Senior Member TC17 Posted July 20, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think it looks fabulous. However, I'm a bit confused on the write up. Is this the result after one surgery of 3120 grafts, or is this with the two surgeries that you mentioned in his transplant plan? Or, is he just going to have an additional surgery for another 2000 grafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted July 20, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2009 He looks a lot better, and 3000 looks to have gone a long way. Do you have any top-down shots, or immediate post-ops? I'm curious how far back into the crown went, and what kind of density he got on the top. It looks like in some shots that his back is thicker in the 4months than the 10months, though I assume this is just an issue of lighting. Also, I think this is just 1 session of 3k..no? And the 2nd of 2000-2500 is just in theory. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member TC17 Posted July 20, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2009 I also just realized how many four hair grafts this guy has. I've never seen a patient with that many before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dakota3 Posted July 20, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2009 Any top down pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Dr. Feriduni, Looks great. Providing top down photos would help us see the kind of density the patient has on top. I encourage you to post some of these photos if you have them. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnS Posted July 21, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2009 The patient has come a long way, I am sure he is quite happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bijan Feriduni Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your kudos! To TC17 : This patient had indeed a lot of four hair grafts, which is rather unusual. In general we do not prepare any four hair grafts but since the patient had so many and he needed the density, we decided to make the best use of them and it worked perfectly in his case. To Thanatopsis, Dakota3 and Bill: Unfortunately I did not take any top down pics of this patient up to now. However I will make sure to take top down shots on his next visit. Best regards, Dr. B. Feriduni P.S. : Sorry for the late answer but I attended to the ISHRS meeting at the end of July and took two weeks off directly after that.
