This 39 y/o male presented to us several years ago with basically an advanced Norwood VI pattern (bordering on a Norwood VII). We told him a reasonable goal would be to fill in the midscalp and frontal regions and leave the vertex (crown) in the back bald, as there was such a large square area that was balding.
Over the next few years he had three larger sessions and a three additional tiny "touch-up" sessions in specific areas, for a total of 6676 grafts (5371 FU's and 1005 DFU's). The caliber of his hair is "fine."
Views are shown before and after of the rear vertex view. We actually did later place around 800-900 1-2 hair FU's in there to create a little "fine" cover, but you can tell from the photos that that many FU's doesn't create that dense of a cover in such a large area.
I also apologize for the excessive red tint on a couple of the photos, as we were still adjusting our "white balance" on the then new digital camera.

Looks pretty good but if he has had 3 large HT's as well as 3 "tiny touch ups" then i wanna' see the back of his head nowadays.

That's a lot of damn work and waiting and moolah for hair but it does look better.
