Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted January 7 Senior Member Share Posted January 7 i sometimes see after/before results where the doctor labels the patient as norwood 6 when i think its norwood 7 and vice versa the norwood scales always only show the patient from the top and thr front but never from the back so i wonder what the difference is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being well versed in hair loss that difference to the eye is minimal. But in hair restoration terms it can be significant as you’re already working with a high NW so every graft is important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ScottishGuy21 Posted January 7 Regular Member Share Posted January 7 Yes definitely a NW7 crown but high humps The Nw scale as discussed in another thread is outdated these days. Pittella has has come up with his own more complex scale which obviously works well for his planning and ultimately his patients. Pic below is what is the standard NW 6/7 difference but as your pic proves things can vary greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
