Senior Member Hairtechnician Posted April 27, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2011 This 53 year old patient came to Dr. Keene to restore hair to his hairline, mid central area, and crown. Dr. Keene did 3319 grafts in a one day session, for a total of 7516 hairs. She had recommended that he have 3500 grafts as a minimum to provide thinning coverage, which does significantly impact appearance when you have little to no hair in an area before. But the patient opted for a lower number of grafts. His results were excellent with the number of grafts he had for the area covered--and he is very happy with his results. The thinning coverage he achieved makes him look years younger. It helps that the hair in the back of the head is the last area to turn gray, so when it is transplanted to the front, the color alone helps restore a younger appearance for men who don't want to dye their hair when it is turning gray. Here is the graft breakdown: 1s) 794 2s) 1211 3s) 956 4s) 358 Total 3319 7516 hairs I am a medical assistant and hair transplant surgical assistant employed by Dr. Keene Dr. Keene is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted April 27, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2011 hairtechnician, Great work by Dr. Keene! His salt and pepper hair definitely adds to the appearance of density. I bet his dance card is full these days!
