Dr. Alan Feller Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 There is something wrong with the case being presented below. Can you figure out what happened and what is not quite right about this presentation? What do you think the plan was, and what actually happened? This is definitely a trick, but if you're really good, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. HT doctors invited to chime in but all may try for the prize.

Looks like you filled in the guy in the first picture and then he lost all the hair around it in the second picture. Whats the trick? And what's the prize ????

Senior Member Stig Posted September 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2015 He got FUE and it caused all the surrounding existing hair to fall out further validating that FUT is better than FUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted September 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2015 Reinforced the forelock but lost more hair. Now wears a hair system behind it? 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...
Regular Member DISpHAIR Posted September 9, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think the doctor/ rep, intentionally pulled his hair back in the preoperative picture to give the impression that he had less hair than he actually did. If not is incorrect, it has to do with the hand manipulating the picture in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Alan Feller Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 The only difference between the photos is the haircut, no HT or treatment has been done? He definitely had a hair transplant. Did it myself. What's wrong here? Think a bit out of the box. There is a virtual Ferrari in it for whomever figures it out.

Senior Member newbie33 Posted September 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2015 He said his hair loss had stabilised and was taking/going to take meds. It hadn't and he didn't so his hair loss continued. I'll guess he went for fue too.

Senior Member PupDaddy Posted September 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2015 This isn't a before-after presentation? It's two shots of the patient before he had work done? The photo on the right was taken at his consultation? The photo on the left was the day of surgery after he was marked but before it commenced?

Senior Member PupDaddy Posted September 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2015 In other words, there was a mix-up when compiling this patient's case photos? Both are "before" photos, taken months apart (note the longer hair in the photo on the left) that could be, and possibly were initially confused for before-after photos of work on the patient's frontal forelock?

Regular Member Markhair100 Posted September 10, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2015 I see what's wrong. He doesn't have enough hair in either of the photos. Hey doctor, if I win can I get in for a consultation earlier ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PupDaddy Posted September 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2015 You are so close, Pup. So close ! Is there a prize for being the closest? A virtual Chevy perhaps? Okay -- one more tweak to my guess: They aren't the same person? (Maybe they are even twins, and the photos got shuffled?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DISpHAIR Posted September 11, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2015 Maybe the first picture is after a first hair transplant and the other picture is for a second transplant. The JPEG is titled "wrong series" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member newbie33 Posted September 11, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2015 No risk, no reward, right? Plus, something is going on with his hair. I think he wears some sort of system. http://plasticsurgeryproof.com/users/1/images3/enrique-iglesias-bald.jpg It's all here: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/181125-ive-read-entire-forum-so-you-dont-have.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Alan Feller Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Ok, time to give the answer. The photos are REVERSED. The photo on the right is the BEFORE photo. He had a good forelock, but the rest of his hair was gone. The photo on the left is the AFTER photo. After about 10 months. The hair you see me holding back were the hairs we transplanted around the forelock 10 months prior. What actually happened is that he had a very strong forelock so we transplanted around it. But hair loss being as unpredictable as it is he lost it sooner so it left a hole where it used to be. If you look at the photo series included here you will see in the real after photo at your far right he has a nice thick top thanks to his transplants, but a hole visible where the forelock used to be. So he is now booked in for a second smaller procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
