He only got half his regrowth in this picture. 6 more months are needed to see the full result.Comment

You must keep in mind that,,IF you are ever a NW6 , there is a POSSIBILITY of IMPROVING your hairline by way of a qualified & sincere hair surgeon.
It is ALWAYS a matter of realistic expectations and not to UNREALISTICALLY expect a full head of hair again.
When my hair loss became pronounced, it was mostly at the back of my crown area.
I STILL HAD a DECENT framing of my hairline and that was OK with me because I stayed REALISTIC.Comment

I sometimes see the results of a doctor's aesthetic error with regards to hairlines on men in the higher Norwood range. A broad, well-defined hairline and thin coverage simply does not look natural on a Norwood 6. I have even seen that approach on a Norwood 7!
According to surveys, the majority of men prefer hair in the front when complete coverage is not an option. Imagine a timelapse headed backward in time. As a man loses hair it of course looks natural every step of the way. A skilled hair restoration physician can make your hair appear to go back in time and weight the loss more heavily toward the back if frontal improvement is your main goal. The mark of a true hair restoration master is a result that is natural to the point no one can tell even up close.

I've seen NW7 with a very well defined Brad Pitt hairline, like with hair only at the hairline up to 1 cm and behind that and the rest: cueball.
You may think "well it's not natural" after surgery but the rare cases I've witnessed, they just had that weird kind of MPB naturally.
I may go for a FUE in a few years, but I'll ask my surgeon for very low density and a NW2,5 hairline.Comment

Having hair loss on both sides of my family, I began noticing people's hair back when I was 14 years old. I remember when I was 14, seeing a mechanic at an auto repair shop that had a natural band of hair forming a low hairline and the top of his head was nearly slick. I remember thinking it looked odd. As a recipient of poor hair restoration surgery years ago, I personally prefer to avoid any kind of hair placement that draws attention. It's like, if I were to get a nose job, I wouldn't have mine modeled after Karl Malden's, unless of course I lived north of the Arctic Circle where they kiss with their noses. There, I might be regarded as a sex symbol.

Norwood 6 - Hair Restoration- at 11 Months
Dr. Cole - FUE 3605 Grafts 11 Month Result NW 6
Our patient was a Norwood Class 5 upon his first visit to our clinic. Appears closer to a Norwood 6 in the photos taken immediately before his first surgery. At this present time, he has undergone two surgeries with Dr. Cole, the first on 3/13/2013 and the second eleven months later on 2/20/2014. During his first surgery, our patient received 3605 grafts in the frontal area (see photo). In addition, ACell and PRP were administered at the time of his procedure and following his surgery. While our patient was pleased with his outcome following his first surgery, he returned for a second procedure to add grafts to his crown, an area that had not been addressed during his first procedure. Dr. Cole mentioned to me it will take around 4,000+ grafts to the crown to achieve reasonably good coverage there.
Please note that our patient has excellent scalp donor density and hair caliber. Men with less than "home run" donor characteristics can still achieve reasonable cosmetic improvement because beard hair is a viable option. We get a 90% yield with beard hair when ACell and PRP are administered during and after surgery. As mentioned in another thread, we have had great success with beard hair growth even in formerly necrotic areas where scar tissue has formed.

Here are some update photos of our NW6 patient I posted previously in this thread. He addressed his crown on 02-20-2014 with 1807 grafts and returned today, 03-12-2014 for an additional 1272 grafts. His total to date is 6679, front and back.
We will post results photos of his crown on February or March of 2015. We used ACell gel in his extraction sites and I have included a closeup photo of a random area in the back. At the very least, ACell reduces hypopigmentation. Our patient didn't get any white dotting as you can see in the photo.

Surgical artistry is just one of the needed requirements in this type of repair work for a former NW6.
Dr Bessam Farjo's patient- before and after photos :
Years earlier this man obviously had had PLUG surgery .
He must have gone through a lot of distress and agony prior to Dr Farjo's great repair work.
No, he does not have a full head of hair but if you were to ask this man directly of his satisfaction level Im sure that he would give it high marks!Comment

He looks a lot better. Most men who are repair patients (myself included) will concur, an unnatural appearing hair transplant is far worse than being really bald.Surgical artistry is just one of the needed requirements in this type of repair work for a former NW6.
