Dr Cooley 3481 grafts African American

[Jerry Cooley, MD]

This man is in his mid 30's and already has type VI hair loss. We performed FUT of 3481 grafts (1-981, 2-2074, 3-426 = 6407 hairs)) providing medium coverage to the front and light coverage to the crown. We plan to do a second procedure to add more density to the crown. He is shown one year post op. He was using an interesting styling trick when he returned, where he took braided hair from the back and sides and pulled the braids over the front of his scalp. This gave an appearance of a nearly full head of hair, but I did discuss my concerns over traction alopecia.
