Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Build higher, more defined cheek lines and improve visible density across the cheek and lower jawline regions while maintaining a balanced facial-hair outline.

Assessment context: Sparse cheek coverage, low density along the upper cheek line and uneven facial-hair distribution across the lateral jawline.

Planning rationale: DHI was selected to support controlled placement angle, depth and direction when implanting tightly curved Afro-textured follicles in the beard recipient area. Planning focused on cheek-line definition, jawline density and integration with the patient's existing facial-hair pattern.

Design notes: The upper cheek line was mapped slightly higher to create clearer structural definition along the cheeks and sideburn region while maintaining facial balance and continuity toward the jawline.

Recorded Procedure

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

Recorded follow-up context

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment facial-hair record describes sparse cheek coverage, low density along the upper cheek line and uneven facial-hair distribution across the lateral jawline. The recorded treatment field was the cheeks, jawline and mustache. The recorded procedure used 2,150 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.
