Senior Member Louise Posted November 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2010 This 29 year old patient became more concerned about his hair loss after a recent trip back home to India. He says that hair has great social importance in India and the reaction from his family and friends compelled him to do something about his hair loss. He mostly had a NW 3V thinning pattern but had early thinning in a NW 6 pattern. His hair was black and average in diameter. He did not have miniaturization in the donor area but the donor density on the sides was low. This patient accepted that he had the potential to lose more hair and that he may require further hair transplantation in the future. In the meantime, he is taking Finasteride to maintain his natural hair. His lower donor density limited us to 2472 FUG. We spread the grafts out at a light density of 30 grafts per square cm over his midscalp. He should be able to finish the front in one session if he goes on to lose that hair later. We will not transplant his crown for many years so we can be sure that he will have enough scalp donor hair for the front and sides, if he needs it. He is very happy with his hair and is joyfully planning his upcoming wedding. These photos were taken 11 months post-op.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted November 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2010 Louise, Thanks for posting this patient's results. Dr. Simmons did an amazing job creating an illusion of density for him considering the number of grafts he was able to harvest. I'm glad to hear the patient is also taking finasteride to stabilize his hair loss. I'm sure he is going to be grinning from ear to ear in his wedding photos!

Senior Member RCWest Posted November 24, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Dr. Simmons always makes the best use of a small session. Not many doctors could get that kind of coverage to look that dense in one pass of 2472 grafts. Outstanding!!
