Senior Member Dr. Sheldon Kabaker Posted December 28, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2010 This 63 year old patient had plug grafts done over 30 years ago. Many session were done with grafts taken throughout the "safe" donor zone and some above it. With age, baldness came down to uncover the scars above the "safe" zone. This patient wished correction to avoid use of a hair piece. He was treated by placing 1600 follicular unit grafts, into acutely angulated recipient sites, created within and above his fringe. The grafts were harvested from the temporal and parietal area's of both sides. The first five pictures show the pre-operative situation. The next two pictures show the zone to be grafted, the next followed by two views of the prepared recipient sites, and one view of the sites filled with 1600 grafts. The next to last view shows the grafts at 2 weeks, and the last few show comparative images.

Senior Member RCWest Posted December 28, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Dr. Kabaker, you present the most interesting cases. It is a shame this patient didn't even have any success from the plugs 30 years ago. I also believe this is the first time I've witnessed someone having hair put back into that area. Your work is TOP NOTCH! You are definitely among the best of them.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted December 29, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2010 Dr. Kabaker, Thank you for sharing this very interesting case! Like RC said, I don't think I've ever seen a transplant procedure quite like this, but the work looks very refined and natural. Nicely done!

Senior Member wb280 Posted December 29, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2010 Blake, it does look natural but ultimately its not a hairline so hope u understand i am not damping anyone's spirit here but to make a round circumference like that... it just does not bode well with me but hey, maybe thats the whole objective of the patient As long as he is happy, thats the most important However, from a HT standpoint, the correction work was meticulously done View my hair loss website.
