Procedure detail
This patient was a Norwood 6 who aready had a surgery with the technique less is
more to fill the top. For his treatment, we brought up the possibility of using
body hairs as an alternative source of hair donor because the aim of the patient
was to lower his hair line.
Then the patient asked us if we could also
transplant his beard on a patchy spot in his cheek that was bothering him.We
told him it was possible as it was a transfer in the same area (here beard to
beard) as we do in hair transplant (scalp hairs to scalp hairs).
The
interesting report we had from this patient was that beard hairs didn't shed in
the post op as we observed in scalp hairs. We need to compare with others
patients' experience to see if this is an exception or the rule!
And 2 years
and 8 months later the patient kept the same benefits as showed in the following
pictures
Bald class
