This patient came in for his 6 month follow up appointment. He was a candidate for dense packing and I planted at densities up to 60 FU/sq.cm. He is a 38 year old male who has hair loss in the Norwood type II pattern. Most of the males in his family do not progress to more than a Norwood type IV but he does have an uncle who has Norwood type V hair loss. His donor density is average and he has very minimal crown loss.
In a patient like this I feel comfortable dense packing the hairline. If he was in his 20s or had a family history with more significant hair loss I may have chosen to keep the densities in the 30 to 40FU/sq.cm. range.
His hair count is as follows:
1 Hair FU 548
2 Hair FU 1061
3 Hair Fu 495
4 Hair FU 60
Total FU 2164
Total Hairs 4395
