This 35-year-old patient with documented Norwood Class 4 hair loss received 3,059 FUE grafts to restore the hairline, temples and frontal region. The case includes preoperative, early postoperative and documented 13-month result photography.
13 Months After 3,059-Graft FUE Hairline Restoration
The documented procedure used 3,059 FUE grafts to restore the patient's hairline, temple regions and frontal scalp.
The comparison below shows the patient's appearance before surgery and at the documented 13-month follow-up.
Norwood 4 Hair Loss With Frontal and Temporal Recession
The patient was documented as having Norwood Class 4 hair loss. His hairline and temporal regions had experienced substantial hair loss, while the central forelock was described as extremely thin.
Before treatment, he was styling his remaining hair forward in an effort to conceal the frontal hair loss.
Prior Topical Minoxidil Use
The patient had used topical minoxidil for approximately one year before surgery.
The original case record states that he observed little or no regrowth during that period. The surgical plan was subsequently developed after consultation and evaluation of his hair loss.
3,059 FUE Grafts Across the Hairline, Temples and Front
The documented procedure used 3,059 grafts harvested by FUE to restore the hairline, temples and frontal region.
The original case record describes the approach as using Alvi Armani's Dense Packing Technique. The documented recipient areas extended across the frontal frame rather than being limited to the central hairline alone.
Hairline & Forelock
Treatment included reconstruction of the frontal hairline and the region around the markedly thinned central forelock.
Temple Restoration
The documented recipient plan also included the temporal regions as part of the reconstructed frontal frame.

A Near-3,000-Graft Plan for a Norwood 4 Frontal Restoration
This case documents 3,059 FUE grafts being used across the hairline, temples and frontal region in a Norwood 4 patient.
It provides another example of why similar graft totals can represent different surgical plans depending on the patient's starting pattern and recipient areas.
This does not mean every Norwood 4 patient or every frontal restoration requires approximately 3,000 grafts. Appropriate graft planning depends on recipient-area size, donor resources, existing native hair, hair characteristics and restoration goals.
Questions About This 3,059-Graft FUE Case
How many grafts were transplanted?
The documented procedure used 3,059 FUE grafts.
What was the patient's hair-loss classification?
The patient was documented as Norwood Class 4.
Which areas were treated?
The documented treatment included the hairline, temples and frontal region.
How old was the patient?
The patient was documented as 35 years old.
Did the patient use minoxidil before surgery?
Yes. The original case record states that the patient used topical minoxidil for approximately one year and observed little or no regrowth.
When were the result photographs taken?
The after photographs are documented at 13 months after surgery.
Is there early postoperative photography?
Yes. The case includes a three-day postoperative view in addition to the preoperative and 13-month images.
Does every Norwood 4 patient require about 3,000 grafts?
No. Norwood classification alone does not determine graft requirements. Recipient-area size, donor resources, existing native hair, hair characteristics and restoration goals all affect planning.

Your FUE Hair Transplantation Plan Is Individual
Graft count is only one part of planning. Your hair-loss pattern, treatment areas, existing native hair, donor resources and long-term goals all influence the appropriate approach.
