This Patient Had His Procedure Elsewhere at a Discount Doctor's Practice (Not Dr. Bolton's Patient)

This unfortunate patient was lured by a practice that advertises that they are the cheapest practice to have your procedure done. He still paid $6,000. That is a lot of money to get a bad result. His doctor's strategy was to cover his whole head. What they neglected to tell him is that an area that large cannot be filled in one procedure with any consistent density. The doctor failed this patient and left him with a big scar in the donor area and not enough of a result to grow his hair out without looking sparse and unnatural.




Now Contrast the case above with the case below. Both have large areas that need to be filled. Look how Dr. Bolton's strategy was to focus on the frontal zone first so that he can get a substantial result and then 8 months later have the patient return to do the crown.
This way at the very least the patient has a result that is life changing in a positive way. He now has the option to return and transplant into the back area or just enjoy the restoration and enhancement of the frontal hair line. He paid a bit more for his procedure then the young man above but he got a tremendous value because it was done properly.



From the front the patient has an excellent result. The patient has just returned for his second procedure to transplant the crown. You are looking at a picture (below) immediately after Dr. Bolton completed his case.


This enabled Dr. Bolton to put just as much hair in the crown as he put in the frontal hair line. This patient had to have two surgeries if he wanted to cover his entire head from front to back. This is the proper way to approach this case. Dr. Bolton was upfront and honest in explaining that he needed two surgeries to cover the entire area. The patient got tremendous value because the first procedure was a benefit to him that he is enable to enjoy and now it is just a matter of months to he has total coverage to his entire scalp.
