Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted August 16, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2012 Mick This was a big canvas and Dr. Farjo spread the paint wisely. Nice graded plan to balance density and coverage. He already looks much better and it has only been 5 months.

Senior Member Gandolf Posted September 1, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2012 The end result looks OK I guess all things considered, but does anyone here really feel this guy was a good candidate for surgery? That's still some extremely sparse coverage, as anyone would expect in a patient with such a large, bald head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted September 1, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2012 The end result looks OK I guess all things considered, but does anyone here really feel this guy was a good candidate for surgery? That's still some extremely sparse coverage, as anyone would expect in a patient with such a large, bald head. I think anyone with good donor quality is a candidate provided you can provide a result which is meaningful to them and looks natural. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Mick, Respect! Not an easy canvas to start. But 5/6months in, the photos provided show a nice improvement! Gandolf, why do you feel that this guy wasnt a good candidate? In mid 50s with such a progressed pattern, I would imagine Farjo decided that he wasnt going to progress further. As long as his donor was sufficient to meet his and the Drs pre discussed and agreed realistic results, then I see no problem. Good luck to all going forward! And heres to 4,500 more!
