Dr. Vladimir Panine Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) This 25 year old was a class 3 going into a class 4. 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. I explained to him that we need to take his age, present degree of hair loss and possible further hair loss into consideration when creating a surgical plan. I explained that it would be best to create a conservative hairline that will look good for him at 25 and also look good as he ages. It was also pointed out that with one procedure I would be able to add more coverage through the frontal 1/3 to ? of his scalp. I also explained that there was a possibility that he could lose more of his own hair. If that was to happen, the transplanted hair would be able to stand alone and still look natural, but he would need another procedure to bring it back to the way it looks now. I was able to harvest 3,688 grafts. The break down was as follows: 1,419 single hair grafts, 2,068 two hair grafts and 201 3 hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units which 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 1 year post-op. The patient is extremely happy with his results.
