Senior Member Time to do something Posted September 12, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2008 I had my first HT 7/07 and my second 8/08. I had almost 5000 grafts between the two concentrated on the front 2/3 of my scalp. I wanted the maximum density in the front so I decided not to address the crown. When the HT matures I will be wearing a lace hair piece on the crown. The guy who cuts my hair has several clients wearing one and says they blend perfectly and are undetectable. It should be a piece of cake for me since I've been wearing a hair piece from front to back.

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted September 12, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2008 This type of approach is reasonable for select patients. First, I have worked with several guys who were able to have a procedure, slightly modify the way they wore or styled their hair system, and "pull off" the surgery without their friends/customers knowing. Then in a few months they can modify the system again to show the transplant result, and consider moving forward with a second procedure much later. Or second, and I posted a fellow on this site a few months ago like this, a person who has limited donor supply, such as a plug repair case, on whom we can really improve the front, but does not have sufficient resources to cover the top and crown. For a patient like this, a combination of surgery to give a natural hairline, and hair system to cover the top; works extremely well. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.
