Senior Member azn_guy Posted February 28, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 28, 2010 Great Work Dr. Arocha. His frontal scalp you worked on looks really good. I'm sure he's a happy camper. I have a question though, the photos you've shown, The Donor Scar is visible. It would be great if you could elaborate on this a bit. My guess is the following - Buzz Cut #2 within that area so the scar is visible - His donor scar is still healing, is it possible that if you give him a few more months it will be undetectable?

Senior Member Severn Posted March 1, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2010 This is a great result. But I agree with azn. There's no reason to cut the lower part of the hair that short. It would be much better if he grew it out a little to hide the scar. My Hair Loss Web Site - Dr. Ron Shapiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member azn_guy Posted March 2, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 Is that a Buzz Clipper #2 or a Buzz Clipper #1? Sorry, I can't tell Just for future reference HT with Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Bernardino Arocha Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks for taking the time to view and for your kind comments azn_guy_001, Mick from Farjo, Severn. Sorry about the tardy response, we were out of town. It is correct that scars do take 6-12 months to mature; during this time it is more likely to stretch if tension vectors are applied to the margins. Hence, it is prudent to avoid lifting exercises that causes pulling in the neck area. Patients with looser tissue are also prone to stretch more. Spot on, the hair stylist was overly aggressive with the clippers, a fade from 0- 3 is fine, but leaving it a little longer (2 or 3 guard) over the scar will minimize scar visibility. If the scar is still visible after the healing is complete, options are to do a revision of the scar, or FUE transplant into it. For additional information: http://www.arochahairrestoration.com/en/art/104/ This patient is so thrilled by his rejuvenated look that he is not concerned about the scar. B.

Senior Member hair_care Posted March 13, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2010 Nice work doc, I am sure he has at least 3-4 months more of growing and maturing to look forward to.

Dr. Bernardino Arocha Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thanks hair_care, That is correct he has at least that much longer to grow. What's more on exam he had TNTC stubble on palpation, and that confirms your suspicion!

Regular Member Microscopic_slivers Posted March 25, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 01, 2010 06:00 PM Hide PostIs that a Buzz Clipper #2 or a Buzz Clipper #1? Sorry, I can't tell Just for future reference azn_guy, This patient actually has a fade with a zero to 1 guard over the donor area. The scar is only minimally visible but it would not be if the stylist used a 2 guard! I am employed by Dr. Arocha as his lead tech at Arocha Hair Restoration.
