Dr. Cam Simmons – 12 months after 3219 grafts in front

[Cam Simmons MD ABHRS]

This 28-year-old man had a Norwood 6 thinning pattern with a low thinning forelock. He had average diameter, black, straight hair with average donor density and flexibility. His goal was to achieve a finished look in front then to return to transplant his midscalp in a second session.

 

We transplanted 3219 grafts from a conservative hairline. We keep an accurate total graft count but do sample counts to estimate the graft ratios. His calculated ratios were 22% ones, 44% twos, 28% threes, and 6% fours. His breakdown would therefore be about 721 ones, 1399 twos, 896 threes, and 203 fours.

 

When his schedule allows we will transplant his midscalp. As he is still just 29, it is not possible to predict how much lateral recession he might develop in the future. We will therefore reserve some donor hair in case he later develops a gap between his transplanted and natural hair on the sides.

 

For now, he is happy with his hair in front.

Nice job.

Great job as usual, Dr. Simmons! From his estimated graft breakdown, it sounds as if he has had over 7000 hairs, which is above average density. You have made a huge difference in his life! This is an excellent result doc!
