Central frontal circular spot of hairloss

This case shows both the preop and one year post op photos of a gentleman who underwent a single pass of ultra-refined follicular unit micrografts. Just over 1500 grafts were produced from a 17 sq cm donor harvest followed by trichophytic closure. In addition, patient is using low dose finasteride & rogaine to combat future loss.
While a very straight forward case with excellent results one of the more interesting things to be seen in his pre op photos. He represents a Norwood pattern 3A who has retained a bilateral frontal forelock. I enjoy these cases as that central frontal circular spot of hairloss is for many the most important cosmetic location to have hair.

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.
