| The following is a description of a novel technique for placing follicular-units in front of a hair system in order to get the both of best worlds. Dr. Raymond Konior is very "hands on" and performs microscopically-prepared ultra-refined follicular-unit hair restoration with great results. From Dr. Raymond Konior: In the patient committed to wearing a non-surgical hair system, the integration of hair transplantation with the hair system can offset the limitations of either approach and combine to produce an aesthetically pleasing result. By utilizing the surgical and non- surgical techniques together, a select patient with extensive male pattern baldness can have the opportunity of achieving a more satisfying result as compared to the one who wears a hair system exclusively. There are several inherent weaknesses of a hair system in those with advanced balding. One can usually see a noticeable difference between the high density of the hair in the system and the low density along that person’s temple hairline. Also, the front of the hair system often appears too dense and abrupt to look natural, thereby requiring the system to be styled so as to disguise or hide the actual frontal hairline. An inherent weakness of a hair transplant in someone with class VI or class VII hairloss is the difficulty in restoring a full head of high density hair comparable to what existed prior to the appearance of hair loss. The donor hair in these advanced cases is often insufficient for harvesting the number of grafts per centimeter that would be required to restore the entire bald area to a pre-hair loss condition. In other words, when the donor area is insufficient, the results of the hair transplant will also likely be insufficient. Blending the advantages of a hair transplant with those of a hair system can eliminate the inherent weaknesses of each method. The hair transplant can restore a natural appearance to a receded temple and along the frontal hairline. The hair system can then be designed to rest just behind the restored hairline to give the appearance of full and natural density. While the results have been very promising, it should be noted that this is a novel approach and should only be utilized in properly selected candidates. |
