Dr. Panine - Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic - 4,658 grafts - 1 Year Post-Op Results

[Vladimir Panine, MD]

This 49 year old gentleman had a hairloss pattern similar to a class 4 going into a class 5 on the Hamilton Norwoodhair loss scale. After establishing his medical history and understanding theprogression of his hair loss, I diagnosed his condition as AndrogeneticAlopecia (male pattern baldness), ruling out any other possible dermatologicalor medical conditions which can cause hair loss. His goal was to rebuild aconservative hairline that would be age appropriate now and as he ages. Inaddition, he wanted to add as much hair to the frontal ½ as possible in oneprocedure. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore Iplanned the surgery accordingly.

A total of 4,658 grafts were used. Thebreak down was as follows: 1,932 single hair grafts, 2,577 two hair grafts and149 three hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single hair follicularunits which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action willallow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anythingdone. These are his results 1 year post op. The patient is extremely happy with his result. He does understand that he might need anaddition procedure if he would like more density or does have any further hairloss down the road.
