Patient profile and the challenge

A young patient with advanced hair loss

A 35-year-old male patient presented with extensive hair loss in the frontal and mid-scalp regions, as well as pronounced thinning at the crown. This was classified as stage 6 on the Norwood scale. Despite his significant hair loss, this patient had good donor hair density and excellent hair quality.


The main goal was to address the balding area across the patient’s scalp and ensure that new hair would blend seamlessly to create a natural appearance. Due to the patient’s age and the progressive nature of his hair loss, there was also a need for a sustainable post-transplant maintenance regimen.

Hair Transplant Strategy and combined approach

Dr Bonaros's approach

Taking the patient’s hair quality and donor hair density into account, Dr Bonaros performed an advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant. A total of 4,033 grafts (8,024 individual hairs) were transplanted to the most affected areas. This strategic placement aimed to achieve maximum coverage and restore a convincingly natural look.

Considering the patient’s young age and risk of further hair loss, Dr Bonaros prescribed a combination hair loss therapy. This tailored treatment plan aimed to maintain the patient’s existing hair, supplement the transplant results, and prevent additional hair loss.

End Results

The result at 14 months

By month four, early regrowth was visible across the frontal band. By month ten, significant density was apparent and the hairline design was fully appreciable. The final result at fourteen months showed a soft, natural hairline with age-appropriate temporal recession — indistinguishable from naturally grown hair.

From Dr Bonaros

Doctor’s Note: FUE Hair Transplantation at Its Finest

Going from extensive baldness to almost a full head of hair is one of the most remarkable transformations we can achieve in this clinic. This case perfectly exemplifies modern FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) hair transplantation at its absolute best.

Warmly,
Dr Epameinondas Bonaros
