Procedure detail
This 32 year old gentleman came to me hopeful that I could rebuild his hairline
and add more density to the frontal area of his scalp. These items were
important to the patient as it would allow him to be able to style his hair like
he did 7 years ago. 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. The patient’s goal was well suited to his
needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. A total of 3,782 grafts
were used. The break down was as follows: 1,168 single hair grafts, 2,457 two
hair grafts, and 157 three hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single
hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This
action will allow him to expose his hairline without anyone detecting that he
has had anything done. More grafts were packed into the frontal 1/3 and less
packed farther back into the mid zone. These are his results 6 months post op
and there will continue to be more improvement over the next 6 months. The
patient is extremely happy with his results.
