Dear forum members,

Recently, Pat Hennessey, Publisher of the Hair Transplant Network visited with and evaluated Dr. Rosanelli of the San Francisco Bay by observing live surgery. See Pat's Visit to Dr. Tom Rosanelli in San Francisco.

Dr. Rosanelli and his large staff of 10 medical technicians have extensive experience in performing follicular unit hair transplantation using microscopes to dissect follicular unit grafts.

Though Dr. Rosanelli has the staff and experience to perform sessions of over 3000 grafts in a single session, he believes session sizes under 3000 grafts provide his patients with optimal graft survival rates and hair growth.

This patient received 4625 grafts in 2 hair transplant sessions, 2412 for the first and 2213 for the second. His goal was to get as much coverage as possible and look natural.

The pictures below are 7 months after his second hair transplant session.

another bad one! Sorry!

dakota,

Given the number of grafts and that he is a full level 6 on the norwood scale, I think you are probably being a little over critical.

This is certainly not a "wow" result, but what exactly about it is "bad"?

In evaluating the result, I agree that the end result is thin. Dr. Rosanelli believes in creating a "soft" hairline so often won't dense pack it.

However, given the amount of bald area to cover and only 4625 grafts, I feel that he looks good for the number of grafts he received.

In retrospect, though I am pleased with my results, I am still a little thin after 7550 grafts over a norwood 6 area. For 3000 less grafts, I certainly wouldn't call this a "bad" result.

It looks as though some of the grafts may not have grown in the front.

This looks more like a sparce hairline than a soft hairline to me! It just seems that he takes a completly differant approach than most of the other doc's in this community! Just my 2cents
