Senior Member Spanker Posted June 3, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2013 That guy is really lucky to have that curly light hair. Few guys cant get such a restorations with that few of grafts. I will say that his hairline is too high for my taste. It could have been a doctor decision or a pt decision, but there comes a point when hair looks like it is just sitting on top of your head. Am I being unreasonable? It looks great as usual overall though, and I am sure that the guy is thrilled.

Senior Member StaggerLee123 Posted June 3, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2013 Very nice result for this guy. That light curly hair really does go a long way doesn't it? @Spanker yeah I think you are being a bit picky with your critique of this patient. The only time I think that hair looks like it is just "sitting on top of your head" is when the patient has deep recession in the temple point area... that can look a little weird imho, almost like a toupee. This patient has some temple points left, not much but some, so I think it works for him. For the amount of grafts it is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted June 3, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Spanker, One's own opinion on what they'd prefer isn't being unreasonable, imo . The patient is very happy with his results, however, he did go into hair restoration thinking one session wasn't going to be enough to address all the areas he wants addressed. The doc and patient agreed on achieving a good foundation then add accordingly in the second session. He'll be coming soon for the next session. Thanks Spankers and Staggerlee for your feedback.

Senior Member SADbutTRUE Posted June 3, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think its a good result , he went from nothing on top to a nice head of hair, he covered most of the area with less then 4000 grafts, that's AWSOME, and hes happy, if he wanted a second procedure to lower the hairline or hit the crown he has that option, bottom line it looks natural and that's what its all about, he also has the option to style his hair now, I forgot how that feels,lol. is patient on meds and how did the scar turn out.

I am a strong supporter of SMG, they are one of the top clinics of the world. I just stated that there is a point that the hairline looks like hair sitting on the head. The pts forward pic looks like it is skating that direction, but, like I said, overall it looks good and natural and excellent for the graft number. Picky? Maybe. But that is a good thing IMO when it comes to hair restoration. Like I said. I would be very happy if I were the pt. I would just shoot to lower the hairline a bit. No biggie.

When he goes back for his second procedure he'll look all that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mattj Posted June 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2013 Looks great. As has been said, the patient's curly blond hair really helps with the coverage and an amazing transformation was possible with relatively few grafts. Best of luck to him with his second procedure!

Senior Member Janna Posted June 5, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2013 His hairline isnt' going to be brought down very much, it's not his goal. Covering towards the crown is more important to him. For now he's happy to have the stand alone procedure and can do another procedure whenever he's ready.

Senior Member Nick153452 Posted June 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2013 That sounds great. I'm anxiously awaiting my post-op photos. I just had my HT with Dr Paul 2 weeks ago today while you were out of the office. I am thrilled, yet anxious. My little hairs are starting to shed, just when I was getting used to them.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted June 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2013 Nice work Janna. Curly hair is great for coverage. 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...
