Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) For several years, this patient has noticed a gradual thinning and decline of her frontal hairline. She felt that it was thinning to the point where she was unable to style it to her liking and always had to brush it forward to hide her hairline. It became very frustrating to her and ultimately she was self conscious about it. We designed a female pattern hairline by following her current hairline and lowering it to make a very natural female hairline. 2234 grafts were placed into the frontal hairline and immediately behind it to connect to her native hairline. Over 750 single haired grafts were placed just in the immediate 1 - 2 centimeters and the rest of the grafts were used to connect the new hairline to her native hairline. Close up photographs show the density of the frontal hairline around 60 FU/sq. cm. Once the grafts were placed, I surveyed the entire transplanted region, especially the frontal hairline, and additional grafts were placed in any spaces that could accommodate the hair. Photographs were submitted with similar orientations showing the timeline for the restoration process: immediately after surgery, 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year following the hair transplant procedure. A video demonstrates the 1 year result at approximately 85% growth; we expect the transplanted hairs to mature and thicken up over the next year of growth.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted September 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2012 Great work doc as usual. 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...
