Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 7, 2018 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2018 Average to slightly below average, the second picture shows some lack of density.

Senior Member mattj Posted June 7, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2018 It's tough to be really accurate with photos. It's probably about average. Did the doctors see you in person?

Senior Member HarryHonolulu Posted June 7, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2018 Yes twice! “Good candidate”. “Average donor”. “Signs of miniaturization in lower donor” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Markee Posted June 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yes twice!“Good candidate”. “Average donor”. “Signs of miniaturization in lower donor” Where are you seeing signs of miniaturization in his lower donor area i just can't see it? Looks like a pretty average normal donor area to me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shera Posted June 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2018 I would describe your donor as average too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted June 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm actually not surprised by that assessment about the miniaturization in your 'lower donor'. The third photo does show some thinning in that area, extending upwards from your neckline. Chances are it won't travel up too far, but it's something to think about. I can still see you as a good candidate for a procedure. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Pete-from-Farjo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Impossible to accurately judge from photos alone. You say you've had two in person consults suggesting you have average/good donor so it sounds like a transplant's certainly an option.

Senior Member gillenator Posted June 8, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2018 Pics of the donor can be misleading as good as they can look at times. The only way to know for sure is to have the donor area physically examined and evaluated for density by a competent HT surgeon and also to microscopically examine for potential miniaturization issues.
