Steven Gabel MD FACS – Oregon/Washington – High Density Frontal Angles Restoration

[Steven Gabel, MD]

This female patient desired to wear her hair back; however, because of her naturally deep frontotemporal angles, she always wore her hair forward to cover them. She felt the alopecia in the frontotemporal angles gave her a masculine appearance, which she did not like. We densely transplanted 1892 grafts into the frontotemporal angles. As shown in the immediate postoperative photograph, it is vital that the grafts are oriented correctly in a lateral direction, which the hair naturally pointed in those areas. The slits are also made in a very acute manner so the hair “hugs” the scalp in the proper direction.

The postoperative photographs were taken only 6 months after the procedure. We plan to have the patient return for her 1-year visit at which time I plan to post the follow up photographs.
