Dr. Arocha, 3200 Grafts, Strip at 13 Months

[ArochaHair]

Today we'd like to present a very straightforward case for your review. This mid-forties Caucasian male presented with NW5 androgenic alopecia. The assessment was that he was likely to progress to a NW6 as evidenced by the diffused loss in the "bridge" of his vertex and parietal humps.

 

Dr. Arocha and the patient discussed the options available and the patient decided on follicular unit strip surgery. Dr. Arocha and the team harvested 3200 follicular units in one procedure with the goal being facial framing and general coverage for the front of the scalp. The majority of the grafts were placed in the frontal 1/3 and then extended into the vertex for proper and natural blending.

 

The results shown are at 13 months after the procedure.

Dr. Arocha,

 

This looks like a nice result, thanks for posting. It would also be helpful if you could present a video if you have it with the hair being combed. It's a little bit difficult to appreciate the result with a hairstyle that way because due to the feathering of fact, we can't really see the density on either side. It almost looks like a comb-over a fact although it's obvious that it's not a full comb-over because there is definitely new hair there. But to truly appreciate the result, it would be great if we could see some pictures with the hairstyle differently or a video that shows the comb going through the hair.

 

Just a thought,

 

Bill
