HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Euro-

Sure, Japanese patients are candidates for HT and we do treat them at this clinic.

And yes, the Japanese do bald. Sure as the Europeans

Usually we see temple points taking 150-300 on each side. Depends on how pronounced you want the shape to be.

Voice, Yes, Norwood 2’s are good candidates particularly if they are older with stable loss. Better to treat this with FIT or FUE rather than Strip. It is hard to justify an excision for a small number of grafts. Euro, Patients with average or even poor donor hair characteristic can be treated suc...

Apgr, Working inside an empty crown (with an otherwise non-balding scalp) is low risk in terms of shock loss. This phenomenon is just not an issue when planting in areas with little or no hair. There is an advantage to treating patients that have isolated frontal loss versus isolated crown loss thou...

Dr. Cole and the team planted 1,300 FIT grafts in this patient’s frontal area to reinforce his hairline. In the before photos you will see a considerable area of vellus “peach fuzz” hair where the patient’s hairline rested in his younger days. The new hairline was designed around this vellus...

One of the great benefits of Follicular Isolation Technique is that it gives patients the option of a short and tight hair cut. Often we see patients with extensive scarring from other forms of HT that cannot clip their hair as they would like. This is unfortunate, as often times the hair will look ...

As much as Dr. Cole likes sushi and traveling, we currently do not have plans to be in Japan anytime soon. We are based in Atlanta with another office in Brussels. If you want to at least get an opinion, you might try a photo consult. After Dr. Cole looks at the case we give you a detailed report of...

The best candidates are European :o Eurostar, When we look at hair color we like to see a limited contrast with skin color. So, for example blond or white hair against fair skin will give a nice illusion of coverage due to the minimal contrast. In regards to hair diameter, course hair is obviously g...

FIT is really where it’s at for most patients. The moth-eaten term should be applied to antiquate open-donor punch harvests. It is does not apply to FIT due the minute size of the incisions and pattern of extraction that we adhere to. You have been misled about our punch sizes. As far as I can tel...

If you want to start a not-recommended list, you should check out the "HT Repair" section on this or any other board. The names of docs-to-avoid are usually there.

Emanresu, Listen to me carefully; we are the BEST (just teasing you :lol: ). Seriously, you are right to be cautious when researching hair loss solutions on the net. My best advice to anybody suffering with hair loss is jump on maximum medical therapy and hold onto what you have. It is good that you...

Looking sharp, my friend. And you know that I predict "this too shall pass" with great sadness

You and swaynetraine have given us great holiday photo gifts for our boards this month

iostream, This is not a significant amount of miniaturization. This may not be a predictor of future loss at this stage. On the other hand, it may be an indication of very very early hair loss. If you cannot see it, that is a good sign. It seems you have a concern of doing work and experiencing loss...

The first week of healing here really tells the tale of how graceful the FIT procedure can be. If we look at the progression of the photos, we see that incision heal by primary intention and the wounds contract. Sometimes we hear people claiming that FIT incision can increase in size post op. We fin...

Awesome photos bro. Donor is looking nice.

We appreciate your participation on this board. Your experience is a great help and learning tool for other patients!

Rowdyone82, It is good that you are using propecia and Rogaine together; they tend to have a synergistic effect. 30–years-old is an ok time to begin to consider HT surgery. One thing to ask your self is if you want a STRIP or a FIT. During a strip harvest a long strip of skin is excised from the b...

True Forhair, I hear this time and again. Internet researchers will often read this and other boards everyday for months or years. Once they find a solution, the impetus to post grows less and less. We are lucky as a practice though as many of our patient still allow us to post their photos and resu...

There should not be a problem getting you in contact with some patients. Give the office a call and we will give you a list of guys who offer there contact info to perspective patients. If you desire a follow up consult, you can set this up through the patient coordintors at http://www.forhair.com/p...

I think this gent had another 2000-2500 FIT recently. Once that grows out, I am sure he will get away with alot of different styles...

A total 2800 FIT grafts were placed over this patient’s frontal third and crown area. The after photos were taken 2 years after the procedure.

Just another great FIT result from Dr. Cole and the IHTI team!
