Procedure detail
This hair restoration patient is a gentleman in his early fifties who
experienced a gradual thinning of the posterior frontal forelock and mid scalp
over the last 25 years to the point where he refers to this area as the "barren
wasteland" behind "this little mountain" (referring to the retained anterior
frontal forelock seen). We placed a total of 2375 FU grafts during his hair transplant procedure as follows: Ones:
800; Twos: 1434; Threes: 141. Note how we choose to recreate a new hairline just
slightly in front of his current one: this is done so that, as he loses that
hair over time, he doesn't develop a central defect which would certainly be
quite noticeable. Here, at 5 months post op, he has about 50% of his grafts
grown in.
Note: these results are at 5 months postoperative and this patient can look forward to more robust growth in the following months to come.
Bald class
Norwood stage 5V
The two areas of hair loss are larger than in stage 4. They are still separated, but the band of hair between them is narrower and sparser. There is significant hair loss on the top of the scalp (the vertex).
