Procedure detail
This is a 47 year old hair transplant patient requested restoration of his frontal hairline. In addition to the usual requests for naturalness and acceptable density, he was especially focused on having a “quick heal” so that he could return to work and social interaction in a short period of time without any evidence of having undergone a procedure. The risk of detectability was discussed in great detail and it was decided that the goal of rapid healing, so as to minimize shock and recipient site pinkness, was to have a higher priority over density. The patient underwent placement of 2622 grafts. Graft placement was performed using a non-shave implantation technique so as to assist immediate postoperative camouflage using his preexisting native hair. Presented are one year postoperative photos.
Bald class
Norwood class 3A
The Norwood Class A patterns are characterized by a predominantly front to back progression of hair loss. These patterns lack the connecting bridge across the top of the scalp and generally have more limited hair loss in the crown, even when advanced.
