Patient profile and the challenge

A 60-year-old patient with advanced Norwood 6 hair loss

A 60-year-old male (classified as Norwood 6) presented with advanced hair loss. He came to our clinic hoping to regain a fuller head of hair. His main objective was to achieve comprehensive coverage while considering the quality of his donor area.

The main challenge was managing severe hair loss while making the most of the limited donor hair available. As the patient wanted full coverage, we had to take a strategic approach. We prioritised the most visible areas and left room for potential future treatments.

Hair Transplant Strategy and combined approach

Dr Bonaros's approach

Dr Bonaros and the team took a two-step treatment plan.

Surgical Intervention: During a two-day Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure, Dr Bonaros transplanted 3,524 grafts, equivalent to 7,610 hairs.

The focus was on creating an age-appropriate hairline and covering the frontal and mid-scalp regions. We reserved the crown for a follow-up treatment after the donor area had time to recover.

Non-Surgical Treatment: In addition to the surgical plan, a supplementary non-surgical treatment enhances hair growth and improves the overall outcome of the procedure.


End Results

The result at 12 months

The results were highly satisfactory, offering the patient impressive coverage and a natural, undetectable appearance. His restored hairline and improved density in the frontal areas were notable, while the mid-scalp areas exceeded expectations. He has recently undergone a procedure to address the crown area, and we will soon update this page with his transformative results.

Doctor’s Note: Ageless Transformation

There is a common misconception that hair restoration is primarily a solution for younger men trying to halt early hair loss. However, this case beautifully demonstrates that the transformative power of a hair transplant truly knows no age limit.

Whether you are in your thirties or well into your sixties, restoring a natural, healthy hairline has a profound impact on your overall appearance. For older, more mature men, the goal isn't to look like a teenager again - it is about restoring facial balance, vitality, and a sense of renewed energy that matches how youthful they feel on the inside.

Age should never be a barrier to looking and feeling your absolute best. A carefully designed hair transplant can literally turn back the clock, providing a striking, natural rejuvenation at any stage of life.

Warmly,
Dr Epameinondas Bonaros
Hair Transplant Surgeon
