7-Month Real-Time Progress
We are now at 7-months after 3439 follicular unit grafts were placed in the frontal hairline and fronto-temporal angles at the Gabel Center. Her hair is growing so well right now it is difficult to comb through it. In fact, when I was taking the photographs yesterday, she feels that the transplanted area is denser then the non-transplanted areas.
As shown in the photographs, which were taken yesterday, April 25, 2015, (documented with the current Oregon newspaper), her hair is growing and the density is amazing. It is difficult to comb through that section of her hair. Also, note that the hair is wavy which is seen early in the growth period. This is due to the micro-scars that occur when a slit is made. Her hair will eventually become smoother as the micro-scars soften up.
Overall this patient is absolutely thrilled with her progress as it is very difficult to see the scalp in the fronto-temporal angles, which is the reason she had the procedure. She is just anxious for it to grow long for styling purposes, which will take several more months.
We will continue to document, in real-time, her monthly progress.

11 Month Update: Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Patient, Portland Seattle
11 Month Update: Results in Real-Time with Dr. Steven Gabel Patient, 3439 Grafts Frontal Hairline, Portland, Oregon
I have been presenting before and after photographs of this female patient each month to demonstrate the growth of a hair transplant from prior to surgery, immediate postop, her suture removal, and each month afterwards in real-time. Each set of photographs was posted within a couple days of taking the pictures to demonstrate, in real-time, the growth of a hair transplant. I feel this is very educational for people to see the real-time, monthly progress, of a hair transplant and what to expect after the procedure.
This patient is now 11-months after her hair transplant of 3439 follicular unit grafts at our center. She has curly hair which shows with the transplanted grafts as they retain their natural hair structure. She has noticed that the hairs are starting to straighten out as we have expected. Most importantly, they are continuing to thicken, grow, and blend in very well to her natural hair adjacent to the transplanted hair. The goal of hair restoration surgery is to produce a natural result, which we have achieved here.
This patient will return in one month to present her 1 year results. Again, I want to thank this patient for returning each month for these photographs. Because of her busy schedule, we meet at the office on Saturdays to take these photographs.
