Procedure detail
This patient is a 52-year-old gentleman who had a hair transplant 2 years ago. He had 2462 grafts placed in the crown and right fronto-temporal angle/mid-scalp region. The right fronto-temporal area was important to him as he parts his hair from right to left. He desired an age appropriate hair transplant to improve the density in crown, but also to help cover the part on the right. He was very adamant that he did not want the density of a teenager, but he wanted to improve the density in the areas as described above.
Overall the patient is extremely happy, as final results have accomplished the goals that he desired. At this point, he is continuing on medical therapy and has not plans for a transplant in the future. I have asked him to return in one year for a follow up.
Bald class
Norwood stage 3 Vertex
In terms of the receding hairline, stage 3 vertex balding is a less drastic version of stage 3.
However, people experiencing stage 3 vertex balding will also begin losing hair on the crown of their head. This often starts as one small bald spot.
