Welcome back to the Anderson Center for air we’re here with our patient Dan and we’re going to have a look at his stitches it’s time for the stitches to come out we’re at day 14 now and have a look you can see there’s not a lot of evidence that really anything is taking place chin down for me a bit it looks like in the back of a normal person’s head you know look like you’ve had an operation but if we have it I check under here you can see right there are the stitches of there are ready to come out out see the hair’s grown a little bit we try to minimize the amount of trimming of the hair so there just a little bit left above and below the stitches we’re going to take those stitches out right now let’s have a look at Dan’s scalp after the stitches have come out we just took them out and as you can see we’ve got some his hair taped up with a little bit of paper tape here is the little stitched or actually the wound here that goes all the way across you can see there’s no stitches in here anymore it’s slightly red that redness is going to kind of go away over the next couple of weeks but you can see really the the wound has healed it’s just a tiny little line through the through the scalp that goes across the grain of the growth of the hair the hair is all coming down like this and so one of the nice things with the FUT wound and the resulted tiny scar is that it does go across the grain sorry about that Dad of the of the hair and what that means is because the the hair is coming in up you know from the top down and the scar is going across perpendicular to the growth that when you just color the hair down it covers it very nicely and really you’d have to comb up through the hair looking for that little wound and soon to be a little tiny thin scar it’s not going to suddenly become exposed if it gets if you get wet caught in the rain here coming out of the pool or the lake a hot tub maybe it’s just you know you kind of have to really make a point of trying to find it and a lot of people report because we use the Tropic method and it’s a surgical method forcing the hairs to grow through the scar a lot of times a scar after it’s fully healed is kind of hard to find even for for hair stylists and let’s take a look at where the grass were placed in What’s called the recipient area we’re going to have a look of course we placed a whole bunch of Les in through here you can see the scabbing and redness is all gone it looks great you can feel the little bit of peach puz there throughout the trading area and those are going to continue to grow over the next 12 months and Dan will have his final results at about a year
