Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted May 1, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 1, 2015 This executive stopped by yesterday out of the blue. He was kind enough to let us film a short interview. He's a guy for whom hair transplantation has had a big impact on his life. While he has been professionally successful, he was pretty bald. As a newly single adult, I think he felt that getting in shape physically, framing his face with hair, and making a few other life changes might improve his social life. It did. He is a great example of what HT can do. It can help one's self confidence and how one views oneself. It might even change how old or young someone appears to others. It can NOT however turn a lemon pie into a peach pie....meaning that HT alone will not transform your life no matter what some of my colleagues' commercials may say. He is a fairly challenging case. He has extremely fine hairs and despite packing his hairline as tight as possible, like many fine haired guys, its simply not enough. Thus, as we often do on a second case for the middle third or crown...we'll end up with a couple of hundred singles. These are of no practical use in the crown. We have 2 choices...tell the cutters to simply cut a little chunkier grafts (which I'm the first to do on thicker haired guys who have a great hairline from an earlier case) OR to take those singles and augment the hairline, as we did in this case and several others that I've posted over the years. For fine haired guys, adding these singles really does help that hairline or partline at the final result and it doesn't shortchange the 2nd case in any way. We'll see this fellow back late this year when the middle third and that left partline are fully grown in and I'll update his results. In the meantime here is a link to his interview and results 8 months out from his second case. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Senior Member Hairsearch21 Posted May 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2015 Very soft and natural result (8months only) I think the fact, that the patient is blonde, is good for him because of the scalp hair contrast. How dense is it in the hairline? I would think between 40-45FUs/cm2 Am i wrong? All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted May 5, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks I can only tell you he has REALLY skinny hairs...I'd guess his roots on the singles were 0.7 to 0.75mm wide so that is the width of his recipient single slits. And I packed them as tightly as I can get them. And I told the cutters to be gentle. And we didn't piddle around... And its still never thick enough in those kinds of hairs. Thus we put the singles from case 2 up on that partline. It will be a nice change when I show him in a few more months. Dr. Lindsey William H.

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted May 21, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks Its good to show finer hair results...so that guys with fine hair know what to expect...we see guys who have fine hair who say they were told elsewhere their "new hair" would be thick and lustrous.... Once people realize that we have to work with what they bring in, in the donor area, an informed discussion is easier to conduct. Dr. Lindsey William H.
