Senior Member Dr. Michael Beehner Posted January 5, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2011 This 25 y/o came to me a few years ago and had a frontal-midscalp forelock type of pattern used to create his hair transplant. He had extensive baldness for his age, and my fear was that he may some day be a Norwood VII stage, so I was conservative. He returned a few months ago for his second session and these photos were taken at that time. 1481 grafts in total were placed, made up of 1131 FU's and 350 DFU's/TFU's for a total of 4409 hairs. He was quite happy with the improvement up to that point and the fact that his face was now framed with hair. He had very fine hair, which did not have a lot of "body" to it.

Senior Member RCWest Posted January 5, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2011 This is quite a nice improvement for a small session. In fact, VERY nice from what he started with. You always do amazing work, Dr. Beehner! I also like your uses of MFU's in other cases, for density reasons and to actually save the patient a few bucks. 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?

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted January 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2011 Dr. Beehner, Thank you for sharing this case with the community. The transformation is quite impressive, and I agree that this patient has greatly benefited from the procedure. I especially like the way you've created the appearance of density and framed the face with so few follicular unit grafts. He looks 15 years younger! Nicely done.
