The 50 Graft Test Procedure

[james bald]

hey guys,

I found an old picture: this one is day 2 of the second FUE procedure that I've had in Turkey.

As you can see I have been butchered...

compare this to the work of HST...

Awesome. There is still flashback, but it's quite minimal in this photo and I think we can see all the extractions. Thanks

By the way, how are you feeling? Any pain/itchyness?

No pain at all and no itching. I think HST has done a clean job.

The donor area is recovering very fast, by tomorrow there won't be any marks left. That means I won't be able to take pictures of donor area anymore, because wounds will be healed.


So guys, who is going to count the grats or do the documention?

Light needs to be diffused or come from a different angle. Its too bright, hence the hot spot (or as you call it, flashback)

Without the flash?
Come on - for SUCH photos, whether is day or night - you simply need the flash:

Or can I see here photos without the usage of the flash?

Without the proper equipment (special daylight lightning etc), you simply need the flash. Without the flash, the photos will be too dark.

You've misunderstood

I said because of his camera is decent it's possible to take good photos without a flash.

I on the other hand, you know exactly how crap my camera was and this is why I used the flash.

At least, it is not bad at all. A litte bit closer would be ideal - either the camera somewhat closer or same distance and use the zoom-function - but just a little bit. Should work.

Anyway, at least we can see that you try your best.

p.s - the extraction "wounds" are extremely tiny (in general) and the healing is very fast - looks good so far.

Each lens has a minimum focusing distance. My $1000 Canon 24-105mm f/4L can't focus on anything closer than 45cm. Zooming in won't make a difference. Each lens is different. Most cameras won't produce the 'beep' sound when the subject isn't in focus, its only done on focus, thus a good way to gauge when to take the shot (seeing how he's basically pointing the camera behind his head and unable to look through a viewfinder or LCD screen).

Modern Point and Shoots have a digital macro feature which will allow you to take REALLY nice close-up photos, but it won't be easy consistently pointing the camera at the same angle every time behind your head and not seeing where its pointed. Its a pain in the ass.... unless you get a system of mirrors.

hi guys,

Is this one good?

GREAT! Thanks

Hey your getting good at this, definitely improving.

I wonder if your able to take one without the flash? I think for the quality of the camera you have it should be possible as long as you have good light, maybe some down-lighters/halogens if your taking it in the evening/night time.

The only reason I ask, is because the flash is bouncing right in the center of the photo making it impossible to find the small red extraction spots.

Thanks!

ok got it, looks like I circled 22, I knew there was something not right in that area hence why I didn't originally circle all 50. Some already look very clean.

I'll probably have to redo it, but I still think there is about 240ish circled extractions in my uploaded version And it sounds like you've found even more from what you were just saying!

I may have just messed up. I think I'll just wait for better photo's.

All singles into his temples. Left temple 60, right 90. All doubles into the scar, so 50.

Remind me, how many grafts went into his scar?
