PANINE, MD | Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic - Hair Restoration Surgery - 4,300 Grafts

[Vladimir Panine, MD]

This 31-year-old gentleman had a hair loss pattern similar to a class 4v on the Hamilton Norwood hair loss scale. His goal was to rebuild his hairline and add density to the frontal ½ and get some grafts into his crown. Taking his age and hair loss into consideration we came upon an agreement for what would suite his expectations.

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. The patient’s goal was well suited to his needs and therefore I planned the surgery accordingly. I wanted to reconstruct a hairline that would be suitable for him as he continued to age.

A total of 4,300 grafts were used with the FUT procedure. 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 4,8,12 and 24 months post-op. Patient is presently on Finasteride to try and stop further hair loss.
