Dr. Timothy Carman Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 This gentleman is a 54 YO male with MPHL affecting his frontal hairline, frontal forelock, midscalp and crown area. His donor area presented a challenge as his donor reserves are less than most men due to a tight scalp and low density of FU's. Average density in most men's donor is about 85-90 FU/cm2. This patient has a density of about 65-70.cm2. It is especially important in cases where donor numbers are low to not "dilute" the effect of the grafting by trying to spread the available supply over too large an area. This is a challenge when that recipient area is large. This case shows the critical need for healthy transplanted hair growth in creating a natural result, despite low donor yield. Note the typical donor scar which again, is a non-issue when keeping hair a cm or longer in the donor.

Senior Member Dr. James DeYarman Posted September 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2016 Nice result with limited number of grafts. Do you have a graft count for the three areas and what density did you transplant. Again very nice result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
