Chizldjd/BHT hairline, temple, and donor repair

FITLocks

A patient of Dr. Cole’s by the internet handle of “Chizldjd” visited our office in Atlanta again for 3 more days of Body FIT work. 1754 grafts were extracted during his most recent stay. Most of these grafts came from the legs.

Chizldjd came to us with a strong interest in aggressive hairline work. His expectations and desires for a hair transplant were far beyond what his poor scalp donor area could yield, thus BHT was the only option. The hair line was lowered by more than 2 centimeters this time around with leg hair. The new hairline will rest 7cm above the glabella. When he originally visited us in 2003, chizldjd was a stage 6 pushing into a stage 7 with a tuft of transplanted hair placed more than 12cm above the glabella not to mention an entirely bald crown. It is simply impossible to give a stage 6/7 this sort of hairline without BHT. This case is full of firsts and the latest phase in no exception. To our knowledge this is the first time a frontal hairline has been reconstructed with Body Hair Transplants to this extent.

In addition to the frontal work, Dr. Cole rotated some leg hair into Chizldjd’s sparse scalp donor area which had been scarred and thinned out by previous hair restoration attempts with other surgeons. (See attached photos of hairline placement and grafting into the donor area immediately post-op.) This is a rare instance when the traditional donor area is beefed up by a hair transplant and not thinned out.

Finally, we were pleased to observe the remarkable growth Chizldjd achieved from a previous procedure with Dr. Cole 2.5 months ago. At that time leg hair was grafted into his anterior temporal aspects with significant result (See attached photos). As many of you may know, aggressive temple design can often produce a slightly unnatural look as the relatively coarseness of the scalp donor region is ill-suited for the temporal area. Dr. Cole avoided this issue altogether by cherry picking fine leg hair for the temples. The growth and aesthetic outcome of this case has been outstanding thus far.
