Procedure detail
A 29 yr old male presented with class IV (vertex) Androgenetic Alopecia. He had
used oral Finasteride for 18 months, but did not find significant improvement.
He then opted for hair transplant surgery. Patient expressed concern about not
being able to comb over ,and the thinning crown was bringing down his confidence
levels at work. Despite explaining the probability of progressive crown thinning
( as he found Finasteride not useful) he would not opt to leave out the crown.

were added to the crown at an average of 20% density. The patient expressed
great satisfaction during his visit, 10 months after the procedure. Was
