Dear Beener,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While we cannot always see eye to eye with every patient, we do appreciate feedback, listen, and always strive for the finest in results and patient care.
With that said, a few key points:
- 4400 grafts in some patients is 6,000 hairs, in others 10,000 hairs - grafts do not necessarily tell you how much hair is placed. This can be an increase of more than 65%.
-Furthermore, there are many other variables that affect the final appearance of density, including but not limited to the total area covered, the color contrast between hair and scalp, the angulation and patterning of the hairs, and the caliber of the hairs.
-These photos are not just showing the front and hairline (in my opinion, the single most important view for it shows whether or not the restoration is natural in appearance), but also of a 40 to 45 degree tilt. I’m sorry if you don’t view these results favorably, but everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, plus these are just one example of thousands of my before and after photos that you can check out on my website, www.foundhair.com. I have perhaps more before and after results than almost any site in the world.
My objective in what I do is to provide the very best hair restoration procedure given a patient’s goal and available donor hairs, and if I make my patient happy and feel in my heart that I achieved the best result possible, then I have succeeded . While I hope to make even online reviewers and peers impressed with my results, this is not all-important. I have learned I cannot keep every third party “critic” is satisfied- although you are certainly entitled to your opinion, and to voice it publicly if you feel so.
Again, thank you for your feedback and we will continue to work hard to make improvements and strive for only the finest as we have for the past 19 years and over 10,000 patients.
