Dr. Lindsey app 5000 grafts in 2 cases at 16 months
This fellow is a character. He is an acquaintance of a couple of our techs who came in with class 7 hairloss and a very large head. His donor hair is thin and somewhat sparse. Combine that with a true inability to set still after about 4 hours and you have a difficult surgery. PLUS, he is a chronic green tea drinker, and hence an oozer.
Shown are preop pics and intraop pics from an approximately 2700 graft case. As it turned out, he got up and left before all of his grafts were placed due to anxiety even after 3 valium pills. The only time we've had a case like that. I think we ended up with 300 grafts that we couldn't place at all. Then, he kept his head shaved for 6 months until we did a second case of around 2400 grafts. He again kept his head shaved until all the grafts started to grow in. I suspect he may have shaved out a few, but he has a nice result given his very thin donor hair and his very large area of scalp needing coverage.
He stops by the office about once a month and says now he's on the market for a 4th wife.
He's 16 months out from the first, and 10 months out from the second case. We'll get more pics in a few months to compare.

Can this comment be explained? Is this some type of effect from caffeine? I.e. extra bleeding? Should I cut back the caffeine prior to a procedure?

Is the patient planning on going in for an additional op to have some crown coverage?
