Hair Transplantation Correction

The first challenge

In the following images, you can see the previously depleted donor area before the treatment in 2016. In the first step, we redefined and corrected the hairline and densified the front third of the scalp. Please note that when redesigning the hairline, a second transplantation is usually required. This is because it is medically and technically challenging to achieve a natural density immediately on bald areas. Particularly important in correction is the consideration of natural hair fall angles, hair growth direction, and optimal selection of grafts.

Result 10 and 12 months after the first corrective treatment with approximately 2000 grafts postoperatively.

During the second treatment, another 2000 grafts were harvested. Considering the planned density enhancement in the frontal area and the reconstruction of the crown, this number of grafts may seem relatively low. However, the priority was to complete the hairline; the remaining grafts were used for the crown reconstruction. The area of the whirl was left open for the third treatment due to the insufficient number of available grafts.

It is essential to emphasize that achieving a satisfactory result requires careful planning and patience. Patients are expected to demonstrate patience, time, and good physical condition. Without these prerequisites, the time until the final result may be perceived as burdensome.

However, with proper execution and realistic expectations regarding achievable density and possibilities given the circumstances, a good outcome can be expected.

The third treatment took place at the end of 2019. In total, nearly 2000 grafts (total count: approximately 6000 grafts) were harvested, with 1500 grafts from the scalp area and the remaining 500 from beard hairs – specifically, 300 grafts were harvested from under the chin and 200 from the temple areas of the beard. The detailed final result will be extensively presented in the interview.

It is important to understand that beard hairs should not be transplanted at the same density as scalp hairs, as their characteristics vary significantly. To illustrate: while scalp hairs are comparable to the fingers of a hand, beard hairs are more akin to the thumb – they are noticeably thicker. However, when beard hairs are skillfully combined with scalp hairs in a balanced ratio, an improved illusion of density can be achieved. Ultimately, an increase in hair volume is only possible through the use of hair follicles with a larger diameter or follicles containing multiple units (grafts with multiple hairs).
