Guest josh - b Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm going for my first ht early in the new year. I'm a norwood 3 and looking to restore my hairline. I'm looking at a couple of doctors and would like peoples opinions on the work performed in the picture. Theres plenty of pics on this particular doctors website but i've plucked this as a good example. To the seasoned experts here...does this look good, refined etc?

Senior Member hoose Posted October 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 22, 2007 IMO, the actually area where the grafts were placed appears to be clean work, but it is kindo of hard to tell from the picture; however, the patient has a lot of area with thinning behind the frontal zone that should have been addressed; IMO this patient should have had a larger session to cover more of the frontal 1/3 instead of just the frontal zone; maybe that patient is going to come back in a year for another session or hope propecia helps in that area--I don't know the details of that particular case; IMO this person would have been ideal for a mega-session and maybe "one and done"; he will most likely need/want another surgery to address the mid-scalp area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any grown out pictures too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Josh, It's hard to tell based on the angle and size of the picture - but it appears that the work is refined and densely packed. Ultimately however, it is the grown out result that ultimately matters. Has this hair transplant patient posted any after pictures yet?

To the seasoned experts here...does this look good, refined etc? Yes and no. It looks clean but unless the guy has another procedure scheduled pretty soon he's screwed. The native forelock is extremely weak and the pattern that was transplanted is going to look brutally un-natural when it grows in and the native hair behind it disappears.

Senior Member the B spot Posted October 24, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2007 Spoon is dead on---- the surrounding density will be greater than the forelock and frontal core--- I do not understand the reasoning behind this---- why was the transplant performed in this manner? The work looks good from what I can see-- but I really cannot tell without better pics.

Senior Member TheEmperor Posted October 24, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2007 Actually, there is a grown-out pic on the docs website and the density looks even. The doc is located in Thailand and his prices are. . . Well, lets just say I kinda wish I hadn't found his website! His results look good but with all the unknowns it seems risky. Not sure Id be comfortable working with a doc who is that far away. My Hair Loss Web Site - Hair Transplant with Dr. Wong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may look even in a post op pic but that's really not relevant. The main thing to realize is that the transplanted hair is never going to move or thin out whereas it is very clear from the pic that the rest of the forelock area is going to vanish. So even if it looks okay right now, it's going to look bad some time in the near future unless he has more work done. The good news is that it's easy to fix, as long as you accept the idea that an additional surgery is "easy" .. which it isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josh - b Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Here is the after pic. I can only think that the patient is planning a second procedure for the crown and middle. The doctors name is dr suradej and his clinic is the thailand hair clinic. I know he trained under dr pathomvanich who is highly regarded. If anybody has the time to check out his website and tell me what u think then i would greatly appreciate it. I'm moving from austalia back to europe and will be spending 2 months in thailand so its ideal downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member celeb hair vet Posted December 30, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2008 IMO it was a significant mistake to not shave off the middle zone and do a HT in that area. It is already significantly thin. I hope im wrong, but your doctor is angling for another procedure. hardcore long-term veteran of hack plug doctors to ultra refined coalition doctors. knowledgeable about show business hair transplants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
