That's a very notable difference for being only 6 months out, but I would definitely come back for another procedure to add more density I were this guy.

I appreciate your opinion but at this stage the patient is 100% happy and has no wish for anything more. When I told him that his hair is going to continue to improve for another six months minimum he didn't believe me and then told me that there is no need for it to improve because he's ecstatic where it is now.

HD video is now available for this patient...

Joe great results very natural.
If you don't mind me asking how old was the patient.
I'm 58 and have similar hair characteristics to the after pics.
If he were to get a second procedure to thicken up the vertex/crown area
what would be the recommendation.

Mlao,

Thank you for commenting. I believe he is 59 years old. If we were to thicken the crown region I'd wager that about 1500 grafts would make for an outstanding result but even less could probably do the trick.

Hmm, I don't understand how this guy wouldn't welcome further improvement to his hair when you can currently see right through it to the scalp, but to each his own.

I wasn't taking a subtle jab at your doctor's work or anything with my original comment, there's only so much a surgeon can do with so many grafts and I think this was a very good improvement for 3361 grafts given how large of an area he had prior to surgery with his hair almost gone.

**Jotronic** · 04-22-2012, 02:05 PM

No subtle jab was perceived but with your latest comment I'm wondering if we're talking about the same guy

I can't see "right through it to the scalp" so I'm wondering where you can. Please elaborate.

Thanks Joe, that's encouraging.

Since the patient is only six months out I'm guessing there would be more
thickening to come. I hope you will post his one year results.

In the pictures I can see though almost everywhere on the top of the head. It's less noticable in the video you posted though.

If the patient is thrilled that's all that is important. I am young and have a lot less hairloss than this guy so I probably have a higher barometer in terms of what is desirable for proper density.

**Jotronic** · 04-22-2012, 09:15 PM

Gandolf,

Ok, I get you now. Something you should be aware of. No hair transplant, and I don't care what clinic says otherwise, that is 3361 grafts over the same area will give a high degree of density. It is simply a mathematical contradiction. To get what we would call high density for such a large area would take double the number of grafts that this patient received if not even more. The beauty of this procedure is that the patient's hair is ideal for coverage and being on the cusp of 60 years old he has no need, much less any desire, for high density that would be required for anyone younger and with less loss.

For cases that would be more to your liking, I have plenty, so stay tuned

Oh I believe you. I plan on having about 3300 put into just my frontal 3rd to get the kind of density I'm after as that's the only place I have significant thinning/recession. Based on what this guy had done I definitely think your clinic maximized what is attainable for the amount of grafts he had transplanted. I just know how I am and if I got the benefit he experienced from one surgery I would get greedy and want another one. But I am 28 and have different priorities than a 60 year old. He turned back the clock a good 15 years or so and I'm sure he's thrilled. I can't wait to see some more of your megasessions.
