This nice fellow had had 7 previous transplants in 3 states, none by me. While I thought he looked pretty good from conversational distance(3-4 feet), he was concerned about lack of density along his frontal hairline.
We met a few times to discuss options and given his limited donor area, all scarred out from lots of non-parallel strip scars in the past, I recommended we excise 2 fairly thin lateral strips and place all singles along the hairline.
While I don't think this will dramatically change his appearance with his current hairstyle, I do expect a significant improvement along the hairline if he pulls his hair back, parts it differently, or gets a shorter cut.
