Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Improve visible cheek coverage, create a cleaner upper cheek line and build a more continuous jawline profile while maintaining facial balance.

Assessment context: Irregular cheek density, patchy gaps along the upper cheek line and uneven facial-hair coverage along the jawline.

Planning rationale: DHI was selected to support controlled graft depth, angle and direction when implanting tightly curled Afro-textured follicles across the planned beard recipient areas. Planning focused on cheek-line definition, jawline continuity and integration with the patient's existing facial-hair pattern.

Design notes: The upper cheek line was planned slightly higher to connect cleanly toward the sideburns, with graft distribution designed to frame the lower face while remaining aligned with the patient's facial proportions.

Recorded Procedure

Follicular units were harvested from the posterior scalp donor area using FUE extraction. Grafts were implanted using a Choi implanter workflow, with placement adapted to the intended acute exit angles, direction and distribution of the patient's natural facial-hair growth.

Recorded follow-up context

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment facial-hair record describes irregular cheek density, patchy gaps along the upper cheek line and uneven facial-hair coverage along the jawline. The recorded treatment field was the cheeks, jawline, chin and sideburns. The recorded procedure used 2,100 grafts. At 12 months, the principal visual change is concentrated along the cheeks and jawline. The photographs document this patient's facial-hair distribution in the treated zones and should not be read as a measure of graft survival or as a scalp result. Because tight curl can increase the apparent coverage seen in two-dimensional photographs, the images are a visual record of this patient's result rather than a direct measure of density. This is the documented result of one patient and does not predict another patient's outcome.
