Hair transplant surgery before and after result pictures with 2264 grafts

This 30 year old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 3 on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. He previously had a small FUE procedure (650 FUE’s) back in 2009 with another doctor. He came to me with the hope of rebuilding his hairline and adding density to the frontal 1/3. After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss.

He elected to go with a FUE procedure. He did understand that when doing FUE’s we will not be able to do as many grafts as with a strip procedure. I also explained that if he wanted more density after this procures we could do another session a year down the road. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. I discussed the hairline with the patient and conveyed to him that we would need to reconstruct a hairline that would be suitable for him now, but also something that will look good as he gets older.

A total of 2,264 FUEs were used. The break down was as follows: 1,171 single hair grafts, 1,056 two hair grafts and 37 three hair grafts I used significantly amount of single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. These are his results 8 months post op after his first procedure and there will continue to be more improvement over the next few months. The patient is extremely happy with his results.
