*Photos* Placing grafts in front of a hair system by Robert_ (created on )Gallery | Comments 
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.
