Procedure detail
This patient has diffuse patterned alopecia with excellent donor hair. He underwent hair transplant surgery consisting or 3,458 grafts (8,080 hairs) and the results are shown 13 months later. We did not shave his recipient area because, like most of our patients, he planned on being back at work in a week and simply would never have had a transplant if he had to shave. We will shave if the patient doesn't care. His donor scar, done with trichophytic technique, was virtually undetectable. Not all patients get this kind of result.
Bald class
Norwood class 4
Characterized by further frontal hair loss and enlargement of vertex, but there is still a solid band of hair across the top (mid-scalp) separating front and vertex.
