Natural Restoration with 2,901 FUE Grafts
Hair Transplant Case Study:
Patient Overview
This 63-year-old male was concerned about progressive thinning through the frontal hairline and the top of his scalp. After researching several leading hair transplant surgeons in the San Francisco Bay Area, he selected Dr. Sara Wasserbauer to perform his procedure.
The Treatment
Dr. Wasserbauer performed a follicular unit extraction, or FUE, hair transplant. Individual follicular units were carefully harvested from the patient’s donor area and transplanted into the thinning areas of his scalp.
The procedure included:
- 2,901 follicular unit grafts
- 6,970 individual hairs
- FUE donor harvesting
- No hair-maintenance medication
The grafts were strategically placed to improve the patient’s frontal hairline, add coverage through the top of the scalp and create a natural appearance appropriate for his age and existing hair pattern.
The Results
The before-and-after photographs show a noticeable improvement in the patient’s hairline, overall coverage and hair density. His restored hair blends naturally with his existing hair, providing a fuller appearance without looking artificial or overly aggressive.
Beyond the physical transformation, the patient reported that the results had a positive impact on both his personal confidence and his professional life.
The Patient’s Experience
After carefully comparing his options, the patient felt confident that Dr. Wasserbauer was the right surgeon for him. In his video testimonial, he discusses his hair-restoration journey, his experience with the procedure and how his new appearance affected the way he felt about himself.
