Anyone see the "real time" hair transplantation on the recent episode of the TV show 'THE DOCTORS' ? They had a primary segment and then returned at the close of the show with only 200 grafts remaining to be implanted.
I was not shocked by the blood or the surgical removal of the donor strip, or the suturing, but I was shocked by two things:
* That the doctor (Dr. Jeffrey Rawnsley, M.D. – Board Certified Head & Neck Surgeon) only made the initial incisions (2000), and then stood back while his "assistants" implanted all the grafts.
* That the "assistants" were jamming the grafts in any which way they could, assembly-line fashion, with seemingly no art or design involved.
I was expecting some thought and design to be involved with the front hairline as to which direction the hair would grow and how it would look. After that, I could see the rest being non-critical, and left to others to do.
It is clear now why many times it is so blatantly obvious that someone has had a HT, while with others you have to really look closely.
A definite eye-opener for me.
