Procedure detail
This 32 year old gentleman wanted to rebuild some density in his crown area,
which was very thin. 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
2,952 grafts were used. The break down was as follows: 1,098 single hair grafts,
1,502 two hair grafts, and 352 three hair grafts. I used significantly more
single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural look.
More grafts were packed into the crown and less packed farther back into the
mid-zone. These are his results 8 months post-op and he will continue to see
more improvement over the next few months. As I suggested, he is now taking
Propecia to control further hair loss. As you may have anticipated, the patient
is extremely happy with his results.
