Dr Cooley 4,236 grafts one session

[Jerry Cooley, MD]

This middle aged patient has type VI hair loss. He has fine, straight hair and an above average donor area. He wanted as much coverage as possible. We opted to cut a portion of the grafts as double follicular units, ie two follicular units in one graft (average 4 hair/graft). Given that he has always worn his hair this long and was planning to continue doing so, this method was chosen. It would not be a good choice for someone with coarse hair or who wears a shorter hair style. Essentially, this allowed the patient to get an extra 1,000 grafts for the same fee. We did 4,236 grafts containing 5,305 follicular units: 1-708, 2-1444, 3-856, 4-151, 5-8, doubles- 1069 (avg 4 hair/graft) = over 11,000 hairs. We covered the entire scalp except for the very back crown. He is shown 2.5 years later.

Nice result Dr. Cooley.

How is your ACell plucking going? There doesn't seem to be any results posted from the procedure after at least a couple of years of talking about it... Are you still doing it? Can you tell us about the presentation you did at this year's IHRS? Any photos at all that can show a large successful plucking procedure?

Regards.

I will be presenting an update very soon, probably later this week. Thanks for your interest.

Yes, good result. I commend you for taking the photographs with the hair combed straight forward and also parted down the middle. Most surgeons only showed the 'styled' results.

Hi Doctor Cooley,

Just following up from a few weeks ago, when you mentioned you were a few days away from presenting your latest Acell/plucking findings.. The suspense is killing us!
