UPDATE!



Patient had a procedure previously on the left.

Was interested in Dr. Bolton's Maxharvest Density procedure.

This photo really illustrates the difference in technique and methods.


I still remember and extensive conversation that I had with the patient where he questioned how if he got 6,000 hairs from his previous surgery which consisted of 3,000 grafts with an average of 2 hairs per graft we could make a difference with the same 6,000 hairs but with only 1,000 grafts.

The patient said it is 6,000 hairs either way how can you do better with the same amount of hair?

Because we do not continue to cut grafts smaller and smaller and smaller into primarily one and two hair grafts.  The more you cut, the more damage, less survival and less inherent density as the hairs
that used to be close together are now separated.  We use micro grafts only in the front hair line, which total approximately 170 grafts.  The rest will behind the hair line and they will average
6-8 hairs per graft which is how we can usually at least double up most patients previous work elsewhere.
