Hair restoration before and after result photos from 2952 grafts by Dr. Nakatsui

Procedure detail

This hair restoration patient came in about one year ago and wanted to fill in the vertex and frontal hairline. He had quite a large area in the vertex that was very thin in addition to milder thinning throughout the midscalp. Ideally, we would have filled in the entire area but for a number of reasons, we were limited to about 3000 grafts.

We decided to restore his hairline and thinly fill the vertex. In the future, he may return to fill in the mid scalp.

We used 967 single grafts, 1471 double grafts, and 514 big grafts, for a total count of 2952 grafts during his hair transplant surgery.

Bald class

Bald class 3V

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.
