The 50 Graft Test Procedure

[Arashi]

Looking at the donor pictures though, to me it seems we do have enough to make a valid analysis (I'm talking about post-op photo's), but it's going to be a lot more difficult if we don't get better photos. Still hoping James can shoot some good ones.

[Arashi]

Arashi, have we got the before picture yet from Hasci or know when we'll have it?

I've asked Kristel if they have better ones, will let you know. She said they've shot tons of photo's, so I have hope

Also, James, from Kristel I understood that they've placed all 1's in those 2 sections below your hairline and all 2's into your scar. I don't think you've posted a picture of the scar yet ? I might be mistaking though, will go trough those photo's again.

Scratch that, obviously the scar recipient is visible. However would be great if you could shoot some better photos. Like Ironman just noted, in 2 days you won't be able to see anything at all anymore.

hey guys,

day 3:

By the way - in 1-2 days it will be TOO LATE for any good photos for documentation, because in around 1-2 days you will see practically NOTHING anymore...


...besides longer and shorter hairs.

donor area:

This one is pretty good (the best so far)...

But it seems that the distance between your camera and your head is either still too far away or you don't use your cameras' ZOOM-function (properly) - I don't know.

Compare with my own day-3 photo...

Everything beyond such a photo is useless for documentations - that's still the problem in your case.

btw - it seems that the camera-settings are okay, but the usage (a little bit) of the zoom-function would be cool and there is no need that the photo contains the whole head - the extraction area is important!

Hi James,

Pictures are not too bad, thanks for uploading these. Would it be possible for you to take a donor shot which isn't quite as blurry and maybe a bit closer?

What shutter speed are you using? And do you have it in macro mode with the flower?

Thanks

[Arashi]

Although the quality of the donor photo's isn't that high .. It's hard to see the extraction points. I'm really not the guy to ask about photographing, I don't know sh*t about that, hehe, but to me it seems the flash is ruining it here ?

Top man!

Have you seen the update on Dean Saunders? Don't suppose you know how many grafts he's had? I've just seen his twitter pic, but don't speak any Dutch, but I know you do! Do the detective work

No, haven't really been following Dean Saunders and I'm one of those people who hate Twitter

Anyway, where's James ?? We indeed REALLY need him to shoot some good pictures of his donor. Like IronMan noted, day 2 and 3 generally are the best since extraction sites are the clearest visible ... I'm just hoping he won't pull a "NeverSayNever" on us and just disappear ?!? The faith of tons of balding guys is in his hands ...

Just PM-ed James on haarweb, I hope he's going to shoot some photo's today.

Yes I personally think 90% - 95% would be an excellent result, but who knows, maybe he can get 100%

Any news on the photos from James and the Hasci photos? Really need to be seeing something today!!!

This is a very interesting point though. One of the main arguments (old school people like Spex) will bring up in favour of FUT over FUE is that the yields of FUT are much better. We can finally see now what the yield with HST will be !! Very very excited to find out !
