Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted April 12, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted April 12, 2011 This lady came in a few months ago with thin hair, most noticable at the partline. She'd been to a variety of other offices reportedly eager to operate on her. I gave her a pretty good argument not to have anything done and encouraged her to sleep on it a while. And when she was still interested, I explained how we shave the recipient area and after the sutures are out, that she can cover the procedure by moving her part...but she probably won't see much improvement for a year or more. We she opted to proceed last week. I think she has realistic expectations and was a terrific person to work with so far. We got around 1700 grafts, and really expect the part line and the surrounding, shaved area, to get a nice result when grown in. She lives nearby, and hopefully we'll have pics in a month and 6 months to post. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Senior Member RCWest Posted April 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2011 Most GUYS would love that much hair Very well executed Dr. Lindsey. Her hair looks more like fine hair/lower density than an actual hair loss problem.

VirginiaLady01 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 If someone had said fifteen years ago I would have a hair transplant, I would have just laughed in their face. You see I had to have it thinned at the hair dresser. I had a job which I adored, teaching teenagers science.Then one morning I woke up paralyzed from the waist down...I learned up close and personal about multiple sclerosis. I was given two years. I kept the job, excelled, learned how to walk again. I started losing hair. Next my thyroid needed surgery. All the while my hair loss was becoming more noticeable, especially in the part area. For women hair loss is an emotional topic. For me each morning when I got ready for work-I noticed it and it was painful. It was time to use the skill of a doctor and fix the problem. Finding one who was truly skilled wasn't easy. I did my research, went to a few consultations and was shaken by the snake oil approach. I decided that I needed a skilled plastic surgeon, who specialized in hair transplant. I visited Dr. William Lindsey. I had checked out his credentials. On the visit, he checked my hair, agreed he could help me, then spent more time trying to discourage me. Before fifteen minutes had passed, I had paid the deposit and setup a surgery date. This last Monday was my one week visit. First I had to see my dermatologist. She was so impressed with the quality of the graft she asked for Dr. Lindsey's information.

Senior Member Dutch Posted April 17, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 17, 2011 Glad to see this. I know a lady who's thinning & its effecting her confidence. So there's hope for women too. Great looking job doctor. I hope this lady has a great result! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted April 20, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 20, 2011 RCW and Dutch, You guys are right on with your comments as usual. I'm pretty picky about operating on female hair. For me, it has to be a fight that I can win, not just taking some money and thinly planting hair all over a severe female MPB patient. I think its likely we'll win this one. She lives nearby, so hopefully I'll be seeing her regularly and can post pics. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted May 10, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 10, 2011 She stopped by yesterday for pics at a month. Shown is her recipient site, which has lost most of the placed grafts as expected. And, her scar looks perfect at this time frame. Finally, by parting her hair just a bit lateral to the transplant, she's able to camouflage the surgery despite the fact we shaved and packed that area. She'll be back in the fall for more pics.

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted July 6, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 6, 2011 So this lady popped in last week for a quick visit, now about 2.5 months out and she looks good with her hair parted over the transplanted area. There is little to no growth in the recipient area as expected at this point. And her scar looks fantastic. She'll be back in the fall, hopefully showing some growth by then.
