Unusual case due to the high amount of grafts used and surgeries performed in the repair of the front third and middle area due to a non-stable alopecia despite using med's. Patient who comes in 2007 to our consultation, NW III, in treatment with finasteride, minoxidil and sintron (anticoagulant - background of cardiac arrhythmia). We decide to carry out conservative approach with only 1661 grafts. In 2009 he come back complaining of firewalls at the junction of the transplanted area with native hair. We agreed to insert 1200 units to solve the gap and reinforce the previous area. A year and a half later (2010) concerns about a new depopulation posterior to the transplanted area. The patient started with dutasteride and we performed a new touch-up with 1001 grafts (2023 hairs; 2.02 hair/graft; 0.75 mm punch; 55 microns of hair; 231UF1/ 522UF2/ 244UF3/ 4UF4). The new medication provides hair los stability, but the patient in 2012 beg and insist in a final procedure to increase density in the whole area. His donor area had had a very good recovery for which, with reluctance, we access to do the last touch-up with 1298 units (2656 hairs; 2.04 hair/grat; 0.85 mm punch; 322UF1/ 616UF2/ 343UF3/ 17UF4/ 1UF5). The patient was finally happy with the outcome.
