Keene surgery done in 1994

[Hairtechnician]

I just wanted to post this result, even though it is from when Dr. Keene first started doing hair restoration surgery, because I was reading the posts on how some patients feel it is not ethical that doctors ever did the really unnatural plugs, and how the technology has not changed, just it's use. We completely agree that the technology was there to do natural transplants long before it was adopted by many clinics! These photos are before and 15 months after of a patient Dr. Keene restored in 1994, with around 700 grafts. His result is completely natural, at a time when plugs were still common.

 

The doctors who pioneered micro grafting techniques, now called follicular unit grafting, years before many others, worked very hard to bring the technique to the forefront. They helped to train other doctors in the technique, and have refined the technique even more over the years, so today's patients can find doctors who offer a procedure with a completely natural result. Some patients were even able to do that in the early 90's, as you can see from this result.

An excellent result for sure. Thanks for sharing.

This is obviously a very impressive result. I have a tough time understanding that only 700 grafts were used to cover a pretty large area. Seems like from my research many docs would recommend something like 2500-3000 grafts. Perhaps I am wrong, but can someone explain this, please?

 

This is a 700 graft one pass result..?

 

Looks great!!

It's interesting to see a good result from that far back. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see other results from the past. The older the better.
