What this case tells you, and what it doesn’t
- At 35 with Norwood 5-6, further loss is likely, so how much donor hair is left after 4,000+ grafts matters as much as the 12-month photos.
- 12 months is the main checkpoint. Most transplanted hair has grown in by 12 months, and texture can keep maturing up to around 18 months.
- This is a clinic-selected result. Clinics publish their strongest outcomes, so compare it with independent patient diaries before deciding.
Questions to ask if you’re considering this clinic
- Who performs each step: the incisions, the extraction and the implantation?
- How many grafts are planned for each area, and what density does that give?
- What does aftercare include, and how is the 12-month follow-up done?
