Procedure detail
A 47 yr old Indian male, class VII (diffuse pattern), with no prior medication opted to do hair transplant surgery in order to cover the frontal and mid scalp regions, to improve the cosmetic appearance. He had a clear understanding of the coverage possible with the available donor area.
Owing to his work schedule, he was not comfortable shaving the existing hair at the recipient site. Grafts were inserted in between existing hair, explaining the probability of shock loss. 2900 FUG were inserted, with special attention to left part side. Patient willingly started oral Finasteride after surgery.
My patient is extremely happy at the end of 9 months, grateful for the judicial usage of limited donor area. Being a CEO, he appreciates the unnoticeable and yet significant transformation.
