Procedure detail
This patient is his 20's from Italy started losing his hair at a very early age.
In an attempt to regain his youthful appearance he turned to artificial hair
implants. As we have presented in the past, this solution is not a good choice
for the long term. The foreign body represented by the artificial hair creates
inflammation and can lead to infection in the area.
You can see some
irregularity of the skin as a result of the implants in one of the pre-op
photos. Once the artificial hairs are removed, the skin can heal and
transplanting into those areas has been proven to be quite successful as is the
case here. When he sought out help from Dr. Hasson, fortunately he had a nice
supply of donor hair. As with any other patient with this degree of hair loss
and donor supply, Dr. Hasson rebuild a new hairline and frontal zone working
into the mid scalp as far back as necessary. The priority of course was the
front and top.
No grafts were placed in the crown, this area was left to
medication. He started Proscar at the time of his surgery. This result is
approximately 15 months post-op. The post op photos were taken when the patient
came to meet Dr Hasson in Italy and not at our clinic.
