PANINE, MD - Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic - Patient Results with 3,648 Grafts

**Dr. Vladimir Panine** · December 29, 2017

This 35-year-old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 4v on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. His goal was to rebuild his hairline and add density to the frontal 1/2 of his scalp.

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.

Taking his age and hair loss into consideration we discussed his expectations and goals. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. I wanted to reconstruct a hairline that would be suitable for him as he continued to age.

A total of 3,648 grafts were used. 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 7 months post op and he will continue to get more improvement over the next 6 months. The patient is extremely happy with his result and is taking finasteride 1mg to control further hair loss.
