Senior Member Speegs Posted July 26, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 Well, it's been about a year and the final result is pretty much in, it's a good improvement over the norwood 3a it was pre-op but not yet a full restoration which is a bummer. Temple density is just terrorized by sunlight and the hairline can succumb to scrutiny in bad light too. It's not a bad job but it's an incomplete one density wise. There is no flash in there pictures and the lighting is indoor and not natural light, soft in nature from bathroom fixtures. Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A. Received 2,700 grafts with coalition doctor on 8/13/2010 Received 2,380 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 9/30/2011 Received 1,820 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 7/28/2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted July 26, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 Sorry you aren't completely satisfied with the result. Not sure what your actaul pre-op state was so its hard to say. Do you have any plans for another pass?

Senior Member Speegs Posted July 26, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2011 I was in the norwood 3a range with a very receded hairline, that first picture shows the one week post op. I'm not calling the result a failure by any means, not here to lambast a doctor, just disappointed the journey isn't over and will need another expensive pass to complete.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 27, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yeah, most HT patient's will need at least two surgeries to get the desired density. Dr. Alexander is a great doc - stay in touch with him and relay your concerns to him directly.... just like Takingtheplunge did.
