» Congrats ! Dr. Arvind I always like your work but I have to ask this, she
» only had 2100 grafts in total for such a large and mostly scarred area,
» isn’t that too good to be true?

Dear Mr. Frodo,
Minu has not completed her journey.
She is maybe half way there. We transplanted some more grafts in Feb 07 and more sessions will be required in future to address other areas.

In the initial sessions, we have focussed on the more visible areas.

Regards,
Dr. A

Where is the TOP view after photo?

Well have to say. She looks good in the after. And the yield for 2100 is there. But as someone who has been on hairsite for some time some questions are missed here. First is yes when showing a result it is allways good to show top which in this case there was a lot to cover on this patient. Also Marco mentioned was this strip and if so why?

Dear forum readers,
Following are some update pictures taken in July 2007.

Minu had very limited scalp donor area laxity. However, triclosure benefitted her.

Minu also has scarred recipient area. Yet, the grafts have grown.
In addition, the yield in FUSE and strip method is equal.

Regards,
Dr. A

Dear Duck,
My apologies for the delay in reply.
I am still in the process of uploading Minu’s updates.

I have stated it before, and I repeat it. Minu is still far from total repair.

Its just that now she is hopeful that she can one day go out in the world with hair flowing (no worries). This is the first time I saw her smiling and confident. I am happy for that.
One day, I hope, that will be possible.
At present, she can go with friends without having to cover her head.
One day, she will not have to worry about that, I hope.

Thanks for the best wishes for Minu, and me.
Regards,
Dr. A
