Patient came in had recently gone thru a divorce and was wanting to feel better. He want to feel more youthful. We told the patient what he could expect from 2,500 grafts. We ended up getting 2514 grafts. We placed 951 single hairs in the anterior hairline bilaterally. 1563 follicular units were placed to the back vertex. Patient is thrilled with the results!

Carly,

 

Thank you for sharing this case. However, I do have a few questions:

 

Is this patient on any sort of preventive medicine (Rogaine/Propecia)?

 

Second, is this gentleman planning on undergoing any additional work at your clinic? While the results do look refined and natural, I think the density is a bit conservative, and I'm curious as to whether or not he would like a undergo a second procedure to add additional thickness?

 

Third, how many months post-operative is the patient?

 

Thanks!

While he could go for more, it does look very natural and suits him. If he is happy, I would consider this a very successful cosmetic surgery.

I agree, Now that he is at one year he is looking at getting his second surgery to get fuller look. He looks great for one surgery!

Hi There,

 

Patient is on Propecia.

He is planning on getting a 2nd procedure to get more density. What we tell patients to expect is in an area that you have no hair expect after one surgery to look like you are thinning. After 2 surgeries you should have the density you are seeking in the frontal area.

The pictures are exactly one year apart.

I think the work looks good, especially given the patient's hair characteristics. It is age appropriate and as Carly mentioned, now looks like a guy thinning instead of a bald guy. One more surgery and he'll be all good.
