Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Lower and reconstruct the frontal hairline while improving visible coverage across the frontal and mid-scalp regions in a way that remains proportionate to the patient's facial structure and donor capacity.

Assessment context: Frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal recession and reduced visible density across the frontal and mid-scalp regions.

Planning rationale: DHI was selected to support controlled graft placement across the frontal and mid-scalp recipient areas. Planning focused on implantation angle, depth and direction when working with tightly curved Afro-textured follicles and the patient's existing hair-growth pattern.

Design notes: The frontal hairline was planned according to the patient's facial proportions, recession pattern and Afro-textured hair characteristics. The anterior boundary was designed to remain defined and proportionate while graft direction and distribution followed the patient's natural curl pattern and growth orientation.

Recorded Procedure

Follicular units were harvested from the posterior scalp donor area using FUE-based extraction with planning adapted to Afro-textured follicular curvature. Grafts were implanted across the planned recipient zones using a Choi implanter workflow, with placement adapted to the intended direction, angle and distribution across the hairline, frontal region and mid-scalp.

Recorded follow-up context

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment scalp record describes frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal recession and reduced visible density across the frontal and mid-scalp regions. The recorded treatment field was the frontal hairline, frontal scalp and mid-scalp. The recorded procedure used 3,100 grafts. At 12 months, the clearest visual change is concentrated at the frontal hairline, with additional photographed change through the frontal scalp and mid-scalp. The treatment did not target the crown, so these photographs should not be interpreted as evidence of crown restoration. 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.
