Our Results




This patient recently underwent a hair transplant at our center.
As seen in the preoperative photos, he had only scant hair in the
frontal scalp region, which he desired to fill in.
This patient was extremely enthusiastic about the whole process
and he wanted to have us document it with monthly photographs
and video. The video we have in this post is immediately after
the procedure. As Ken returns to the office each month, we will
be posting his video, photographs, and story so the community
can watch his hair growth as it matures.
His reason for doing this is to tell others what the experience of
hair restoration is like. He felt that the procedure itself was much
easier then anticipated.
We transplanted 2569 grafts in the frontal scalp. The breakdown
is as follows:
1 haired grafts: 620
2 haired grafts: 1525
3 haired grafts: 414
4 haired grafts: 10
I want to publicly thank Ken for doing this. He lives in Portland
and will be stopping by the office to shoot video and take
photographs each month as his transplanted hairs grow to
maturity.

interesting as it gives people a look into the reaction of family
and friends to his new hair.

Ken is now 6 months after his procedure. He had had 2569 grafts
placed into the frontal scalp region. The hairs are now starting to
grow. Watching the video is interesting as it gives people a look
into the reaction of family and friends to his new hair.
At this point, the hair is starting to grow faster. It is slowly
starting to fill in. He has a long way to go before he is completely
filled in.
At month 1, he shaved his head; at this point in month 2, the
transplanted hairs have gone through the shedding cycle.

to fill out very nicely, is growing quite fast now, and starting to
add density to give it a fuller appearance.

Ken is now 9 months out after transplanting 2569 grafts to the
frontal scalp. The current photographs when compared with the
before photographs show how well a transplant can change the
appearance of someone. Ken looks younger, he feels younger,
and it has had a tremendous positive influence on his life and
career. Hair style is also very important; again, his curly hair is a
bonus as that adds a layering effect. The progression has been
fantastic and life changing.
