Dr. Panine - Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic - 2,716 grafts - Results at 9 Months

[Dr. Vladimir Panine]

This 62 year old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 3 on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. He previously had a procedure completed about 20 years ago by another physician and he was not very happy with his result. He did not feel that he had gained significant density from the procedure. He wanted to be able rebuild his hairline and bring his temples down slightly.

 

After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss.

 

The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs. Based on our conversations I created and discussed my plan for his surgery; taking careful consideration when reconstructing an age appropriate hairline.

 

A total of 2,716 grafts were used. The break down was as follows: 1,204 single hair grafts and 1,512 two hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units as it allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done.

 

These are his results 9 months after his procedure and there will continue to be more improvement over the next few months. The patient is extremely happy with his results.

Very nice! I would have guessed that this guy was about 35 years old...not 62! He looks pretty damn good for his age!

BadBeat I know it is hard to believe this gentleman is 62. That was one of the reasons he decided to have a hair transplant was that his receeding hairline was making him look his age. Now with his new hairline is looking about 15 years younger than his actual age.
