Dr. Nakatsui, female pattern hair loss, 1319 grafts

[Dr. Thomas Nakatsui]

We are seeing more and more female patients all the time. I tend to keep sessions smaller in women, usually no more than about 1200-1300 grafts to try to keep down the risk of shock loss, which is much more common in women than in men.

 

She received 305 single grafts, 664 double grafts, and 350 big grafts, for a total count of 1319 grafts. Her results are about 11 months after her surgery. She was very happy as she no longer worried about the wind blowing apart her carefully combed hair.

While I HATE hair loss for men, I REALLY hate it when women have to suffer it. This is a good result for the number of grafts.

Great job, nice one doctor. Great to see cases like this

RCWest and Dutch,

 

Thanks for the responses. In general, women are more concerned than men about their hair loss, as it is more socially acceptable to see a balding man than a balding woman. Over the last 12 years in my practice, I have definitely seen a significant increase in the number of women getting hair transplants, although men still account for the majority of my patients by far.

 

Thanks again,

Dr N
