Senior Member andy_+_+ Posted March 18, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 18, 2017 Dr.Bernstein, Why do most of your patients have a consistent comb over? Are you trying to preserve donor for later ? Do you only do this for patients who have a history of high norwood males in their family? What are your thoughts on some clinics that go to the extreme of dense packing 3000+ grafts into the frontal third? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bernstein Medical Posted March 20, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Excellent questions. Patients with significant hair loss will get a fuller look by combing their hair to the side or diagonally back. This is different than a comb-over, where the person drops their part to an unnaturally low position to use non-transplanted hair from the side to cover the top. But grooming post-transplant is a patient preference. When planning a transplant I am always aware of future hair loss and the importance of keeping some reserves to address it. I don't believe in extreme dense packing since it risks poor growth due to vascular compromise. It also risks a widened donor scar in FUT and harvesting outside the permanent zone in FUE. I prefer applying appropriate coverage to the entire area one needs to transplant in the first session, achieve optimum growth, and then add additional hair to the same area to increase density at a future date. This will ensure that the first procedure will have a natural distribution and have the best chance for maximum growth. I am against using very high numbers of grafts just for the sake of it. In performing a hair transplant, I like to keep in mind the saying of the architect Mies Van der Rohe “Less is More.” Edited March 20, 2017 by Robert M.

Regular Member Bernstein Medical Posted June 14, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 14, 2017 Update: Here are some additional photos and information about the patient's donor area: The first image shows a diagonal scar in the donor area from an accident that the patient had as a child. The ARTAS robot was programmed to avoid this scar when harvesting. Grafts were subsequently placed into the scar (see second photo). The third photo shows the donor area 11 days post-op just before he went to the barber to have his hair trimmed.

Senior Member voxman Posted June 14, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2017 That is not a comb over. That patient could very well wear his hair back from his forehead if he wished. I wear mine both ways these days myself. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
