Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Improve visible coverage and overall volume across the frontal and mid-scalp regions, reduce scalp visibility and create an age-appropriate feminine frontal hairline aligned with the patient's facial proportions and treatment goals.

Assessment context: Diffuse thinning across the frontal third and mid-scalp, widening of the natural parting and reduced visible frontal density, documented within a female-pattern hair-loss presentation.

Planning rationale: DHI was selected to support controlled graft placement between existing native hairs across the frontal and mid-scalp recipient zones without requiring full recipient-area shaving. Planning focused on implantation angle, direction, depth and distribution in relation to the patient's existing hair pattern and recipient-area requirements.

Design notes: The frontal hairline was planned according to the patient's facial proportions and treatment goals, using a softly rounded feminine contour with subtle irregularity rather than a rigid linear border. Single-hair follicular units were prioritized along the leading edge, with multi-hair units distributed behind the transition zone according to the treatment plan.

Recorded Procedure

Follicular units were harvested from the occipital donor area using FUE-based extraction. Selected single-hair and multi-hair grafts were implanted across the planned frontal, central forelock and anterior mid-scalp recipient zones using a Choi implanter workflow, with placement adapted to the intended angle, direction, depth and distribution.

Recorded follow-up context

Clinical Interpretation

Documented Observation

The pre-treatment scalp record describes diffuse thinning across the frontal third and mid-scalp, widening of the natural parting and reduced visible frontal density, documented within a female-pattern hair-loss presentation. The recorded treatment field was the frontal hairline, mid-scalp and forelock. The recorded procedure used 3,000 grafts. At 12 months, the clearest visual change is concentrated at the frontal hairline, with additional photographed change through the mid-scalp and forelock. The treatment did not target the crown, so these photographs should not be interpreted as evidence of crown restoration. 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.
