Documented Observation
The pre-treatment scalp record describes marked frontal hairline recession, deep bitemporal recession and diffuse thinning extending across the central forelock, mid-scalp and crown, documented in a Norwood 4 pattern. The recorded treatment field was the frontal hairline, temporal corners, mid-scalp and crown. The recorded procedure used 4,300 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.
