Dr. Sethi & Dr. Bansal Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Mr. Ahmed was a grade IV bald case. In his case, we transplanted 3500 scalp grafts in the forntal zone augmenting the density as well as recreating the hairline. The results presented to you are after 6 months of progress.

Senior Member VicTNYC Posted November 18, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2018 Same question, How is it possible that this patient had good hair growth and coverage in his crown area at 6-months without any grafts being placed there when he had obvious thinning in the area?

The difference is his hair grew out, so it appears visually denser, he is also combing his hair to the side which conceals the thin spot.

Dr. Sethi & Dr. Bansal Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Explanation of density after 6 months in the non planted area: At the time of transplantation, he had kept short hair. When hair is short, whatever great the density might be, that looks less. And when they grow to 3-5 cm long, the area looks dense and covered well. In the index case, since he had an ongoing Androgenetic Alopecia (baldness), in addition to planting hair on the front he was alos given Finasteride 1mg daily and regular Minoxidil to apply. So, due to the combination of growth of the thinning hair due to medical therapy and plantation of hair, which grows faster due to the DHT concept of graft placement.
