Senior Member Jotronic Posted February 23, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2010 This local patient felt his temple recession was a bit too much considering his age and lifestyle. He asked Dr. Hasson to decrease the amount of recession to give his hairline a stronger overall appearance. 793 grafts were utilized to reduce the recession while maintaining a proper adult male design. Results shown are 11 months post-op with gel in his hair. Notice in the closeups you can see each hair individually as it exits the scalp.

Senior Member hair_me_out Posted February 23, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2010 Excellent use of few grafts to get a big result. Awesome job. My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Hasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member M&M Posted February 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 Jotronic, Do you happen to have any immediate post-op to show the exact area of work? His results do look extremely natural and one would never guess any work was done (even if it was very minor). Love the close-up of the hairline in the second-last photo. Wow - that's zooming in! Any thoughts on perhaps why the patient opted not to have FUE for the low graft number required? Was it the lack of shaving required with strip, the cost, or did he just flat-out he wanted H&W? Just really curious.

Senior Member vincehair Posted February 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 Getting your head cut open for 793 grafts risking any sort of scar when you could get great FUE work done seems like a dumb choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TC17 Posted February 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 It's a very nice result, but I have to agree with vincehair. It would seem that FUE would have been a better option for him, but maybe cost, travel, or just being dead set on Dr. Hasson was the patient's reason for not undergoing FUE.

Senior Member hair_care Posted February 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 This must be one of the smallest sessions Dr Hasson has ever done, nevertheless , as always an excellent result from H&W.

Senior Member EpilepticSceptic Posted February 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 I disagree with the comments that FUE was the way to go. For 793 grafts the scar will be very small. Not everyone is afraid to have tissue cut out of their head and stapled back up. I have seen strip patients in person, and done correctly you cannot find the scar. Even with hair very, very short (almost buzzed look) you cannot even find it knowing it is there.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted February 24, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 M&M, No post-op shots, sorry. We have post-op photos for some patients but not all but this will be changing. He opted for Dr. Hasson for the results as that is what mattered to him most. Vincehair, I'm sure that if you were to actually talk to the patient you would have a hard time convincing him that his decision was "dumb". He has full growth and is happy enough to come in and show us his result without us asking and was also happy enough to pose for these close up photos and the HD video to come on Friday. TC, Why would FUE have been a better option? He's happy. Rachmunas4life, You will the donor in detail on Friday when I post the high definition video of this patient's result.

Guest comb Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I agree with Joe. I think it would only matter if he was planning on shaving his head, although from what I have seen, such a small session has virtually zero risk for the scar to be visible, even at very short lengths.

Senior Member MikeTheDane Posted February 27, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2010 Probably the best result I have ever seen for such a small amount of grafts. Great job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11/04-07 - 800-1600 ish grafts - danish clinic - poor results 12/02-08 - 2764 grafts - Dr. Devroye - good result but needs hairline density 03/12-10 - 1429 grafts - Dr. Mohmand - result pending Feel free to visit my picture thread My Hair Transplant Photos - Surgery with Dr. Devroye Young lads below 25 unite!

Senior Member Maxxy Posted February 27, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2010 Very nice result as always. Personally, I would have went with FUE for such a small number of grafts but thats just me. From a personal point of view, I just don't feel the risks and down time associated with FUT are worth it for such a small procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Surfarosa Posted September 12, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2010 With that many graphs there is virtually no down time. I had 500 done with FUT and it was like a trip to the dentists. Did it on Friday was out and about on Saturday, back at work Monday. I couldn't find my own scar.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted September 12, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2010 I don't see why strip for a small session is a bad idea. What if he loses more in the future? Well, he can do strip again instead of taking more FUE from an already thinned out donor region.

Senior Member hairthere Posted September 13, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) It could be the gel, but it does look like this patient is in for some future thinning. I too would have likely opted for fue on such a small session, but I don't think there's anything wrong with him opting for strip.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted September 14, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2010 I don't really see any areas of potentially future thinning but as with ALL hair transplant surgeries, you have one, you might have another sometime in the future. Glad you fellas like this one.
