Vladimir Panine, MD - Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic - FUE Results 10 Months Post-Op

[Vladimir Panine, MD]

This 55 year old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 3v on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. 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. His goal was to rebuild his hairline so that it would be age appropriate now and as he continues to age. In addition he wanted to add more density to the frontal 1/3 of his scalp. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly.

A total of 2,508 grafts were used. The break down was as follows: 937 single hair grafts, 1,177 two hair grafts and 394 three hair graft. 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. These are his results 10 months post-op. The patient is extremely happy with his result. He does understand that he might need an addition procedure if he would like more density or does have any further hair loss down the road.
