Procedure detail
Our hair restoration patient is a 38 year old male who presents with a loss of his frontal hairline,
temporal points, and crown, with advanced thinning in the frontal forelock. His
goals are primarily to reconstruct the hairline, add density to the frontal
forelock area, AND "put a little back there in the crown too doc-". We obtained
and placed 3,106 FU grafts: 1281 one's; 1540 two's; and 285 3's. Graft
distribution was weighted about 3/4 to the anterior (FF) scalp and 1/4 to the
posterior (crown) area. Strip donor area closed tricophytically. The patient
returns at one year for FU. He has scheduled for a second surgery to concentrate
on the crown area next.
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.
