Procedure detail
This 44-year-old gentleman desired more fullness in the frontal half of his
scalp to "frame his face" more effectively. His primary emphasis was that his
appearance be natural. With an average donor density and a
relatively tight scalp, approximately 1700 grafts were generated using
follicular unit transplantation (FUT). Despite this relatively modest number of grafts, the
patient is demonstrating early growth at 8 months that are achieving his
goals.
Bald class
Norwood class 2A.
The class A variation of the Norwood scale is a slightly different and less common progression of hair loss. The main differences are that the hairline recedes back uniformly, without leaving an island of hair in the middle, and there is no bald area at the vertex. Instead, the hairline progresses directly from front to back.
