Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration Patient IKZ had a series of four hair transplant procedures using mini-grafts from 2005 to 2001. The repair consisted of removing the 48 largest grafts and redistributing them as individual follicular units. Eight weeks later, he had a hair transplant using 791 follicular unit grafts, obtained from a donor strip, that added fullness to the front part of his scalp.

Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration Patient ACQ has medium weight, wiry, light brown hair with advanced Norwood Class 6 hair loss. Results following three hair transplant sessions totaling 5,966 follicular unit grafts. Click the thumbnails below for a larger view. Before / After: Left: Before Hair Transplant Right: After 3rd Hair Transplant Session Detail of Hairline: Patient ACQ was interested in a very dense dramatic look that was accomplished in three sessions of 2,461, 2,054 and 1,451 follicular unit grafts. Note the position and shape of the hairline and the appearance after three sessions. Left: Hairline Position Marked Right: After 3rd Hair Transplant Session Top View of Hair Restoration: In long-standing baldness, with the follicles gone, the scalp’s rich blood supply begins to diminish. Sun damage also damages the scalp’s connective tissue and alters the blood supply. Because of this, we prefer to transplant large, but not excessive numbers of grafts in the first session, in order to maximize growth. Once the first transplant is performed, the rich blood supply returns to the scalp and additional grafts may be supported.

I transplanted this patient on March 7, 2000 (over 11 years ago) when we were using fewer grafts. I have been posting patient on the net since 1995 so a fair number of cases were done years ago. I would judge these cases by their naturalness. I agree, if transplanted today, I would have used significantly more follicular unit grafts - perhaps double this number. That said, in my opinion, it is generally a mistake to value a transplant on the absolute number of grafts - with more being better than less. The "art" is to get the best cosmetic improvement while conserving the most donor hair for the future, particularly in a patient with limited hair loss. With well placed/positioned grafts and a high percentage of graft survival, sessions of 3,000 and up are often not needed and the more "conservative" proceedure has a lower risk of significant donor scarring, better graft survival and, of course, conserves hair for the future. Sincerely, Dr. Bernstein

Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration patient VSQ had multiple hair transplant procedures that left him with a frontal rim of plugs and marked central baldness that was difficult to camouflage, even with a comb-over. In addition, he had scarring at his frontal hairline and a substantially depleted donor supply. Four repair procedures were performed to remove the large grafts and redistribute them as individual follicular units in the front and mid-part of his scalp. In the fifth procedure, we transplanted an additional 1,184 follicular units from the donor area into the front and mid-portion of his scalp. Click the thumbnails below for a larger view. Before / After: Left: Before Hair Transplant Repair Right: After Five Repair Sessions Top View: Although VSQ still relies on combed over hair to add fullness to the top part of his scalp, note the natural appearance of the restoration.

Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration patient JIH had 4 scalp reductions that resulted in a significant Y-shaped deformity on the top of his head, a partially depleted donor supply, and a tight scalp. This makes future hair transplantation procedures difficult by limiting the total number of grafts that can be transplanted. The “After” photo shows the results of one hair transplant session of 1,825 follicular unit grafts. A second procedure is planned to add more density. See thumbnails for a view of the top of JIH’s scalp. Click the thumbnails below for a larger view. Before / After: Left: Before Hair Transplant Repair Right: After One Repair Session Scalp Reduction Scars and Camouflage: Four scalp reductions leave significant scarring on the top of the scalp in a geometric pattern and altered hair direction. This is camouflaged with the transplantation of 1,825 follicular unit grafts that are integrated with the existing hair. The density of the area will be increased in a future procedure.
