This man had a fairly conservative frontal triangle repair in mid November. We did 1500 and saw him for a scar check in January, pics shown.
He walked in this morning with 2 of his dissolvable sutures working their way out....which occurs in about 10% of patients. He commented that he thought he was growing already, and we looked at the pictures from today and sure enough he's maybe 50% growing.
You will also note we addressed a wide hairless crainiotomy scar as well. I couldn't find it today for pictures...so I think that hair is growing.
I'd love to have everyone growing this early, but its just luck. I suspect that for each fast grower there is a slow grower averaging things out to a 6 month growth start for most of our patients.
He'll stop by this fall for final pics.
