Senior Member BigBill1234 Posted June 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think I've come to the conclusion that is this what they doctor did to me... Only in my recessions not the front middle of my head. Can this be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mr. GQ Posted June 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 was that shot with one of those new hi-def cameras? j/k hard to tell anything by looking at the blury pic. but i would guess it is fixable - if anything there is in need of fixing. try taking another pic and try to keep your camera very still for few seconds and while you pressing on the shutter.

Senior Member Mr. GQ Posted June 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 also some ppl will tell you that Micros are fine but only Minis are the ones that you should be wary of. i personally am "wary" of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BigBill1234 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's that great Iphone!!! There are no 3+ hairs on my hairline, just seem to be very spread apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted June 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm leary of both, also, for sure...codewords for sub-optimal work, IMHO. Like GQ, I can't get a *great* grasp of your HT from the pics; but, my first reaction was that you didn't get nearly enough grafts (surprise surprise) and that your grafts are spread way, way too far apart. You kinda remind me of Leeson, actually...looks pretty simimliar...he had a sub-standard HT, had what looks like a very-very similiar look to you, but got fixed up and looks mint now. How many month out are you from the HT, btw? ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted June 25, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ya, I'd pretty much echo what I already said. Could be mini's, but dunno...think it's more an issue of the spacing than anything else -- which is (spacing), incidentally, a tool in a repair job. What doc/clinic did you go to? Could totally rule out -- or lend credence to -- "minis". ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Regular Member Lastchance Posted June 25, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 25, 2009 Theres many on this forum that will say the same thing, but it looks a strightforward fix in the right hands, in that it may be possible just to fill in around them. The 2 procedures combined could give you a good overall result, but its a pain to have to go through it again so sooon.

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hey guys, Just so you know, many of you are confusing graft terminology. Micrografts are not the same as minigrafts. In fact, micrografts is a general cateogory for both follicular units and sub follicular units. See "The Difference Between the Various Types of "Grafts" and Their Meanings" which links to a more detailed article on graft terminology written by Dr. Ron Shapiro. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted June 26, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2009 BigBill1234, Please use a camera that can give photographs with better definition. And the other Bill is right, we need to get the terminology clear (even myself). take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mr. GQ Posted June 27, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2009 mmhce, you have to *learn* how to read between the line sometimes. why else would some clinics choose to call it "micros" other then obvious fact that their *slits* are huge and not to mention sub-optimal work. "for sure...codewords for sub-optimal work, IMHO." 120% agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted June 27, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2009 Re: mini/micro terminology, Dr. Feller recently stated "this patient had old style mini/micrograft work done years ago by another clinic". Micrografts do seem to certainly be a technical umbrella for follicular unit grafting; but, I'm still leary of any clinic who throws the term out to label their work. Partly, it is because of things like the Dr. Feller quote from above, and also that I have never seen (and can't imagine ever seeing) Dr.'s Hasson, Wong, Farjo, Rahal and many-many others using the term to label their work. Conversely, Dr.'s whose work and methodology seems suspect that I have encountered over the years are often quick to use the term. I wouldn't disagree that micro's are a technical term that encompass the follicular unit grafting we consider the gold-standard; on a simple, practical level, however, the docs whom I trust the most seem to either never use the term *or* make statements like Dr. Feller's above; and, conversely, suspect clinics (basically clinics not associated w/ HTN) throw out the phrase to label their work pretty often. Perhaps, the latter is a bastardization of the term micrografting, which makes many like myself and GQ very wary of any clinic who chooses to use that particular term to describe their work. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Frankly, I'm not so sure that every physician even uses these terms correctly. Perhaps the above should be used as a guide to help us understand the appropriate use of the terminology. But "micrografts" are small, typically a follicular unit or sub follicular unit and still used today quite regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
