Norwood Class 4 Patient — Is 2500 Grafts To Hairline Risky?

Hi Dr. Rassman….Happy New Year. I’m scheduled for a 2500 graft procedure with a “top doc”. I’m 32…norwood 4 with so so donor. Do you think it’s risky to do a 2500 graft procedure in the hairline at this point? My doc feels that even if I thin out in the back I’ll be fine

This is what I do. One large session of 2500 or so grafts in a Norwood Class 4A pattern is about the right number. Be sure that you are taking finasteride (Propecia) prior to having the transplants. You need to keep what you have.

Good luck!
