Dear Neveragain,
Jenny has a congenitally (since birth) high hairline. This is not a case of male pattern baldness.
Regards,
Dr. A

This is going to be an interesting thread to follow. Thanks Dr. Arvind for this information.

I see a very obvious gap between the grafts and her natural hairline, what is the logic behind that? I think the gap is too big.

I noticed that too, maybe it will still be ok since the gap will be hidden between her own hair and the new grafts? What is the reason for the gap though?

Actually, the front 2 rows of her pre existing hair are cut to place grafts in between them. Once the hair start growing, you will understand what I mean.

Dr. A,

You are the only doctor who constantly posts video updates, I just want to say I really appreciate what you do, I wish other doctors or patients were as discipline as you are.

Dear forum readers,
This video shows the recipient area of the scalp 9 days after the transplant.
At this stage, the patient should wet the recipient area with saline solution, and rub it with clean cloth/towel. This will dislodge the scabs. You may notice hair shedding with the scabs too. Do not worry. That is normal. They will grow back later.

Dear forum readers,
This picture was taken 27 days after Jenny’s hair transplant. As can be seen, most of the hair are shedding and the redness is gradually subsiding.
