This hair transplant patient came to our clinic in the winter of 07’. The patient is a class 3v with straight, medium coarse, salt and pepper hair. Before coming to our clinic, the patient had 2 strip sessions and a scalp reduction performed during the mid 90’s. The patient’s goal was to soften the frontal hair line and add coverage to the frontal third. Dr. Cole successfully treated this patient with 1000 CIT grafts to the frontal scalp. The video / photo results shown below depict this patient’s progress at 10 months post-op. A dramatic change in the appearance of the frontal scalp has been achieved by 1000 CIT grafts. Also attached is video footage of the patient’s donor area previously harvested by approx. 1800 strip (FUT) grafts and 1000 CIT grafts. CIT scarring may or may not be visible in comparison to the strip scars that are visible in this patient’s donor. This is an advantage of beginning and ending hair restoration with CIT hair transplant method. With CIT, there is no linear scarring associated with strip hair transplant method (FUT). No clinic can guarantee that a surgery is 100% scar free but there are less invasive methods to harvest a donor area. A hair transplant should be performed by hair transplant methods that produce the best aesthetic result in both the donor and recipient area. This satisfied patient will be returning to add density in the crown and top.
