This patient had 2015 total grafts to recreate/define the frontal hairline, and to add density evenly across the frontal forelock, posterior frontal forelock, and crown. Pt had decreased density (relative to normal) in the donor, approx 80 FU's/cm2 (normal = 100 FU's/cm2). Despite this limited number of grafts available and the large surface area (120 cm2 total), the result "turned back the clock" so as to recreate a look the patient had several years ago; thinning, but improved over preop condition. Finasteride x 2 years.
(I have updated the photos from his 6 month visit.)

That looks great! He does look to have turned back the clock for sure.

This is a remarrkable 6 month result. I can't wait to see more!

Yes big improvement especially for 6 months. Keep up the good work

Dr. Carman,

Though the photos are blurry like you pointed out, there is a clear difference and big improvement after only 6 months.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Best wishes,

Bill

Have updated this case with one year "Grown Out" photos. Patient is very happy with the results, as we are.

And incidentally, we operated on this patient yesterday(his second procedure): 2104 FU grafts, (250 DFU's)- to create additional density.
