Procedure detail
This man of Indian descent had plug transplants a decade prior. A session of 2800 grafts (5190 hairs) plus decoring most of the plugs in the front was performed. These plugs were 'recycled' and the follicles within each plug were cut into 1-3 hair grafts. After 3 months, some of the plugs regrew hair and these were treated with electolysis. Although faint light scars show where the plugs were, the overall result is very satisfactory to the patient.
Bald class
Norwood stage 5
Occurs when the connecting bridge of hair disappears leaving a single large bald area on the front and top of the scalp. The hair on the sides of the scalp remains relatively high.
