Dr. Haber,

 

If this isn't proof that hair transplants stand the test of time, I don't know what is.

 

Nice work!

I agree that this transplant looks great and has stood the test of time. I greatly appreciate seeing these long-term documentations.

 

Dr Haber, let me be sure I understand your statements correctly. This patient had four procedures totallying 2440 grafts. That is an average of (only) 610 grafts per session. Is this correct?

 

The patient is 48 now, and had his first transplant when he was 38? How much time was between each surgery?

 

If I'm making any inaccurate assumptions, please set me straight.

 

Thank you.

Sorry for this delayed answer. I missed your question.

 

You are mostly correct. His first session was Feb 1996, and last was Oct 1999. Back in 1996, 600-700 grafts was a good sized session. In 1999 he chose to finish with a small session, as he was only interested in a touch up.

 

I hope these answers help.
