What can prospective patients expect in terms of naturalness and density?
DR. TRUE states he thinks patients should expect a hair transplant that they cannot distinguish from their other, native hair, and that no one else will be able to distinguish. No one will be able to look and say, oh, that's a hair transplant, rather than hair that was growing there in the first place.
Now there's a whole wide variation of what they can expect in terms of density, and really the key determinant of that is the raw material that Dr. True has to work with, because there's a wide variation. Some people have a tremendous donor supply, hair characteristics that are thick and heavy and a whole abundance and density , and Dr. True can produce really thick results for them. Other people may have a very limited supply, you know, narrow area of permanent hair, the density of the hair in there is not high. But even those patients, yeah, I don't think - people will say am I a good candidate or a bad candidate, and I'll say to them, well, it depends on if what we can produce is something that's meaningful to you.
So if you take someone that's even a class seven or a deep class six, who has limited donor, and recreate a forelock, a bridge area, that's done artistically so that it reflects a natural balding pattern even if it isn't a complete result, then that can be equally satisfying. The supply is still the main control on what Dr. True is able to really accomplish, but with wide variations in that he can still create very aesthetically pleasing results.
