ine zone and to help camouflage the larger grafts. In addition larger grafts are never used in the posterior half of a patient with Type V or greater male pattern baldness (MPB). Individuals who choose to use larger grafts must also be aware that, theoretically at least, the area treated with larger grafts must eventually be filled solidly (when all original hair has been lost). If not, when the hair is parted through the transplanted area, when it is wet or wind blown, plugginess may be noted. However, the density is usually so great that this is generally unnecessary even for relatively demanding patients. The other type of patient in whom standard grafts are advantageous, are individuals who have been treated with standard grafts in the past and have obvious spaces between them with a so-called "Barbie-doll" appearance. If there is good hair density in the standard grafts on either side of a hairless space, the most efficient way of eliminating that space is to fill it with an appropriate sized graft containing hair of similar density to the flanking standard grafts. Punching out a portion of some of the larger grafts can be most useful as an adjunctive technique…

Chapter 4 – Hereditary Baldness

e to the perception of slightly more hair falling out, but there is no significant shedding associated with common balding. To say it another way, male pattern baldness is not a condition where hair falls out in mass, but rather a condition where full thickness terminal hair is gradually replaced by finer, miniaturized hair. At some point the DHT-affected hair will become so fine, that it will have no cosmetic value and the area will appear bald. Common baldness, therefore, is a process of hair "thinning" that only at its end stage leads to actual hair "loss". Men who are going to become very bald usually see the first signs of hair loss in their late teens and early twenties. The younger the age that a person begins to thin, the more extensive the hair loss is likely to become. If a man passes though the twenties with no hair loss, it is unlikely (thought not impossible) that he will become very bald. Dark-haired men, particularly those with light skin, will generally notice hair loss earlier than light-haired men do, but the rate of hair loss is no different. At the first signs of balding, some people panic, some become…

quent transplant sessions. This article will address those patients whose balding patterns fall under the major Norwood Classifications ((Norwood OT. Male pattern baldness: classification and incidence. So. Med. J 1975;68:1359-1365.)) as well as those with diffuse androgenetic alopecia. (Please refer to reference 1 for a more detailed description of follicular transplantation and its glossary for the clarification of specific terms. In addition, it is important to be familiar with the Norwood Classification of male pattern baldness, as this will be used frequently in the following text.) Hair restoration surgery is the single most common cosmetic surgical procedure performed in men in the United States today and is still growing at a substantial rate. Of all cosmetic procedures in men, hair transplant surgery has the potential to produce the most dramatic change in one's appearance. However, in no other form of cosmetic surgery, has the road to achieving a desired result been more difficult for the patient. Since hair is so visible, the cosmetic problems produced by earlier surgical procedures which resulted in partial, incomplete, or distorted appearances over multiple-staged sessions, often outweighed the long-term benefits. The protracted course of traditional transplant surgeries that included 2 to 5 mm grafts, scalp…

Hairline vs Crown Balding

de, with male and female pattern baldness being the most prevalent forms. While hair loss can manifest in various patterns and areas of the scalp, two primary areas of concern are the crown (vertex) and the hairline. “While thinning can occur at both vertex and hairline, it is important to target the cosmetically most important region, which is the frontal hairline, since it frames your face and gives a larger impact on your appearance,” says Dr. Christine Shaver of Bernstein Medical Center for Hair Restoration. Crown Balding vs. Hairline Balding: Understanding the Difference Crown Balding Crown balding, also known as vertex baldness, refers to hair loss at the top or back of the scalp. It typically presents as a gradual thinning of hair in a circular or oval-shaped pattern, eventually leading to partial or complete baldness in the crown area. Crown balding is a common manifestation of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and can also occur in women.
