[Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich]

A 52-year-old Caucasian male, Norwood IV with hair loss from the front and thining hair at crown and miniaturized hairs at the forelock and top. He wanted to transplant at front and crown. He didn’t want to take either finasteride nor minoxidil solution pre and post-op. The total bald area measured 67cm2 at front and 31 cm2 at crown.

The ultra refined follicular unit grafting was done with strip technique and trichophytic closure.

The detail of the hair transplantation is as follows:

Frontal area: 1 hair: 329 FU grafts, 2 hair: 2030 FU grafts, 3 hair: 664 FU grafts and 4-5 hairs: 91 FU grafts.

Crown area: 2 hair: 450 FU grafts, 3 hair: 150 FU grafts. A total of 600 follicular unit grafts.

A total of 3,514 follicular unit grafts consisting of 7,590 hairs.

The patient was followed at 1year post operative with good growth and significant cosmetic improvement. His donor area has minimal scar as shown in the photographs.
