5,000 grafts, DHI hair transplant, 11 months on

The photographs show the same patient before the operation and 11 months after it, both taken at the clinic. Nothing in them has been retouched beyond removing the background and the clinic's old labels.

5,000 grafts were placed in one DHI session. The number was set by the size of the thinning area and by what the donor area at the back of the head could safely give — not by a target figure.

Every scalp, hairline and donor area is different, and so is every result. This case is shown as one example of what the technique can do, not as a promise of what yours will look like. An estimate for your own case comes from photographs and an examination.
