Dr. Paul Shapiro 1 yr Result 2693 gr/5193 hairs

[janna]

Dr. Paul Shapiro s patient who had 2693 grafts placed to restore the frontal 1/3+. His frontal hairline & forelock was intact so Dr. Shapiro made incisions surrounding it. Interesting note the two hair grafts were all planted into coronal incisions, tough to tell if it made a difference. Patient s donor strip width varied from 1.2cm, 1.4cm & 1.5cm, which was taken in three sections. The donor pics were taken at patient s 6 months follow up appointment. The donor incisions scar was difficult to locate. Patient is happy with his results and does not feel he needs another session as long as his hair loss does not progress.

Janna, why did the Patient €™s donor strip width vary from 1.2cm, 1.4cm & 1.5cm and taken in three sections? The result looks awesome to date.

During many cases, our doctors like to take strip in sections as to not get stuck taking out a certain width in case the laxity is not what it seemed initially before surgery got underway. Generally, the middle tends to be more loose than the sides too so the width in the middle section is greater. Dr. Paul started out 1.4 on one side but felt it'd be more prudent to go 1.2 on the other side. The scar throughout looks perfect.

It never ceases to amaze that you guys are able to give the appearance of more graphs than what were actually transplanted. Looks fantastic, awesome result!
