This 68 year old gentleman had a several procedures completed in the 80’s which were completed utilizing “plugs”. He was unhappy with the look of the “plugs”. His goal was to have a much more natural look and also fill in the mid and crown area. I determined that the work would need to be done in 2 separate procedures. During the first procedure we concentrated on softening the hairline and filling in the frontal 1/3 of the scalp. In the second session we added more to the frontal hairline and concentrated on the mid and crown area of the scalp.
During his first procedure we placed 3,290 grafts. The break down was as follows: 1,845 single hair grafts, 1,445 two hair grafts. I used a significant amount of single hair follicular units which allowed me to create a very natural hairline. This action will allow him to comb his hair without anyone detecting that he has had anything done. On his 2nd procedure we placed 3,016 grafts off which 1,536 were single hairs, 1,218 were 2 hair grafts, and 262 3 hair grafts. These are his results 2 year post-op. The patient is extremely happy with his result.
