Procedure detail
This is a 50 year old patient who hoped to obtain as much coverage as possible for his balding pattern. He was accustomed to wearing long hair and felt that full coverage would provide the best look for his preferred style. Based on a relatively snug donor site it was recommended that he undergo two staged sessions – the first to address his hairline and midscalp regions and the second to manage his bald crown. His first session utilized 3331 grafts to establish a frontal hairline and to restore the midscalp region. The second procedure was performed one year later at which time 1722 grafts were transitioned from the midscalp into the crown. A total of 5053 grafts were used to provide a relatively homogeneous final graft distribution throughout the front, midscalp and crown regions. Representative photographs demonstrate his hairline refinement and the final density obtained along his central part. A video link below best demonstrates the coverage obtained throughout the scalp and the details of his crown restoration.
