Procedure detail
This 25 year old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 3 on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. 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. His goal was to rebuild a conservative hairline that would be age appropriate now and as he continue to age. In addition, he wanted to add more density to the frontal 1/3 of his scalp. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. A total of 2,789 grafts were used. The break down was as follows: 1,059 single hair grafts, 1,730 two 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 comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. These are his results 8 months post-op. He should see some more improvement over the next 4-6 months. The patient is extremely happy with his result. That said, he does understand that he might need an addition procedure if he would like more density or does have any further hair loss down the road.
