Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 This patient has type V hair loss. Assessment of the donor area showed slightly below average density and significantly below average hairs/follicular unit. Typically we see 1.8 - 2.0 hairs per graft but in this patient, the average was 1.5 hairs per graft. So despite getting over 4500 grafts, his total hair count was more in line with what a 3500 graft session would yield. In addition, he wanted some coverage in the crown, knowing this would take away from overall density. His photos are nine months after one session of 4516 grafts (2448-1s, 1827-2s, 241-3s). He plans to do another surgery soon. He started a blog at http://www.hairtransplantnetwo...-page.asp?WebID=1009.

Senior Member Janna Posted October 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks Dr. Cooley for all the surgery info. The results look extremely natural and he's got a nice improvement from his first surgery. The graft and HAIR counts are important in cases such as this so the patient is fully aware what type of result to expect. Nice work as always.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted October 23, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 23, 2009 I would suspect this guy will look even thicker at the 12-month point. My biggest differences came between 3-5 months, and then again at the 9 - 12 month time; in relation to noticing a big difference in picture results. 100?
