As I don't think any members have yet to comment on a HT by Dr Nakatsui who is a coalition member and a couple of people in Alberta have asked about him I have posted photos of my surgery with him which took place yesterday.
I'll fill in all the details later of the experience and my opinions. Feel free to comment on the job.
He trained with Hasson and Wong, does FUT dense packing and uses lateral slit technique

Total grafts 4312.

Agio,

Thanks for your post and congratulations on your recent hair transplant experience with Dr. Nakatsui.

You are correct that there haven't been many patient shared experiences of Dr. Nakatsui. I know I will for one follow your progress with great interest.

I look forward to reading your detailed experience and following your monthly progress.

Best wishes,

Falc

That is the breakdown by number of hiars per each graft. Singles, for instance, are grafts with just one hair and are typically placed along the hairline for a natural look.

Back in the day, my 'plugs' were fours, fives, sixes, etc. A coalition doc who looked at it said I even had some eight counters up in the crown. That was back when no micrscopes were used.


100? 'mini' grapfts by Latham's Hair Clinic - 1991 (Removed 50 plugs by Cooley 3/08.)
2750 FU 3/20/08 by Dr. Cooley

My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Cooley

Current regimen:
1.66 mg Proscar M-W-F
Rogaine 5% Foam - every now and then
AndroGel - once daily
Lipitor - 5 mg every other day
Weightlifting - 2x per week
Jogging - 3x per week

Looks great and you healed up fast. You must be pretty happy from your results. Have you had any shockloss?
