Our patient came in today for his procedure bearing gifts. He is in the sunglass business and brought everyone in the office a pair of sunglasses.
Needless to say everyone was excited and appreciative of his kind gesture.
Thank you again Armando for making everyone's day.

Today' Patient Case History
Today's patient has had two prior procedures with nice results. Today the patient brought in a detailed photographic plan for improving his hair.
The plan he outlined was to hit the crown where his coverage was weakest. Whatever hair follicles that are left over will be placed to shape the hair line a bit lower and add some density to the frontal zone.
Because Dr. Bolton takes so much hair in one session this will be achievable for our patient.

Notice the length of donor strip sutures
Dr. Bolton's length of his donor strip is usually 30-50% longer then other doctors who do 3,000 plus graft cases.
Notice how the donor strip goes significantly past the ear. It then continues all the way past the ear on the other side. Plain and simple, more hair better results.

My previous scar
This is what my donor area looked like after four previous surgeries and before Dr. Bolton did a scar revision.
Dr. Bolton does a scar revision from my previous four surgeries
Since I had four previous surgeries I did have some significant scarring in my donor area. It didn't inconvenience me because I never wear my hair short but Dr. Bolton is a perfectionist who leaves the smallest donor scar of any doctor I've ever seen.
Here are my scars exposed prior to surgery. Dr. Bolton will remove them, harvest the remaining hair and leave one fine scar. Here are the pictures.

My Surgery with Dr. Bolton
I am very excited to share with you my experience with Dr. Bolton.
I've had four prior procedures and I am very happy with the results. After working with Dr. Bolton for the last two years and seeing what he was able to do for his patients I decided to take my results to a higher level. I wanted more density, a lower hair line and build out my temporal peaks.
Here is a picture of me right after my procedure. I will update you over the next year
as I get my results.

Exciting new information to come on our website
Our website is constantly evolving. We are in the process of taking the most common questions prospective patients ask and document the question and answer along with a photo or videotape. For example, patients want to know how does the procedure work. We will have a photo or video of the donor site being prepared, shaved and removed and sutured. We also will have pictures of what it looks like after surgery, a day later, ten days later, one month, etc.
We are always striving to make the decision making process easy and with the most information possible. This should be up in the next few weeks.
In the meanwhile, you can go to www.greathairtransplants.com and you will see a lot of great examples of Dr. Bolton's work and viedeos of actual procedures.

Dave from New Jersey flies in from Dr. Bolton
Our patient Dave made it in for his procedure after a rough start. He missed his flight after a missed connection on the train he was taking in to the airport. He hopped another flight and he was able to make it in just one hour late for his scheduled time. Because we only do one case per day it wasn't a big deal that he was late.
Dave had two prior procedures. One with Dr. Ziering and the other with Dr. Gaviria. He has nice results but he was looking to achieve more density. Dave is a class 6 and it is a challenge to get him density and coverage throughout. Today we will use a different method then he had previously with the specific intention of getting density for Dave. We will use micro grafts for the frontal hair line but in the area in the middle of the scalp we will use multi- follicular units to achieve mazimum density. We will look forward to sharing Dave's results.

Patient from Naples, Florida checks in for one year follow-up
Just got off the phone with patient from Naples, Fl. When he came in for his first procedure he almost left before he had his procedure. I watched him pull in the lot and he just sat in his car for 15 minutes until I went out and asked him if he wanted to come in and start his procedure. He was as white as a ghost and sweating profusely and said he was having second thoughts. He did have the procedure and everything went well. He told me he was close to leaving as he was uncomfortable with medical procedures.
He said he was ecstatic with his results, he gets compliments all the time and his new girlfriend commented how lucky he had a full head of hair when his brother was bald.
