Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) We have an interesting case to present - monthly. This patient recently underwent a hair transplant at our center. As seen in the preoperative photos, he had only scant hair in the frontal scalp region, which he desired to fill in. This patient was extremely enthusiastic about the whole process and he wanted to have us document it with monthly photographs and video. The video we have in this post is immediately after the procedure. As Ken returns to the office each month, we will be posting his video, photographs, and story so the community can watch his hair growth as it matures. His reason for doing this is to tell others what the experience of hair restoration is like. He felt that the procedure itself was much easier then anticipated. He is also going to write up his experience and post separately on the forums. Ken told me he would start that as soon as the video and photographs were first posted. We transplanted 2569 grafts in the frontal scalp. The breakdown is as follows: 1 haired grafts: 620 2 haired grafts: 1525 3 haired grafts: 414 4 haired grafts: 10 I want to publically thank Ken for doing this. He lives in Portland and will be stopping by the office to shoot video and take photographs each month as his transplanted hairs grow to maturity.
