Dr. Lindsey Stage 1 of a 3 stage major flap failure repair case, McLean VA

[Dr. Lindsey]

This fellow is now a year out from 2600 grafts, of his relatively fine donor hair, and returns for step 2—to remove his failed flap procedure from the 1980’s. You may recall that because he had a large flap, which ultimately failed years ago, that his donor region is not terribly dense, and he has moderate quality hair. Step one was to do a hair transplant behind his flap. Step 2 will be to excise the flap and scar, and to place whatever hair we can get, at the back of his first transplant. Step 3, next year will be a second strip case to augment the frontal hairline, touch up any scar issues, and increase density.

He’s done quite well this year. These pictures were taken the day before starting step 2 which I’ll post separately in the next few days. He’s amenable to coming on and posting his story on occasion so I’d like his thoughts on this quite complex and challenging case.

A very realistic outcome. Nice Work!
