Senior Member Jotronic Posted November 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2010 This local patient represents a pattern of loss that is not documented in the Norwood Hamilton hair loss chart yet is fairly common with individuals from the Middle East, parts of the Mediterranean as well as the Indian subcontinent. This pattern of loss can be as severe as a NW5A or NW6 yet much of the original juvenile hairline will remain throughout most of the patient's life. The particular patient is in his late forties and has been on Propecia for a number of years. His overall pattern, minus the still strong hairline, is somewhere around a NW5 diffuse. Dr. Wong shaved the entirety of the patient's recipient scalp so he could see between the existing hairs and match the angle and direction of the transplant hair with the native hair still present. Dr. Wong and his team transplanted 5129 grafts in one session. The goal was to fill in the areas of thinning behind the still strong hairline so that a more even amount of coverage could be achieved. The crown as well was addressed with an enhanced whorl by Dr. Wong. 5129 Grafts Singles...620 Doubles...3218 3/4...1219 The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted November 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2010 Jotronic, Thanks for sharing this case. This is a very interesting pattern of hair loss. That strong, natural hairline has certainly allowed him to end up with a very youthful appearance. David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

Senior Member RCWest Posted November 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2010 Looks magical .......awesome but 5000 grafts were too much iguess for such a hair loss case Yeah but if you want real density, not "fluff" that shows scalp with any little breeze of wind, then I say go for as many as you can. Most people want maximum density. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Regular Member Dv Posted January 12, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've seen this hairloss pattern in NY on many Indian men and always wondered what it would be considered on the Norwood scale. Fantastic work by Dr. Wong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
