Pre-op photos only: 2500 grafts were done mostly in the temple areas and some in the mid scalp. The progress of hair growth will be posted later.

I wanted to post a little more information about this patient. He is a Class 3V on the Norwood scale of hair loss. His concern was mostly his temporal regions. We decided to do the frontal hairline, temples, and fill in the thinning area in the midfront area. To get a natural hairline we did 530 ones, 1100 twos, in the frontal hairline and temples. To get density in the midfront areas, we did 650 threes and 330 fours. For closure we used the trichophytic techniques, so if he decides to keep his hair short he could.

Great job! Nice and clean. With that many 3's and 4's, did you use multiple follicular units?

[Dr. Michael Meshkin]

Thank you for the compliment. Yes they came in their natural units and he had alot of them... His hair was very dense and packed together.

Dr. Meshkin,

 

Thanks for posting this case. I agree that the work looks very clean and refined. I hope you'll continue to update us on this patient's progress.

 

All the best,

[Dr. Michael Meshkin]

Thanks David. I will post pictures as his hair growth progresses.
