Procedure detail
This patient is a 65-year-old gentleman who in 2005 had 2542 grafts placed into
the frontal, mid-scalp/anterior crown region. Between 2005 and 2012, he had some
more thinning of the native hairs and we added another 2409 grafts to the
frontal and mid-scalp region, but this transplant, we added a good number of
grafts into the crown. He is now 1 year out from his second transplant and is
extremely happy with the result.
In 2005, I did not take the extensive
preoperative and postoperative photographs that I now take so there are only a
few direct comparisons for photographs. The gray/blond hair mixed with a few
black hairs gives him a very natural appearance for his age and overall his
goals were accomplished with the type of hair he has.
Bald class
Norwood stage 5A
In stage 5A, the hairline continues to progress toward the back of the head.
