Looks great as usual.....big difference for him!!

Looks great! Just out of curiosity, is he wearing a lot of concealer? In the head down picture the native hair on the sides look a lot different than the hair on top.

To the contrary, first and we hope all would know this, we simply would never post a result with a concealer. Our objective to our posts is to shown what one can achieve with a given amount of hair, of certain hair characteristics in a given area.

The difference in the hair on the sides VS the top, is not that the top is thicker from a concealer, it is, at 9mths, it is not as thick as the hair on the sides. From a top view taken at a 90angle with the scalp the light will pass through the hair and pick up more scalp, even when it is pretty hidden in person. Where the hair up high on the sides is normal density and the acute shingling on the vertical side plane makes the hair appear even more dense.

Janna’s off to Europe, so I am chipping in.

Hey Zup!

 

Again, looks like another home run from Dr. Paul. Lot of grafts but modest for the size of the transplanted area. Very efficient use of grafts here.

 

Yeah, definitely no concealer. It's just the transplanted density is at a lower level than the sides and back. Also, it's still only 9 months - give it time and it'll blend in more.

 

I will say that sometimes hair in the donor area has different characteristics altogether. Maybe a slightly different color, maybe it curls in an odd direction when grown out. Not all hairs on our head grow in a uniform manner. So when those hairs are transplanted they bring those quirks and oddities with them.

 

Hope you're well Zup! Hold down that fort for Janna.

This a strong result as usual from the doc and things are going to get better from here on.

Spoken like a true hair veteran. That's absolutely true.

The patient has pretty strong caliber hairs in the donor, which helps with the look of density when moved to top. I think it was wise for him to attain "coverage" vs density to the frontal 1/2. A little goes a long way for him. Dr. Paul has layed a good foundation of hairs throughout the whole top/crown for this patient. In the future, he can thicken up if he so desires but it won't be manditory. Hopefully, the meds will help retain the native hairs.

 

Thanks all for your feedback.
