Procedure detail
This hair restoration patient is a 45 year old gentleman that came into our office with two goals in mind; to reconstruct his receding temple areas and fill in his crown. After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss. After understanding the patient’s concerns, I discussed several options with him on how we could reconstruct his hairline and fill in his crown. Since the patient was 45, and he had responded well to Propecia over the last few years, we agreed on a slightly more aggressive approach with his hairline. We placed 3,616 grafts, which were a combination of 1, 2, and 3 hair follicular units. These are his results 11 months after surgery. He is extremely happy with his results.
Bald class
Norwood stage 3 Vertex
In terms of the receding hairline, stage 3 vertex balding is a less drastic version of stage 3.
However, people experiencing stage 3 vertex balding will also begin losing hair on the crown of their head. This often starts as one small bald spot.
