Documented clinical journey

Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Define the jawline and improve visible beard and mustache coverage while creating a balanced transition across the cheeks, chin and lower facial area.

Assessment context: Patchy facial-hair growth, limited lower-jawline definition and reduced visual coverage across the cheeks.

Planning rationale: DHI was selected to support controlled graft placement across the beard and mustache areas. Planning focused on placement direction, angle and distribution because these factors are particularly important when integrating tightly curled Afro-textured follicles with existing facial hair.

Design notes: The beard outline was planned according to the patient's facial structure and existing facial-hair pattern. The lower jawline border was refined, while cheek placement was planned to create a gradual transition between existing and transplanted facial hair.

Recorded Procedure

Follicular units were harvested from the posterior scalp donor area. Grafts were implanted across the planned beard and mustache recipient areas using a DHI implanter workflow, with placement adapted to the intended direction, angle, distribution and the patient's existing facial-hair pattern.

Recorded follow-up context

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment facial-hair record describes patchy facial-hair growth, limited lower-jawline definition and reduced visual coverage across the cheeks. The recorded treatment field was the jawline, cheeks, chin and mustache. The recorded procedure used 3,000 grafts. At 12 months, the principal visual change is concentrated along the jawline and cheeks. 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.
