Procedure detail
This patient originally contacted me about putting "a few hundred" grafts via FUE into his hairline. I examined photos he attached and disagreed with the approach. While this may have been a viable option for an older guy with stable and minimal recession, doing these little "fill" procedures in younger guys with unstable frontal zones and future loss isn't usually the best move.
So I advised him to instead consider building a solid foundation with a larger, dense pack, "frontal band" FUT procedure. He thought it over and decided to go with the plan.
I designed a new hairline -- that will look as natural in his 60s and 70s as it will in his 30s -- and outlined the frontal band region behind it. I then densely filled the area with 2,000 grafts via the FUT technique.
8 months later, the patient contacted me thrilled with the results! He was very pleased we went with the more strategic and "long term" plan, and sent in the following photographs.
