This 26 year old gentleman came to me hopeful that I could rebuild his hairline and add more density to the frontal 1/3 of his scalp. His goal was to be able to spike his hair without friends noticing any thinning. 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. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. A total of 2,777 grafts were used. The break down was as follows: 1,753 single hair grafts, 924 two hair grafts, and 100 three hair grafts. I used significantly more single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to expose his hairline without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. More grafts were packed into the frontal 1/3 and less packed farther back into the mid zone of the scalp. These are his results 10 months post op and there will continue to be more improvement over the next few months. The patient is extremely happy with his results at this point.
