Hair restoration surgery results from 2597 grafts and Propecia on Norwood 4 patient

Procedure detail

This case is demonstrates how a single hair transplant session can produce a result that can stand the test of time, creating natural, uniform, permanent hair despite further hair loss progression in the treated area.Dr. True met this patient in 2006 after he had been thinning for about 7 years and had developed a 4/4a type pattern. As the before photos indicate, the front was extremely miniaturized and crown was showing early signs of thinning. He started on Propecia and at the same time did a strip FUT of 2597 follicular units consisting of 1134 singles and 1463 twos/threes. Presently all of his front is now transplanted. The top/crown has been fairly well stabilized with Propecia. Dr. True plans to do a second procedure to now add higher density to the frontal/top region.
