How about a top down post-op? There was no issue showing it pre-op.

Matt,

 

Looks great, but I agree it would be real nice to see a top down post-op. Thanks for sharing.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

The surgery was for the hairline which is shown clearly in the photos. The top wasn't treated. We'll be posting a video in the next day or two.

My point is that if you're going to show a top-down pre-op to accentuate the baldness then you should also show top-down post-op to show the finished product from its most vulnerable angle.

 

To your point, if the "top" wasn't worked on, why show it in pre-op?

[mattj]

We will update with a top angle photo when the patient comes in for his 12 month photos (these were taken at month 7).

 

Meanwhile, here is a video of the result.

Matt.....looks like a great result. Was this FUE procedure done in one day? If yes about how long was the patient in the surgery chair?

[BadBeat]

Wow, some tough posters here! This is a really nice improvement with a relatively small number of grafts. Well done.

[mattj]

It's a one day procedure. With the extractions, incisions and planting of the grafts, plus lunch and bathroom breaks, it's an 8 hour day. Most patients stay at the attached guesthouse so not far to go at the end of the day.

Thanks Matt. 8 hour day isn't bad considering I've done close to twelve. This patient must be very pleased with Dr. Rahl's artistry.
