600 CIT on repair patient at 5 months post-op - Fine hair line design - Case L

Below are photo comparisons of a mature patient who
sought out our clinic after having three prior hair transplant
procedures that include a plug procedure, scalp reduction, and a strip procedure
(FUT). The patient’s actual goal was to have the plugs camouflaged for
a more natural looking and aesthetically pleasing frontal hair line. Very often, we encounter patients who are literally forced to pluck a significant number of their plugs go about their daily activities. Dr. Cole strategically transplanted 600 CIT grafts onto the front to treat this patient.

Much research should be done prior to moving forward with any hair
transplant clinic. We encourage all potential patients to campaign toward
finding a reputable clinic that shows excellent results. Even today,
there are clinics that either mis-angle the transplanted follicular units or
transplant follicular units containing one too many hairs on the hair
line. Even an abrupt hair line with multiple hair grafts can ruin any
hair transplant. At just 5 months post-op, this patient enjoys a
natural looking hair line without compromising any laxity of the scalp
or linear scar associated with strip hair transplant method.

I agree. Much better because sometimes adding hair is less difficult than removing all follicular units and plugs. For all patients to need repair is terrible mostly because the expense to resolve the problem is much more costly than the expense of paying once to have the procedure properly done.

The point to be made here is that not many grafts were needed to reconstruct a more appealing hair line. A mere 600 grafts is a classic example of what 600 CIT grafts can do. You have to remember that this patient’s donor area could only be harvested by a non-strip method. The hair line orientation was corrected by placing just the right number of grafts in the right direction.

Absolutely beautiful work and age appropriate, not to mention only 600 grafts were used.
