Good result 4 few CITs. Such a difficult area to restore without shock or damage to natives» This class 3V, potential class 5 patient came to our clinic in the winter
» of 2007. This patient’s hair loss pattern was somewhat similar to a Ludwig
» pattern. This pattern is an overall thinning that is typical of female hair
» loss. The patient has about average donor density of 180 hairs per square
» centimeter. Years prior to treatment, the patient began using Finasteride
» to maintain native hair (non-transplanted). The patient’s goal was to
» obtain conservative, natural looking coverage to the top and front region.
» Our surgical team successfully transferred approx.1040 CIT grafts to the
» area.
»
» The patient is now wearing a long hair style without looking too thin. In
» the future, the front and top may be thickened to increase density if
» necessary. Our outlook on aggressive procedures is that these procedures
» may aide in over taxing patients’ donor resources. The purpose of
» conserving donor resources and medical therapy is to enable patients with
» an optimal chance to combat additional loss. A long term and short term
» plan should be given to all patients. Patients should be given
» recommendations along with the pros and cons of procedures, all possible
» side-effects, and pertinent hair restoration information.
»
» This happy patient is now able to wear a long or short hair style with
» confidence. The patient may be satisfied with the results, but can always
» add more density.
