A total of 2807 follicular unit grafts, utilizing 6265 hairs were transplanted. Both temples were restored with 125 (2 hair) FU grafts on left side and 125 (2 hair) FU grafts on right side.The hair transplant patient was followed at 8 months postoperative from his procedure with significant hair growth and cosmetic improvement.
