2549 grafts placed in frontal hairline and crown by Dr. Alexander

[Dr. Scott Alexander MD]

Here is a patient who had a weakening hairline with recession in the temperals. We went through the existing hair, dense packed 2049 the front area to give quality hair into his good existing hair. There was mild hair loss in the crown area in which we transplanted 500 grafts in amongst his good hair wherever we found weakness. Now he has great improvement without worrying about his hair loss any longer.

Dr. Alexander, this a very natural result. It looks like you shaved the temporal region, but not for the crown. Was this your decision, or the patients? When you work around existing hairs, do you feel shock loss potential increases if the patient does not choose to shave?

[Dr. Scott Alexander MD]

It is definitely easier to transplant into areas that we shave. Unfortunately a lot of my patients prefer me not to shave. I try to accommodate them the best I can. That is why we did not shave the crown area because I was able to do those grafts well without shaving. Shaving really has nothing to do whether you are going to have shock loss or not. Shock loss is obviously going to occur more frequently between miniaturized weaker hairs. About 75% of the time you see no shock loss where the hair is strong and healthy.

Dr. Alexander,

 

Your work is always very impressive. Nice work restoring a youthful natural looking hairline and eliminating the area of baldness in his crown.

 

All the Best,

Very nice. A clean, full transformation. The patient truly has a very defined, natural new hairline. Well done Dr Alexander.
