    And it is true that even the best HT doctors get a poor result every now and then. Most of the bad results however are from sub-standard or new doctors learning HT surgery.

    Things are improving overall compared to ten years ago.
    There are quite a few ways to botch a transplant. Bad results seem generally more subtle these days.

    Yesterday's consult wants to repair pitting and today's patient has rows of strip scars. Neither patient is a severe case, but any kind of scarring or unnatural result can make most men feel self conscious.

    but not sure about the placement

    looks like that forelock the patient shaved is not going anywhere soon

    maybe a "V" shape should have been done with receded temples

    that can always be done in a second pass, no problem

    glad this machine worked out for the patient as he was the first in the clinic
    The last I heard, Adamo was very happy with his restoration, and yet I don't know that he had planned to have a second procedure. He addressed the frontal and mid-scalp, which was of the biggest concern to him. It definitely made a very tremendous and positive change for his look…..and his lack of posting was just because he's out enjoying life!! I echo what others say about getting to the point where posting regularly just happens to wane a bit once the hair starts growing. I'll see if I can get any updates from the clinic and will let the forums know! Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

    Best,

    Mike

    Agenteye it’s amazing how there can be views on some aspects of hair transplantation that can be so different, for instance posting to forums. It’s been my experience that many fail to come back to post at the 12 month mark and have lost their initial excitement not because of the fear of waning on but because of so many others issues. I guess maybe I have just spoken to too many patients from various clinics to not believe this to be true.

    I’m sure many have moved on and are very pleased with their result as you state for this patient but I don’t think we can take a blanket statement like patients just move on and believe it applies to everyone it would simply not be accurate.

    Good to hear this patient is doing so well.

    There was a seminar not too long ago in the UK on how purchasing a robotic system for hair transplantation can turn one’s business into a million dollar operation. I’m not sure if that is going to happen but it sure does sound exciting as long as it is the best option for the patient. The patient’s welfare should stand above all else.

    Congratulations on this outcome.

    From my experience, most guys move on with their lives after the procedure and never return to the forums because in their eyes, there is no need to, at least not until they need another procedure...

    There are those in this industry that can only hope everyone moves on so that their work can go on unhindered. For some us that would be equivalent to leaving some behind in a burning building without making an effort to help them get out by showing them the way, unconscionable……… a foreign concept to many but seems to be a common trait among too many who work in this industry.

    BTW what happened to Matt. He was on these forums for how many years advising young guys then he gets a hair transplant himself with the clinic, updates for a few months then disappears. Why is that looked upon so negatively when someone brings it up and asks, it’s a legitimate question.

    Is he just moving on with his life………………………..I mean really what’s the deal?
