View of progressive hair loss

CITness

Hi forum viewers,

This patient started off as a Norwood 3V potential Norwood 4A. The case is a classic example of a patient who suffered from progressive hair loss over many years. Approximately 800 grafts were transplanted on the frontal hair line to restore the recession. You can clearly see that the patient lost the pre-existing hair on the front and the transplanted hair was retained for many years later. This patient probably would have had very little hair on front if the hair transplant had not been performed, hopefully, along with maximal medical therapy. You can also see that the patient actually maintained the frontal hair line and a natural looking frontal scalp despite the hair loss. The patient recently returned to add density on the front.

After a hair transplant, native hair can be lost at any time in the future and there is no telling which patients will experience this progressive condition. Hair loss is not a linear progression and often times will require the patient to have a second procedure performed to maximize density on the recipient areas.

Hair loss can be devastating for an individual and can cause psychological problems. Physicians who recognize hair loss as a psychological concern for any individual may refer the individual to a hair transplant physician.

Unbelievable, i remember seeing this patient in the year post op and the results were amazing.
some patients are lucky and keep up the existing hair and some don't.
the ones that loose the existing hair will need to have a few more sessions to overcome the loss.
