Patient presentation and recorded decisions

Assessment & Treatment Planning

Patient goal: Reconstruct an age-appropriate frontal hairline while improving visible coverage across the frontal tuft, bitemporal regions and anterior mid-scalp.

Assessment context: Temporal recession, diffuse thinning through the forelock and reduced frontal hairline definition, consistent with a Norwood 3 to 4 pattern.

Planning rationale: DHI was selected to support controlled graft placement between existing native hairs across the frontal, temporal and anterior mid-scalp recipient zones. 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, age and treatment goals, using a masculine contour with subtle irregularity rather than a rigid linear border. Single-hair follicular units were prioritized along the leading edge to support a softer visual transition.

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, bitemporal 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 temporal recession, diffuse thinning through the forelock and reduced frontal hairline definition, consistent with a Norwood 3 to 4 pattern. The recorded treatment field was the frontal hairline, temporal corners and mid-scalp. The recorded procedure used 3,250 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 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.
