This man has had several transplants and a nice donor region still remains. Much of what he currently has in his crown is transplanted from previous surgeries done elsewhere, and he has lost his non-transplanted hair in this region which has left him thin.
We shaved his crown, and using 0.7mm slits, were able to densely pack (around his previously transplanted follicules) 1800 grafts.
Of note, one may suggest that a denser pack could have been done---HOWEVER, our goal was not to damage or transect any of the follicles that he had paid for elsewhere, and that were still nicely growing. We wanted to enhance his previous procedures.
The closeup at the end of the day shows the grafts we placed in his shaved scalp.
The picture at 10 days shows a combintion of the grafts that I placed and his pre-existing grafts. |
