Hairline and Crown follicular unit transplantation on Norwood Class IV

Patient was a class IV. He had 2 surgical restoration sessions 13 months apart. Initially he was placed on Propecia for 6 months prior to the start of his first session.

Zone I was done to augment his isolated forelock and re-establish his hairline to Zone II. The second session a TET was done and FUT to Zones I & III (posterior vertex).

Patient was happy with first session and then decided he did want a second session to address his back area once he realized he stabilized with Propecia. About 20% was added to the first session to increase densities and the remaining were placed posterior to give patient a see-through look vs. the bald spot he had.

First Session: 2550 hairs
388 ??“ 1's
895 ??“ 2's
95 ??“ Multi-unit grafts

Second Session: 3343 hairs
327 ??“ 1's
998 ??“ 2's
255 ??“ Multi-unit grafts

Seems like a good result but more definative comments with each picture would be welcomed. It is unobvious at which phase each photograph is!

Dr. Gencheff,

I appreciate that your surgical descriptions are detailed and that you provide hair count breakdowns. Thanks for being so thorough.

I also think this is a very nice result. I would however, love to see you start taking more consistent before and after photos against a light colored background. I think this will help give patients a better idea of the high quality of work you regularly perform at your clinic.

All the Best,

Bill
