Dr Epstein transplanted 3250 grafts into the chest. Below is an email from the patient sent to Dr Epstein.
Hi Jeff,
I wanted to check in with you for 2 reasons: One is that today is exactly six months since you did my procedure in Miami, and the other is that tomorrow is my birthday. The two are actually related, because when deciding to do the procedure, I had it in the back of my head that it would be six months from that date to my birthday and what a great birthday present it would be if, at 56 (which is the age I turn tomorrow), I finally looked more like the image of myself I always had in my mind. While that's not exactly the case, I have to say that I'm pretty darn pleased with the results so far. The attached photo was taken two days ago (I actually took it, shooting into a full-length mirror.) You can see that the hair has filled in nicely. It's been a fascinating process to watch. And also a great exercise in patience! Anyway, I just wanted you to get a long-distance look. I know you wanted to see me at 8 months, which puts us in June.
I hope you've been well, and I wish you a very happy Passover! If you get a chance, I'd love to know what you think of the results shown in the photo and how it compares to other patients after 6 months.
Best, |
