Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted June 29, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted June 29, 2010 We do lots of single men's hair transplants and this fellow did a great job with keeping things clean. Shown are periop and 1 week pics. He lives closeby and should be back for regular checks to allow more pics to update his progress. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 29, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2010 Dr. Lindsey, Thank you for presenting this case. The work looks ultra-refined, and I'm eager to see the matured result. Nicely done!

Senior Member TC17 Posted June 29, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2010 Looks very clean, Dr. Lindsey. I'm sure the patient cleaning had something to do with that, but your work always looks clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Levrais Posted June 29, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm wondering if grafts were placed within the native hair in the front or only on each side of it. If only on the sides (of the front), is that likely to hold up long term?

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted June 30, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2010 That is a fine question. For this particular guy, his frontal hair was so good that I specifically said that all that would be accomplished by me working in that tuft is that he'd have less money, and a bunch of kills of his nicely growing frontal hair. Plus his family seems to retain that tuft for the long haul, and by avoiding that area, he can essentially look like he had nothing done after about 10 days if he styles his hair appropriately or gets a shorter haircut either one. In other cases, like a couple of "u" shaped frontals that I have posted, and also that we did this month, the choice is not so easy. I offer to deal with a thinning tuft now, with the procedure, if based on family history it sounds like its going--sooner rather than later, and if the patient doesn't want to keep that tuft to help camouflage things. I leave it up to the patient and I'd guess that 50% keep the tuft. I'll try to put up an example over the next few days. But I am clear, regardless of their family history, that they may lose that tuft down the road and elect to do a small 2nd case. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.
