Procedure detail
This hair restoration patient wanted to fill in his temples quite a
bit and effectively wanted to square off his frontal hairline. In many patients
I am reluctant to do this too aggressively as we cannot always predict the
extent of future hair loss. However, this patient presented in his early 40s
with fairly localized, defined areas of hair loss with absolutely no weakness of
the hair elsewhere. As a result, I felt his chances of future aggressive
thinning was low and I decided to fill in his temples as he
desired.
We transplanted 449 single grafts, 861
double grafts, and 693 big grafts, for a total count of 2003 grafts into his
temples. His after photos show his hair growth after 6 months. His newly
transplanted hair has already grown quite a bit, although we can definitely
expect more growth over the next 6-8 months.
As many of you are aware, the new hair often grows in a bit coarser
and wavier than usual, but this usually settles over time. I think there is a
small area of weakness that has yet to grow in well yet along the right frontal
hairline, but there are still many months to go and this hair should eventually
wake up.
Bald class
Norwood stage 2
There is a slight recession of the hairline around the temples. This is also known as an adult or mature hairline.
