Dr. Timothy Carman Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Patient is a gentleman in his early fifties who experienced a gradual thinning of the posterior frontal forelock and midscalp over the last 25 years to the point where he refers to this area as the "barren wasteland" behind "this little mountain" (referring to the retained anterior frontal forelock seen). We placed a total of 2375 FU grafts as follows: Ones: 800; Twos: 1434; Threes: 141. Note how we choose to recreate a new hairline just slightly in front of his current one: this is done so that, as he loses that hair over time, he doesn't develop a central defect which would certainly be quite noticeable. Here, at 5 months post op, he has about 50% of his grafts grown in.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted April 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2012 Dr. Carman, Thanks for sharing this case. In terms of balding patterns, I think that this scenario is probably the worst for a guy to deal with. He looks loads better already with lots more to come. He must be very happy.
