You DON'T need thousands of grafts to implement meaningful change

I wanted to present a case that made a dramatic improvement in a man’s life even though his hair loss was minimal and the grafts required small. The case presented is one of a Norwood pattern II-III with asymmetric (R>L) temporal recessions. He underwent 750 ultra-refined follicular unit micrografts, placed 60-65% of these in the right temporal recession and the remaining 35-40% in to the left. He was finally able to make it into the office for follow up photos showing his final results from one pass of micrografts. He has done quite well and shows zero loss behind the grafted zone and is extremely pleased by the change made. So while many would feel his loss to be minor, to him it was very disconcerting and the results achieved improved his quality of life.
