    Default Dr. Lindsey 3.5 months after 2nd case to treat radiation caused hairloss after cancer

    This 18 year old boy is about 11 years out from radiation treatments to cure cancer in the jaw joint. His entire right parietal scalp was without hair causing him significant distress. Readers may recall that I posted a similar case that we did last year with a one year update with excellent results, also in a young man. And readers may know that my daughter has brain cancer, so I am only too familiar with what these kids have had to endure.
    This family came to see me and we discussed a strip procedure and our first case placed hair more toward the middle, hoping that gravity will allow hair growth to come down and camouflage lower down hair loss. It grew in quite well, and we did a second case at the end of July (11 months after the first case).
    I was very frank with the patient and his parents that I have only done one other of these cases….but that I am highly motivated to help them, given my personal situation with my daughter. Our medical student is writing this case up for presentation and publication, and he’s been unable to find much in the medical literature so we are all in somewhat uncharted territory. Given the radiation, I am never sure that it’s going to work….but I’m certainly hopeful. His recipient area felt like normal scalp, it appeared to have good vascularity and he did great cleaning.
    We did his case in mid July 2012. He got his sutures out and went off to be a freshman in college. I saw him when he got home for Thanksgiving break. Just like his first surgery and the other young man that we have worked with in similar circumstances, he is growing early. The first case has filled in nicely and does a decent job of camouflaging the lower area that is just now starting to grow. I asked him to spin by at spring break and again at a year. And hopefully either he or his mom will chime in to this thread.

    This young man stopped by today at 20 months or so out from his original case. Shown are in office pics and a couple out front with his mom, 2 of my staff, and me.
