3,517-Graft FUE + PRP: Norwood 4 Frontal Restoration at 5 Months

Case Study · 3,517 Grafts + PRP

A documented Alvi Armani FUE restoration performed in Beverly Hills using 3,517 grafts with PRP. Treatment included the hairline, temples and frontal region in a patient documented as Norwood 4. The current after photographs were taken by the patient at only five months after surgery, making this an interim rather than mature result.

Five-Month Result After 3,517-Graft FUE + PRP

The patient submitted these after photographs approximately five months after the 3,517-graft procedure. They document early postoperative progress across the frontal restoration, including the hairline and temple regions.

Because five months is an early stage of hair-transplant growth, these photographs should be interpreted as interim evidence rather than the final appearance of the procedure.

Starting Point

Norwood 4 Frontal Hair Loss

The patient was documented as Norwood Class 4. The treatment plan addressed the frontal region, including the hairline and temples.

The available case record does not document treatment of the mid-scalp or crown for this procedure, so the case should be understood as a frontal restoration.

Understand the Plan

3,517 Grafts Directed to the Frontal Restoration

The documented procedure used 3,517 FUE grafts to restore the patient's hairline, temples and frontal region. PRP was used as an adjunct treatment.

This provides another example of approximately 3,500 grafts being concentrated primarily in the frontal portion of the scalp rather than distributed across a larger full-scalp treatment area.

Hairline & Temples

The hairline and temples were documented treatment areas, making reconstruction of the frontal frame part of the surgical plan.

Frontal Region

Treatment extended behind the hairline through the frontal scalp rather than stopping at the leading edge alone.

Adjunct treatment note: PRP is documented as part of this patient's procedure. The case record establishes that it was used, but does not by itself establish that PRP caused faster healing, reduced shedding, increased graft retention or earlier growth.

Operative Evidence

Before Surgery and the Next Day

The available case record includes a preoperative view alongside the appearance of the recipient area the day after surgery. This provides direct evidence of the early postoperative treatment area before subsequent hair growth.

Five-Month Follow-Up

Patient-Submitted Early Result

The patient took the after photographs himself at approximately five months after surgery. These images document the developing frontal result at an early postoperative milestone.

Five months is not a mature hair-transplant endpoint, so the appearance shown here should be interpreted in the context of ongoing postoperative growth.

Photography note: the five-month after photographs were taken by the patient rather than captured as a standardized clinical photography series. Differences in lighting, angle, styling and image conditions should therefore be considered when comparing them with the preoperative photographs.

What This Case Shows

Early Results Need to Be Interpreted in the Context of Timing

This case is useful within the 3,500-graft group because it combines a frontal restoration with a clearly documented early follow-up interval.

The 3,517 grafts were used across the hairline, temples and frontal region, while the patient-submitted photographs document the developing result at only five months.

That timing matters. A five-month result should not be compared directly with a one-year or later case as if both photographs represent the same stage of postoperative growth.

This does not mean every Norwood 4 patient requires 3,517 grafts. Appropriate graft requirements depend on recipient-area size, donor resources, existing native hair, hair characteristics and the goals of the individual restoration.

Was PRP used?

Yes. PRP is documented as an adjunct treatment used with this FUE procedure.

The case documents that PRP was used, but the available record does not establish that PRP caused faster healing, less shedding, increased graft retention or earlier growth.

How long after surgery were the result photographs taken?

The after photographs were taken by the patient approximately five months after surgery.

Is five months a final hair-transplant result?

No. Five months represents an interim stage of postoperative growth rather than a mature result.
