Dr. Lindsey 2500 frontal at 4 months with some early growth McLean VA
So I'm putting this case up for a couple of reasons.
First, this guy lives literally across the street from our office park. He stopped by and has some early growth at 4 months.
Second, his scar looks quite nice and should fade even more by the 1 year mark.
Third, even in a very fair skinned guy, there is essentially no erythema(redness) at 4 months.
And fourth, he has thin donor hairs, and this is what we'd put 2500 into. If he had thicker, wavier hair, and a better skin-hair color match, his count would have been lower.
We see a fair amount of people who have shopped around locally and many times my graft recommendation is higher than my local competitors. Part of our informed consent process is usually showing patients "similar" cases to their heads.... in this case, we showed a guy that I posted a few years ago, who had essentially the same case, but only needed 2000 grafts as he had thick wirey bushy hair that matched his scalp. For this particular fellow, had we have done a smaller case, I suspect at a year, he'd be thinner than he'd want to be with that white skin showing through.
Again he lives close, so I expect to put up pics a couple of more times to show the final result.
Dr. Lindsey McLean VA
