This 34 year old gentleman came to me hopeful that we could rebuild his hairline and give him as much density and coverage as possible. After establishing his medical history and understanding the progression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatological or medical conditions which can cause hair loss. I explained to him that we needed to take his age, present degree of hair loss and possible further hair loss into consideration when designing a hairline as it would be best to create a conservative hairline that will look good for him at 34 and also look good as he ages. It was also pointed out that, with one procedure, I would be able to add more coverage through the frontal 1/3 to 1/2 of his scalp but that if he wanted more coverage than that we would need a 2nd procedure.

I was able to harvest 4,116 grafts. The break down was as follows: 1,578 single hair grafts, 2,173 two hair grafts and 365 three hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. These are his result 8 months post-op. The patient is extremely happy with his result and mentioned that he has received many positive comments about his hair.
