Dr Cooley 2336 grafts +PRP/ACell

[Dr. Jerry Cooley]

This patient had been on finasteride over 5 years and felt he was beginning to lose a little ground. We did PRP/ACell and performed FUT consisting of 2,336 grafts (5,819 hairs) focusing on the hairline and crown. He is shown 15 months later.

Nice work doc. Any reason why more grafts weren't put into the crown?

 

Another thousand & he would've had it locked up.

The after photos are with wet hair and the lights exaggerate the thinning as he looks thicker in real life. However, in answer to your question, we were shooting for medium coverage of the crown which is what we achieved. As the patient is in his late 30's, there is a lot of uncertainty as to future hair loss. Dense packing the crown may look better but uses up more grafts (which may be needed later elsewhere) and if further thinning occurs at the original borders of the baldspot, it will stand out more as a thin halo around a dense center. Thanks for your question.

Thanks for your thorough answer doctor.

[Cant decide]

This is as good as it gets. His hairstyle is really nice as well.

Sensible approach Dr Cooley and a really good result
