Procedure detail
This case is a bit more mild than what one usually sees out of our clinic. This hair restoration patient first came to see us in 2009. He wanted his hairline slightly lowered in the corners and the front of his scalp thickened. 4298 grafts were used in one procedure to accomplish his goals.
Ten months later he came back in and had a second procedure to rebuild his temple points, just slightly lower the hairline a bit more, and to thicken the crown. 2272 grafts were used to accomplish his goals.
The result seen is 2.5 years post-op and I have put together a series of photos showing each stage of his progression. In each photo set the top left image is before any surgery and the top right image is ten months after. The bottom left image is the second procedure 3 days post-op and the bottom right is the final result as of last month.
This case represents just another example of how the lateral slit technique, when performed properly with custom cut flat blades, allows for a large number of grafts to be safely placed in between existing native hairs thus avoiding permanent shock loss.
