Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Reconstruct an age-appropriate frontal hairline and improve overall scalp coverage while using additional beard and chest donor reserves where scalp donor availability alone was insufficient for the planned treatment area.

Assessment context: Advanced male-pattern hair loss consistent with Norwood V, with marked frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal loss and widespread thinning across the forelock, mid-scalp and vertex.

Planning rationale: A multi-source donor strategy was selected because scalp donor availability alone was insufficient for the planned recipient coverage. Of the 5,100 total grafts, 3,300 were harvested from the occipital scalp, 1,200 from the beard region and 600 from the chest. Scalp grafts were prioritized for the frontal hairline and transition zones, while beard and selected chest grafts were incorporated into appropriate interior areas according to their characteristics and the treatment plan.

Design notes: A natural, mature frontal hairline was designed according to the patient's facial proportions and existing hair-loss pattern. Single-hair scalp grafts were prioritized along the leading edge, while scalp, beard and selected chest grafts were distributed behind the hairline through the mid-scalp and crown according to donor characteristics and recipient requirements.

Recorded Procedure

A total of 5,100 follicular-unit grafts were transplanted using FUE extraction across three donor sources: 3,300 scalp grafts, 1,200 beard grafts and 600 chest grafts. Recipient sites were created using sapphire blades with planning adapted to the intended direction, angle and distribution across the frontal, mid-scalp and crown zones.

Recorded follow-up context

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment scalp record describes advanced male-pattern hair loss consistent with Norwood V, with marked frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal loss and widespread thinning across the forelock, mid-scalp and vertex. The recorded treatment field was the frontal hairline, temporal corners, mid-scalp and crown. The recorded procedure used 5,100 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.
