Better Hair, New Problem (with Photos)
This young man had two hair transplant procedures by yours truly (the first one was just over two years ago, the 2nd was 8 months later) to fill in his hairline and make it thicker. Now he keeps his hair short, but has a new problem. The hair in the frontal 2 inches is much thicker than the hair behind it. He does understand that cutting his hair short made this a problem that he did not have when his hair was longer, but now he wants more fullness behind the frontal 2 inches. It is a matter of supply and demand. We are now discussing his Master Plan on what to do and when to do it.
Update 6/29/2006 – I added some photos that got left out yesterday:
The photos below are before (the photo on the right is from immediately post-procedure, so you can see where the grafts were placed).
The photos below are after two procedures totalling 5,795 grafts. Click the photos to enlarge.
His hair looks thinner after the transplant. Also, that is pretty sad coverage for having had almost 6,000 grafts. I would rather shave my hair then have that extremely thin look.
How old is this guy? 5,795 grafts is a lot of hair, and to be frank I think he looks better in the before picture. Maybe it’s the choice of hairstyle but the hairline in the aftershot looks like sort of an ‘overhang’ — too straight.
Obviously not a user of the highly regarded “Onion Formula”.
I’ve added 3 more photos that should’ve been included yesterday, but were removed by the blogging software (I had an error thanks to my limited HTML skills and the blog program removed the photos altogether). Hopefully these highlights the original reason for the blog posting (thicker density in frontal hairline).
Oh, and all 5,795 grafts were not transplanted into the front, folks.
