Procedure detail
This hair restoration patient presented six years ago with type V
hair loss and was started on finasteride. We performed FUT consisting of 2,800
grafts to his frontal scalp. He returned a year later and we performed 3,711
grafts to the midscalp, crown, and hairline. I did not see him for many years
till he returned recently to add some more to the crown. In the first two
procedures, he received 6,511 grafts (13,140 hairs). Notice the changes in the
hair over the years. He has very fine hair but after the first procedure, it
appeared a little thicker and was very wavy. We sometimes see these changes in
the first year of new hair growth. Over time, it settles down and blends in with
the rest of the hair.
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.
