Case Study #2 -Norwood Class 6

Case #2- Total Increased Density: 35%
One Surgery:		Hair Regrowth Medication: Yes
Coverage Area:	60 cm2
Donor Area:	23 cm2
Density:	35%
Graft Number:	1510 grafts

We added 30% density to zone 1,2,3,4.

For zone 5,6, we recommend the patient to use the FDA approved oral medication, Finasteride (Propecia) to slow down his hait loss progress and maybe grow some new hair for his vertex area.

Case Study#1 -Norwood Class 7

Case #1- Total Increased Density: 30%
One Surgery:		Hair Regrowth Medication: Yes
Coverage Area:	88 cm2
Donor Area:	28 cm2
Density:	30%
Graft Number:	1690 grafts

We added 30% density to zone 1,2,3,4.

For zone 5,6,7, we recommend the patient to use the FDA approved oral medication, Finasteride (Propecia) to slow down his hait loss progress and maybe grow some new hair for his vertex area.

The after surgery photos are taken two years after the procedure.

Limitations of hair transplants.

Hair transplantation is a surgery that relocates hair from the donor site to the front or vertex of the head. Hair transplantation itself cannot increase the number if hairs, it can only relocate the existing hair.
The more bald the head becomes, the larger the area is that needs coverage and less donor hair is available.With hair transplant surgery, we have to use less hair to cover a bigger area. To deliver 100 % density is impossible. How we use the hair is very important. The hair style, shape of the pattern of hair loss, color contrast and hair quality plays a role in what we should emphasize. Transplanting equal density throughout the head is never a good idea.
