The case presented today originally was seen in consultation in Feb, 2009. At that time options regarding medical and conservative/aggressive approaches to transplantation were discussed. After 6 months dilberation the patient opted for medical management with a conservative frontal restoration only transplant.

 

In the summer of 2009 he under went a single session of ~ 1600 ultra refined follicular unit micrografts. He was lost to follow until he came back 3 years later to finally plant his crown. At that time I was able to get a set of after photos showing not only his graft growth, but also his donor zone with both normal length short hair and after it was shaved. While he was not planted with extreme density he represents the classic example of white haired patient not needing as much hair as the average dark haired person as white hairs reflect more light back to the human eye leading the brain to think more hair is present….an advantage white haired patients have over dark haired patients.

This is a huge change for a small 1600 graft session, Dr. Limmer. Also, his scar is basically undetectable. I am happy to see he is on medical management. Since his DHT and Testosterone levels are already probably low at his age, he should be responding well.

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? :D

Thanks for the comments. His scar did turn out great and I think people should routinely be expecting wonderful to nearly undecteable scars with correct technique and the use of a trichophytic closure. By the way, I am gathering up a series of trichophytic closures I plan to post soon. I hope other surgeons will as well. Dr. Brad Limmer

Nice result.

2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK.

 

Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.
