Dr. Alan Feller Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 There are many people walking around with outdated surgery. The "plug people" are, of course the most obvious. But there is also a set of people who have had poor mini/micrografting as well. While mini/micrografting isn't NEAR as bad as plugs, they still nevertheless call attention to themselves and present a "not so natural" appearence. In this particular patient we see the old style mini/micrografts in all their glory. To fix him, we simply implanted 2500 true follicular units in and around the old micro/minigrafts. By blending them in these old grafts become assets rather than liabilities. 2500 FUs in one procedure via strip procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted October 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Excellent result! Really marked just how superior his new hairline is. The old one was so...."off"....and now it simply looks like a nice, dense head of hair. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member M&M Posted October 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2009 It's amazing how perfectly straight and harsh the old Mini & Micro graft hairlines were, which I can speak to from personal experience. This is a tremendous turnaround and I really like the hairline design you planned for this patient.

Dr. Alan Feller Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thank you for the comments M&M and Bill. Repair patients usually present the most difficult challenges, but also result in greater rewards when grown out and effective. Many many patients need repair work from old style surgery and he's just one of them. Many thanks, Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
