This Patient Would’ve Been Bald Without Hair Transplants (with Photos)

This man stopped by this week and he’s given me permission to post his photos showing the results of his hair transplants started 15 years ago. He had a total of 4085 grafts over three surgeries done incrementally as he lost more and more hair. Had he not had these procedures, he would’ve been showing a Norwood Class 6 or 7.

Forgive the quality of the before photo below, as it was from an old scan (the days before we had digital cameras).

The reason for his visit was to inquire about filling in the crown, but I suggested that more surgery may not be in his interest. His scalp is tight and his donor area is depleted. Instead, we applied DermMatch to the crown, making a big impact. The use of concealers are discussed in my book, Hair Loss and Replacement for Dummies, a worthwhile read with suggestions on alternatives for hair transplants.
