Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted October 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 This man was concerned about hair loss but was opposed to medical treatment. He had a Norwood 3 - 3A pattern but had early thinning in a Norwood 5A pattern (that is most visible in the top_plan photo.) He had light brown, finer than average, straight hair with average density and average flexibility. We transplanted 3580 grafts from a mature hairline and covered more than the frontal third of his scalp. He is prepared to have more hair transplantation when he loses more hair. At 5 months post-op, he has good early growth but he can expect his hair to fill in, get longer, and stronger over the months ahead.

Regular Member Superfinehair Posted October 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am always impressed by your work Dr. Simmons. I think you are easily one of the top docs in the business and am always weirded out when you don't get mentioned in the top doc discussions. I appreciate that alot of your results show patients with finer hair characteristics, always gives me hope when I see what you can do with those patients. Did this patient use Rogaine after surgery? Do you usualy recommend Rogaine as part of your post op instructions? Keep up the good work, I'm sure you're making these patients very happy!

Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted October 21, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks Superfinehair. I do recommend Minoxidil after hair transplantation to reduce postoperative shedding and to jump start the new growth. However, he did not use it. Fine hair can look very natural when transplanted but it takes more fine hair to achieve fullness than coarser hair. This man had finer than average hair but it was not "super" fine. He was also fortunate that he had more 3-haired grafts than usual and fewer 1-haired grafts. His approximate ratio was 8% 1s, 46% 2s, and 46% 3s so he would have had an average of 2.4 hairs per graft.

Senior Member RCWest Posted October 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 I am always impressed by your work Dr. Simmons. I think you are easily one of the top docs in the business and am always weirded out when you don't get mentioned in the top doc discussions. I couldn't agree more! He is overshadowed by H&W and Rahal because he is in Canada. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?
