: Dr. Mwamba - WHTC - 2000 grafts FIT 7 month results : Jessica.Mywhtc April 25, 2008, 06:19:25 AM This Norwood 3 patient (potential NW 5) came to Dr. Mwamba at the Brussels clinic in hopes of increasing density on the frontal hair line and to fill in a bit of thinning in the crown. Dr. Mwamba recommended Rogaine, Propecia, and HairCycle as well as a conservative 1700 grafts to the hair line. As the patient was just beginning to see some thinning in the crown area, Dr. Mwamba strategically placed 300 FIT grafts to the crown.
Placement onto the crown requires extreme precision due to the fact that it is a vertical plane and bears an illusion of low density. Grafting into a crown normally requires more donor hair to cover than any other recipient region on the scalp mostly because of the natural angles involved. Below are images of his current progress after just 7 months post-op. We are excited for this patient and overwhelmed with another successfully treated case.

Below are photos of the graft placement immediately after surgery.
