Dr. Paul Shapiro, 2694 FU session, Norwood 3

[Dr. Paul Shapiro]

This 49 year old Pt had a Norwood 3 balding pattern with significant temporal recession but a strong frontal forelock.

2694 FU grafts were used to transplant the area. The frontal forelock was not transplanted but the central core area behind the forelock was transplanted.

The patient had a tight donor and a low donor density of 70 FU/sq.cm. This limited the amount of donor I could remove. The area was transplanted at an average of 35 FU/sq. Since the patient has coarse curly hair this density gives a good cosmetic result. These results are at 6 months and we expect to see more density in one year.

The distribution of grafts are: One hair FU-749, Two hair FU-1419, Three Hair FU-494. Four Hair FU-31.

Wow, what great density for only 6 months post op! I can't wait to see him at his 1 year mark. This procedure easily took years off the appearance of this patient and seeing this great of results in a short amount of post-operation time only indicates an uphill outcome from here. Thanks for posting, keep us updated.

Dr. Paul,

 

Thanks for sharing this impressive, natural looking result. The scar is also virtually invisible.

 

Nice work!
