the work.

Bill - Seemiller Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Jason, If you blow up the picture of the hairline, you can clearly see that the hairline is not uniform in density with the rest. It may not be the softest hairline in the world, but I wouldn't classify it as "hard" either. Besides, I said it is softer in appearance than one of his other posted albums - I didn't say it was a "soft" hairline. I do agree however, that this hair transplant is a nice start and can certainly add density and coverage in a second pass. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Byehair Posted May 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2008 I think the earring is kind of creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
