Patient profile and the challenge
A male patient presented with extensive hair loss along the crown, mid-scalp, upper crown, and hairline. This was classified as stage 6 on the Norwood scale.
The patient’s extensive hair loss required a strategic and comprehensive approach to achieve satisfactory coverage and a natural-looking result. This involved blending existing and transplanted hair to seamlessly integrate the existing hair tuft on the left side into the hairline design.
Hair Transplant Strategy and combined approach
The patient underwent an extensive two-day Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. Dr Bonaros utilised 4,012 grafts (8,784 hairs) to restore the crown, mid-scalp, upper crown, and hairline. Careful graft allocation helped ensure appropriate coverage and density.
End Results
The procedure successfully achieved the patient’s desired hair coverage and density. The existing hair tuft was seamlessly integrated with the transplanted hair, resulting in a natural and harmonious appearance.
From Dr Bonaros
With such extensive balding, achieving high density across the entire scalp is rarely possible due to a finite supply of donor hair. Therefore, success relies on intelligent compromise. We deliberately prioritise the aesthetically crucial areas - specifically rebuilding the frontal hairline and mid-scalp to frame the face. While this means accepting lighter, natural-looking coverage toward the crown, this strategic allocation delivers the most dramatic and satisfying visual impact where it matters most.
Warmly,
Dr Epameinondas Bonaros
Hair Transplant Surgeon
