Before and after photos of hair transplant surgery with an African American with 3168 grafts

Procedure detail

This hair restoration patient has type Norwood Class IV A hair loss and had a history of older minigrafts about 10 years ago. We performed 3,168 FU's (6,177 hairs) during his hair transplant procedure. He came in for a 6 month check and showed good growth. This should continue to thicken up over the next 6 months. Some patients show slower growth but end up with excellent results as well so I try to get patients not to worry too much if they are "late bloomers". The photo taken immediately after the graft placement shows a purplish color because of the dye we sometimes use in darker skinned patients to stain the sites.

Bald class

Bald class 4A

Norwood stage 4A

In stage 4A, a person will not experience a bald spot on the back of their head, but they will instead lose the dips in their hairline and have a deeper ā€œUā€ shape when viewed from above.
