Hairline and Crown follicular unit transplantation on Norwood Class IV

Patient was a class IV. He had 2 surgical restoration sessions 13 months apart. Initially he was placed on Propecia for 6 months prior to the start of his first session.

Zone I was done to augment his isolated forelock and re-establish his hairline to Zone II. The second session a TET was done and FUT to Zones I & III (posterior vertex).

Patient was happy with first session and then decided he did want a second session to address his back area once he realized he stabilized with Propecia. About 20% was added to the first session to increase densities and the remaining were placed posterior to give patient a see-through look vs. the bald spot he had.

First Session: 2550 hairs

388 ??“ 1's

895 ??“ 2's

95 ??“ Multi-unit grafts

Second Session: 3343 hairs

327 ??“ 1's

998 ??“ 2's

255 ??“ Multi-unit grafts

Seems like a good result but more definative comments with each picture would be welcomed. It is unobvious at which phase each photograph is!

Looks good Dr. G. Nice seeing the hair counts for each section.

Dr. Gencheff,

 

I appreciate that your surgical descriptions are detailed and that you provide hair count breakdowns. Thanks for being so thorough.

 

I also think this is a very nice result. I would however, love to see you start taking more consistent before and after photos against a light colored background. I think this will help give patients a better idea of the high quality of work you regularly perform at your clinic.

 

All the Best,

 

Bill
