Once again beautiful work and presentation, please may I ask with the patient being only on minoxidil and not finasteride was the doctor confident that this man will keep the existing native hair in his bridge area between the front and the vertex ? We're measures taken to allow for if this patient looses the bridge area ? And will he be able to cover future loss even after he has potentially 2000 grafts in the vertex ? Very interested in how a plan is made to keep things looking natural even if further loss occurs later in life ? Thanks

I also think he should be on fin.

 

But i'm guessing what happened is that he tried it out and got side effects. So he just decided to take the shot and get a HT regardless

Hi wibbles180,

 

Thanks for your appreciation and for your queries.

 

At the moment of the pre-operative consultation Dr. Lupanzula suggested the patient to start a Finasteride treatment, but the patient refused for personal reasons. Consequently, he was informed that this choice could result in the need of additional surgeries in the future, given that the Doctor could already foresee a loss in the vertex area. The patient eventually accepted this approach, also considering that his donor capacity was assessed as approximately 7500 FUs, amount that guarantees the resources for a future coverage of the vertex and of the mid-scalp too if needed.

 

Sincerely,

[wibbles180]

Thanks for your reply , just goes to show how being conservative in the placement of the hairline is the way to go especially if future loss is obviously apparent . Thanks again , keep the results coming
