Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted July 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2012 This 49 year-old man had a Norwood 3 pattern with thinning temporal points. He had average diameter, mostly straight, salt-and-pepper hair with average scalp laxity and good donor density. He had more hairs per follicular unit than usual. As he had a relatively small area of hair loss, a great supply of donor hair, and he was unlikely to ever become extremely bald, it was reasonable to restore his hairline and temporal points. We planned to transplant about 2100 grafts in his frontal hairline and 900 in his temporal hairlines and temporal points. We transplanted 3219 grafts. We needed a lot of 1s and 2s to create a soft transition zone and had to split about 400 3s and 4s to get enough 1s and 2s. By sampling, he had about 911 ones, 1063 twos, 589 threes, and 656 fours. He had 28% 1s, 34% 2s, 18% 3s, and 20% 4s and still averaged 2.3 hairs per graft. These photos were taken 13 months after his hair transplant and are shown with his written consent. At his follow-up visit he said “I am very happy. Nobody knows … not even my Mom.” ( … until now.)

Senior Member chrisdav Posted July 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2012 Great work doc. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 21, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2012 What a terrific result. Love the temple points. Funny how you can see the color change from brown to grey at the temple points in the profile pictures. His donor hair must not have turned grey yet like his sides.

Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted August 14, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2012 What a terrific result. Love the temple points. Funny how you can see the color change from brown to grey at the temple points in the profile pictures. His donor hair must not have turned grey yet like his sides. Thanks aaron1234 I use the hair from the sides of the head for temporal points and the front of the hairline. In his before photos, his hair was grey in his natural temporal hairlines but not as grey above his ears. Men often grey in their temples first then progress to the sides and hairline but there is a salt-and-pepper effect. There are a few grey hairs in his temporal points now but not as many as before. His hair direction also lets the transplanted hair drape over the grey hair that was there before. As his hair continues to grey, his temporal points will grey again before the hair on the back of his head ... unless he likes brown temporal points and chooses to dye them!
