Sometimes it's useful to show patients just as they are growing out rather than just preop photos and 1 year post op photos.

This patient visited after only 4 months and consented to allow me to post the photos of his journey to this point.

Notice that the hairline is now visible, but not near fully formed. It is enough, however, to see what the future has in store for him.

Now, time is working on his side, rather than against him.

We'll post new photos of him as he progresses through his hair reclamation.

Dr. Feller

Thats cool, thanks!

I am in a similar situation waiting on growth and the longer hair that are 1.5" long in the center represents native hair (that was shaved down in the original pic) that continued to grow.

You can see on your patient the outline of hair that was transplanted and is much shorter.

Once the growth starts, do patients experience a growth explosion, or do new sprouts continue at a steady rate? What % of your patient's grafts would you estimate have sprouted at 4 months?

Thanks for taking the time to post this .
It looks like its going to be another killer result.

i really like your work dr.feller one of my favorite doctors. keep us posted !!

Emp,
Growth occurs in fits and spurts. However, the caliber of each hair USUALLY thickens continually throughout the first 14 months.

Thanks Jup.

It will be interesting to see what the difference is in a couple of months.

After my first HT the difference between months 4 and 5 were remarkable.

Good (interesting) pix, will be nice to see a comparison in the next few months as it is such a seminal time period for growth.

Dr. Feller,

This kind of "in progress" update is highly candid and helpful...thanks!

Looks like this guy is in for some serious transformation...

Update:
6 month photos added to gallery.

Dr. Feller,

So far so good! It's funny, because in his after pictures, his profile with the hair kind of looks a little bit like Kevin James!

The question remains, that will it help speed up the remaining growth if he wears a Yankee Hat?

Nice work doc!

Falc

Maybe he could borrow Chien-Ming Wang hat .

Thank you Falc, and YES a Yankee hat will help overall growth.

PGP
??????????????????????

For one the works looks real nice so far. For two you should take a much needed break and put down those blades, loupes and text books and open a paper. He can borrow his hat cause he wont need it.

Hmmm, maybe your right.
But every time I try to get out...they PULL me back IN.
(That's my Pachino immitation)
