Procedure detail
This hair restoration patient is in his 40's and has type IV/V hair
loss. We started him on finasteride and performed an FUT hair transplant procedure consisting of
4,709 grafts: 1-885, 2-2028, 3-1253, 4-543; total hairs = 10,872. He had an
above average hair/graft count. The 1's and 2's were placed in the frontal scalp
and the 3's and 4's went into the crown. He is shown 15 months after surgery.
The crown could use another pass but the patient is happy with his results at
this point.
Bald class
Norwood stage 5
Occurs when the connecting bridge of hair disappears leaving a single large bald area on the front and top of the scalp. The hair on the sides of the scalp remains relatively high.
