4500 DHT/FUE grafts, NW 3/4 at 6 years, Drs Sethi/Bansal

[Pradeep Sethi, MD]

Progressive baldness of the mid-30s is difficult to negotiate for two reasons;

1) Baldness is dynamic and we don’t know what the final stage is going to be.

2) The expectations of these young patients are high and they press for a lower hairline.

In the current case, we tried initially to keep the hairline up in the first sitting. Somehow he was under peer pressure and wanted a lower hairline. Once he got a good result in the first go, he felt he could lower the hairline a bit.

With such discussions, we agreed to lower the hairline by 1-1.5 CM and do some temple job. We did close to 1500 grafts for the second sitting, after 3 years of the first sitting. The hairline consumed 500 single follicle grafts. The outcome after 1 year of the first sitting (4 years of the second sitting) was great.

Unfortunately, he is not willing to take Finasteride and we are chasing his baldness! He has a gene of extreme grade 7 baldness. Now we are prepared to do his crown as well.



Message:

If at a young age, the baldness is progressing, then Finasteride has to be taken. Even the planted hair gets affected by baldness, in these young age people.
