Senior Member pkipling Posted December 8, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2015 Earlier in the year, Dr. Mohebi ran a contest to provide a Free Hair Transplant to one lucky individual. The rules were simple: Submit a video explaining what a hair transplant would mean for you and why you think you'd be a good candidate. After reviewing the submissions, Dr. Mohebi and his team chose Marc Richter as the winner of the contest. You can view his submission video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f19w2km-rP0. Marc had his procedure on February 27th, 2015, with a total of 2,249 grafts. A little less than half of the surgery was done using ARTAS (978 grafts) and the remaining 1271 were done manually. The documentary should be complete sometime early next year. They are still filming as Dr. Mohebi continues to document Marc's progress. You can read more about what the journey has been like so far for Marc in Dr. Mohebi's blog. The breakdown of the grafts are as follows: Total grafts: 2,249 Ones: 489 Twos: 1182 Threes: 555 Fours: 23 Hairline: 250 Front: 1350 Top: 649 The attached photo shows Marc's progression up to the 9 month mark.

Senior Member esrec Posted December 8, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thats a great gesture. I wish more doctors would do this, particularly on corrective cases for patients that can't afford it. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member richter101 Posted December 11, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 11, 2015 Voxman, That's a good question, but I'm not an actor. All I can say is I feel more confident pitching myself as an artist still in music instead of a songwriter!

My bad - I thought you were acting - still the music industry can be very appearance and age driven in either case. Best of luck! I'm serious. Just look at my face.
