Dr. Raymond Konior Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) This patient presented with a history of having undergone hairline restoration using outdated plug transplantation. For years he had been dissatisfied with the harsh appearance of his pluggy hairline. His surgeon attempted to refine the hairline with a session of single hair grafts that were placed in front of the plugs, but the patient continued to be bothered by an abrupt hairline and an unnatural pluggy appearance throughout the original graft zone. His hairline repair in my office consisted of approximately 2500 grafts which were placed with the intention of softening the pluggy appearance along the hairline and in the central plug zone.

Dr. Raymond Konior Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 fortune11 – He does have donor left but the recommendation is to delay any additional surgery until there is a clear need. empirestate – The restoration was performed using strip harvesting. The harvest plan was designed to use old scars so as to maintain the appearance of his donor area. KO – Selective debulking using FUE helped to soften the frontal appearance. Gram – I don’t have photos which show much difference than what is seen here. Thanks to all for your positive comments.
