Procedure detail
This patient had a hair transplant about 10 years prior. The result was an abnormal V-shaped hairline, noticeable plugging, and a wide donor scar placed too low. He had a very tight scalp and somewhat below average density (75 FU/cm2) and the most that could be safely harvested was 3,272 FUs (1=811, 2="1406," 3="904," 4="151)." The hairline was corrected to produce a more natural shape. About 70 grafts were placed into the old donor scar and many of the old plugs were cored out and recycled. He plans to do another hair restoration session to give some crown coverage.
Bald class
Norwood stage 5
Occurs when the connecting bridge of hair disappears leaving a single large bald area on the front and top of the scalp. The hair on the sides of the scalp remains relatively high.
