Senior Member aaron1234 Posted June 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2012 Oodalolly! What a turn around for this patient! Janna, am I right that a resection refers to a partial removal of his upper brow (containing the old pluggy hairline)? Again, great work and shrewd surgical strategy. Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Janna Posted June 5, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2012 Here is a pic right after the resection. A whole strip section of the pluggy area is excised out. The strip is then dissected down to individual grafts and replanted. Thanks Aaron and Pupdaddy. We thought he looked great too after all the repair work he's had done. He's really gone through it and back. He is really happy with his results now.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted June 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2012 Janna, great hairline repair but why did this patient needed 5000 grafts for only the hairline first two inches? Is it too much?

Senior Member Janna Posted June 5, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) We should have clarified in the case breakdown that only the first two repair sessions addressed the hairline. The main purpose of the last two sessions were for repairing his old donor scars in the back and addressing the central zone and top of crown. His hairloss had progressed to a diffused NW 5. The last two sessions were 7 & 8 years after the resection.

Mick from Farjo Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Janna, This is a great example of how things can be turned around in the hands of a superior doctor and team. Enough said, Mick Patient coordinator for Dr. Bessam Farjo who is an esteemed member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
