Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Reconstruct an age-appropriate frontal hairline and improve coverage through the frontal, mid-scalp, and crown regions while preserving available scalp donor resources.

Assessment context: Advanced male-pattern hair loss consistent with Norwood IV, with pronounced frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal loss, and diffuse thinning extending through the forelock, mid-scalp, and crown.

Planning rationale: A body hair transplant strategy was combined with Sapphire FUE because the scalp donor supply alone was not considered sufficient for the planned multi-zone coverage. Of the 4,800 grafts transplanted, 3,800 were harvested from the scalp donor area and 1,000 from the submandibular beard area. Scalp-derived grafts were prioritized for the frontal hairline, while beard-derived grafts were used as supplementary coverage within the interior recipient zones.

Design notes: A mature, age-appropriate frontal hairline was planned in relation to the patient’s facial proportions and available donor supply. Single-hair scalp follicular units were prioritized along the leading edge, with progressively larger scalp grafts and selected beard-derived grafts used behind the frontal boundary.

Recorded Procedure

A total of 4,800 follicular-unit grafts were transplanted: 3,800 harvested from the occipital scalp donor area and 1,000 from the submandibular beard donor area using FUE extraction. Recipient sites were created with sapphire blades according to the planned hairline, direction, and treatment zones. Scalp and beard grafts were then distributed according to the recipient-area plan.

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment scalp record describes advanced male-pattern hair loss consistent with Norwood IV, with pronounced frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal loss, and diffuse thinning extending through the forelock, mid-scalp, and crown. The recorded treatment field was the frontal hairline, temporal corners, mid-scalp and crown. The recorded procedure used 4,800 grafts. At 12 months, the clearest visual change is concentrated at the frontal hairline, with additional photographed change through the temporal corners and mid-scalp. The crown was included in the treated field; the photographs record that zone as treated and should be read zone by zone, without assuming the same visual change in every area. In the follow-up views, the transplanted areas appear visually continuous with the patient's existing wavy hair pattern. This is the documented result of one patient and does not predict another patient's outcome.
