Dr Carman 3583 FU Grafts, 14 month result.

[Dr. Timothy Carman]

This patient is a 39 YO male who presents with androgenic alopecia, affecting the definition of his hairline, frontal forelock, bilateral temples and lateral anterior hairline margins, as well as causing thinning of density in the frontal and posterior forelock and crown areas. Attention was directed at recreating the anterior hairline as it framed the superior and lateral facial margins and increasing the density in the frontal forelock. This patient had severe recession of his lateral margins/temporal point areas, requiring that a larger than usual proportion of grafts be dedicated to recreating these areas. Graft total: 3,583: 844 one's; 2532 two's; 157 three's; 50 DFU's. p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; ThesAttention was

I assume that the gelled look is the post op. It really does nothing for the result and the picture sequence in this thread is very confusing I am sorry to say.

Spanker-

I will try and reorder the photos so as to make them less confusing- I can see your point.

As for the reality of whether or not the way this patient chooses to style his hair does "something" for the result- The fact that he can gel transplanted hair and have an appearance which he was not capable of previously, and thus is quite pleased with the result is what is most important to my interpretation of the result. I do realize that the gelled look can make for "less impressive" results, yet I think I am more interested in showing the diversity of all cases and the individuals they represent, as well as the nuances of, say, as in this example, gelling the results of a single-pass first procedure density.

I will try and reorder the photos a little later today. Thanks for the input.
