This was a patient who received 4312 grafts to the frontal 2/3 of his scalp about 1.5 years ago. I have attached photos from 5 months out and at the 1.5 yr point. He received 1349 single grafts, 2485 double grafts, and 478 big grafts, for a total count of 4312 grafts.

He had great growth, except for one small area in the frontal scalp that didn't grow very well for some unknown reason. The area of involvement looks fine with no evidence of scar or inflammation. This will require no more than about 100 grafts, which we will fill in at no charge of course.

He told me he has previously posted on here and I found his blog here: Patient blog

For some reason, I cannot find his original photo files. Luckily, I had a few photos in backup, so here they are.

Dr. Nakatsui,

I'd say this is quite a transformation given his level of baldness and only 4312 follicular units.

Thanks for being so transparent and explaining the patient's lack of growth in one particular targeted area. Thanks also for always standing behind your patients to make sure they get the head of hair they deserve and want.

All the Best,

Bill (Falc)

Falceros,

Thanks for the comments. He is very happy with the results and he tells me it looks even better when his hair is a bit shorter. Our plan is to now fill in the vertex at some point in the near future, so we will touch up the small area in the front at that time. I look forward to showing the after photos once everything has been completed.

Dr N.

I like the contrast between the 5 month and 19 month post-op photos. This really shows the maturation of the hair after the initial growth stages. Nice work.
