Hi Folks,
I just wonder if there is anyone out there who has had scalp extension surgery, or if anyone has seen the results of this procedure? It is the inventon of Dr Patrick Frechet who I believe is a very well respected practicioner, yet I can find very little about it on the internet or elsewhere.
People on these forums often react negitavely to talk of this procedure without ever saying whether they have seen the results for themselves, mainly because I think they confuse it with an old fashioned scalp reduction which it isn't.
I admit I am very tempted because I know what I am up against as a Norwood 6 hairloss sufferer. The Frechet procedure dramatically reduces the bald area at the crown (15,000 hairs in one operation) meaning there is much less scalp to fill with conventional grafts.
I would be very interested in any feedback about this. If Spencer Kobren sees this thread I would like to ask if he has any thoughts or knowledge about the above and if he knows of Dr Frechet and his reputation. There are other scalp extension practicioners but the only one in America is, I believe, Dr Steffano.
Thanks!
