Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) This patient has the vertex pattern of MPB where the frontal hairline is generally preserved over time. Thinning starts at the top and spreads outward over time. He had started finasteride a year previously with stablization of the loss. We performed FUT 3,342 grafts. He is shown 11 months post op, with overall great improvement. Depending on lighting, there is still some scalp showing through, but under most conditions its not really noticeable.

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2015 Fantastic work ! This fellow has had a massive improvement from his pre op. Will he have another pass to add more density to his mid scalp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. The patient is 90% happy with it and plans to let some time go by. The crown can be a black hole for grafts so I recommended he wait another 6 months and see how he feels about it then. Some camouflaging fibers like Toppik can make a big difference here.

Senior Member haircut Posted June 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2015 Dr. Cooley, Your patient might also consider SMP. It has made a huge difference in my crown area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
