Dr. Panine - Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic - 11 Months Post-Op / 3,616 grafts

[Vladimir Panine, MD]

This patient is a 45 year old gentleman that came into our office with two goals in mind; to reconstruct his receding temple areas and fill in his crown. 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. After understanding the patient’s concerns, I discussed several options with him on how we could reconstruct his hairline and fill in his crown. Since the patient was 45, and he had responded well to Propecia over the last few years, we agreed on a slightly more aggressive approach with his hairline. We placed 3,616 grafts, which were a combination of 1, 2, and 3 hair follicular units. These are his results 11 months after surgery. He is extremely happy with his results.

Very good result. Hairline looks very natural. Do you know what density was placed in the hairline?

[Vladimir Panine, MD]

In order to achieve a natural hairline with good density it took approximately 45-50 follicular units cm2. Thank you for the nice compliment.

Nice work Dr Panine, one of the better transplants I've seen, very natural, scar pretty much non-existent.
