    59 Year Old Man | 6,617 FU Grafts

    59 year old man with type V hair loss. He was started on finasteride and on 05/17/07 he had 4, 060 FU grafts to the frontal half. On 10/31/07, he had 2, 557 FU grafts to the entire area, including the temples and crown. Although he has very fine hair, he also has excellent density and high number of 3 and 4 hair grafts, which can sometimes be interpreted as two follicular units. For a patient with a fine hair, we generally keep these together as one graft. For the patient with coarse hair, especially when doing the hairline, we may create two grafts (i.e. 1 and 2 hair grafts) instead.

    His hair counts were as follows

    grafts hairs
    1s 949 949
    2s 3065 6130
    3s 2020 6060
    4s 583 2332
