Procedure detail
38 year old male presented to our clinic for one year post-op visit today after receiving 2000 FUE grafts to his crown and frontal forelock. 500 grafts were placed in his vertex, with the remaining grafts to his frontal area. He has been stable on finasteride since his first consult with our clinic 6 years ago. He has very good hair caliber, and we chose such a conservative graft count due to his high number of three and four hair follicular units. His hair per graft count was outstanding at 2.7 hair/graft for a final hair count of 5473 hairs. A 0.85 mm Vortex punch was used for extraction, and Hans Lion Implanters used for implantation. All grafts were harvested and placed by the physician. A future procedure is being planned to add grafts to his vertex.
Bald class
Norwood stage 3 Vertex
In terms of the receding hairline, stage 3 vertex balding is a less drastic version of stage 3.
However, people experiencing stage 3 vertex balding will also begin losing hair on the crown of their head. This often starts as one small bald spot.
