Regular Member Steph Posted September 17, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2012 This 51 year-old patient had a thinning forelock with mostly a Norwood 3A pattern. There was some early thinning in his crown in a Norwood 5 pattern. He had short, wavy and salt-and-pepper hair with average donor density and flexibility. Dr. Simmons transplanted 3112 grafts in front. By sampling, we transplanted 243 ones (8%), 1103 twos (36%), 1407 threes (45%), 260 fours (8%), and 99 fives (3%). There was a higher than average 2.6 hairs per graft. Dr. Simmons used Score-blunt donor dissection and 2-layer trichophytic closure He has earlier than expected growth at 5 months post-op and is very happy with his results thus far. He may use medical treatment to support the hair in his midscalp and crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SADbutTRUE Posted September 18, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 looks very promising, what a difference when your face is framed with hair , and only at 5 months , do you have any pics post op, so we can see how far the grafts were placed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted September 18, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think he is online for a great outcome. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
