Crown photos are coming up!
This patient had three sessions. The first session was in 2004, where 700 body hair grafts were placed in the crown.
The second session was in 2005, and we placed over 3000 body hairs in the crown and a light density all over the frontal third and middle to help thicken them. At this time, the body hairs from this session have almost all grown in. Most of them have thickened and matured, but there still can be maturation from this group over the next few months.
The third session was in December of 2006. Body hairs were again placed in the crown and throughout the frontal third and middle. These body hairs are still coming in. We will be able to see them add thickness over the next year and a half.
During the second and third sessions we also used body hair for FIT farming which is where a body hair is placed into the donor extraction sites of the scalp. Over 5800 scalp grafts were extracted from the donor over these three sessions, and more then 50% of the extraction sites were allowed to heal with a body hair graft in them. The FIT farming has really made the difference in how this patient can style his hair in the back.
Dr. Cole continues to increase the options available for people with class 6 hair loss. I'll keep you updated on the developments!  |
