HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Attached are before photos of a Norwood Class VII patient who is visiting IHTI with a goal of creating total hair coverage from the front to the crown. To put this endeavor into perspective, a typical Norwood Class V will have roughly 180cm2 of bald/thinning scalp to cover. This patient has up to 270 sq. cm of baldness at a hairline of 8 cm above the glabella. In the initial procedure we will treat only 250 sq. cm. In addition, this patient has fine scalp hair, low follicular density (74fu/cm2), small follicular grouping, and limited surface area for donor harvesting. To put it quite simply this gentleman is not a candidate to traditional hair transplantation. Dr. Cole and the team are circumventing these problem by employing IHTI’s revolutionary methods of donor harvesting, namely Follicular Isolation (FIT) and Body Hair Follicular Isolation (BFIT/BHT). The patient will be receiving well over 10,000 grafts in his first session using body hair alone, and we will be updating you on his progress. In his second procedure in two weeks, we will treat an additoinal 20 sq. cm of bald area and build a new hair line. We will also add head hair to the area we initial treated with body hair alone.

Here it comes!, Day 1-1800 grafts of body hair from the chest.

Here is day 2-1928 Grafts. Total of 3728 in 2 days.

As promised, day 3+4.
Day 3- 1910 grafts.
Day 4- 2103 grafts.
Total so far=7741 grafts

Here are the photos from the 5 day.
Graft count for 5th day=1542
Total of 5 days=9283

This is the final photos for this patient's session of 6 days.
The body hair was exctracted from the chest, stomach, back and neck.
We will show the photos in a few days.
Graft count for 6th day=1520
Total of 6 days=10803

Here is a presentation of the BHT implantation areas all over the head.

So how did this mega-session turn out? Will the results be posted?

How did this turnout? Is the patient pleased with his results or not?

It appears that it has only been around 2 months since his large procedure. I've had 3 procedures and it normally takes at least 3 months until new hairs start to appear, but body hair may take a little longer.

It has been over a year and two months as this surgery occurred in 2005. This patient should have ample growth/healing by now...
