Dr. Cam Simmons - 2520 grafts for a Norwood 4A balding to 5A thinning patient. Respectable but not maximum density.

[Cam Simmons MD ABHRS]

This 27 year-old man had balding in front and thinning in a Norwood 5A pattern but had a residual thin midfrontal forelock that came lower than a recommended level for a transplanted hairline.

Coverage was more important for him than density and budget was a concern. Most of the area was transplanted at 42 grafts per square cm but we used 56 per square cm in his midfrontal forelock and 49 just behind his hairline. We could have easily transplanted 3000 grafts in the same area at higher density but that would have used up more donor hair (and money) in front.

He started Proscar and Minoxidil at the time of his hair transplant and will likely see the full benefits next year. He knows he does not have the thickest hair transplant in the world but he is happy that he no longer has to keep his hair so short and that his transplanted hair blends well with his natural hair.
