A documented Salt Lake City hair restoration performed by Dr. Craig Barton using 3,190 grafts to treat Zones 1 and 2 of the frontal scalp. PRP was used as adjunct support. The photographs shown here document the patient's appearance at approximately 9 months after the procedure.
Frontal Restoration Across Zones 1 and 2
The treatment plan used 3,190 grafts across Zones 1 and 2, concentrating the restoration through the frontal region and the transition immediately behind it.
The photographs shown here were taken at approximately 9 months after surgery and should therefore be interpreted as an interim result rather than a final endpoint.
A Frontal-Focused 3,190-Graft Restoration
Dr. Craig Barton treated Zones 1 and 2 with a total of 3,190 grafts. The documented plan focused the procedure through the frontal scalp rather than distributing the graft count across more posterior areas.
This makes the case useful when comparing patients in the approximately 3,000-graft range. A similar graft total can represent very different treatment areas depending on the patient's starting point and restoration priorities.
PRP was used as adjunct support with the procedure. Because this case does not provide a controlled comparison, the visible postoperative result should not be attributed to PRP independently of the surgical treatment.
Zone 1
The restoration included the frontal framing region, contributing to the appearance of the hairline and anterior scalp.
Zone 2
Treatment extended behind the leading frontal region, creating continuity between the anterior restoration and the scalp farther behind it.
Frontal and Mid-Zone Views at 9 Months
Additional photographs provide different views of the treated frontal region and the transition through Zone 2. Viewing multiple angles helps provide more context than relying on a single result photograph.
An Interim Result Rather Than a Final Endpoint
These photographs document the patient's appearance approximately nine months after the procedure.
Because the follow-up remains within the postoperative maturation period, this page describes the case specifically as a 9-month result rather than presenting it as a final outcome.
Follow-up timing is an important part of interpreting hair transplant photography. Results photographed at different stages should not be compared as though they represent identical points in recovery and maturation.

A Graft Count Makes More Sense When You Know Where the Grafts Went
This case demonstrates one way approximately 3,000 grafts can be used for a frontal-focused restoration.
Here, 3,190 grafts were directed to Zones 1 and 2. Other patients with a similar graft count may have a different allocation involving the temples, forelock, mid-scalp or a staged restoration plan.
That is why graft count alone does not define the procedure or predict another patient's treatment plan.
This case does not establish that 3,190 grafts are appropriate for every patient seeking frontal restoration. Graft requirements depend on the individual treatment area, donor resources, existing native hair and restoration strategy.
Understanding This 3,190-Graft Salt Lake Case
How many grafts were used?
The documented procedure used 3,190 grafts.
Which areas were treated?
The documented treatment was concentrated in Zones 1 and 2 of the frontal scalp.
Who performed the procedure?
The procedure was performed by Dr. Craig Barton in Salt Lake City.
Was PRP used?
Yes. PRP was documented as adjunct support with the procedure.
When was the procedure performed?
The documented procedure timing is Summer 2024.
Are these the final result photographs?
The photographs shown here were taken approximately nine months after the procedure. The case is therefore presented as a 9-month follow-up rather than a final endpoint.
Does every frontal restoration require around 3,000 grafts?
No. Graft requirements depend on the size and location of the recipient area, donor resources, existing native hair and the individualized treatment strategy.

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.
