Severely Bald Norwood 7 Patient Cured With Dr.UGraft BHT System

Article Updated January, 2024

This patient had suffered for years. Norwood 7 baldness had plagued his self-esteem, inflicting a constant feeling of embarrassment upon him. He’d used a toupee for some time to conceal his bald head but never felt satisfied. The toupee had become a source of embarrassment itself. He also did not want to shave his entire head. Instead, he thought that a hair transplant procedure would be the best course of action.

However, at the Norwood 7 stage, there was not enough hair remaining to produce noticeable improvements in his coverage. According to Dr.U, attempting to harvest grafts from these areas would leave behind depleted and thinned patches on the scalp, a phenomenon referred to as donor overharvesting.

This patient, therefore, decided to rely on Dr. U’s Dr.UGraft Zeus system for help. The technology’s ability to safely harvest non-head hair from the beard areas made it possible to transform this patient from a Norwood 7 to a Norwood 3 hair loss status.

Because of the patient’s baldness severity, he scored a 7 on the Norwood Scale—Dr. Umar recommended multiple non-head hair procedures to restore the patient’s coverage [1]. Dr. Umar consulted with the patient to develop a treatment plan and brief the patient on the results.

The below images show the extent of his NW 7 baldness.

Dr. Umar recommended 10500 Dr.UGrafts to restore the patient’s hair. The transplants would take place over two surgeries to ensure the best results. Dr. Umar then selected the head and beard areas [2] to provide the Dr.UGrafts and focused on thickening the hair on the crown and restoring a natural-looking hairline.

Dr. UGraft Norwood 7 Hair Transplant Before and After Photos:

Six months after his second procedure, the patient had a thick head of hair at the crown and a restored hairline to boot. The patient felt relief at the natural hair that had regrown on his head thanks to the Dr.UGraft FUE and said goodbye to his old toupee once and for all. The patient also began to look ahead to the future. Though Dr. Umar had restored his hair, the severity of the patient’s baldness had dictated that he would retain a high forehead and some erosion of the hairline at the temples. The patient decided he wanted even more hair and consulted with Dr. Umar to plan Dr. UGraft FUE further. The patient felt determined to have a full head of thick, dense, natural-looking hair. After seeing the results of the Dr.UGraft procedure, the patient knew his dream could one day come true.

The photos below highlight the restored hairline and crown.

Norwood 7 Frequently Asked Questions:

Is there such a thing as Norwood 8? If so, is Norwood 8 FUE hair restoration possible?

In this case, some would consider the patient to report a Norwood 8 as it is an extreme case of baldness. For those that support the existence of an NW 8 classification, the answer as to whether an NW 8 hair restoration is possible is yes. This patient is an excellent example of how it can be done using Dr. UGraft’s solutions for efficiently utilizing diverse hair donor resources. This can only be achieved consistently with the revolutionary tools and systems of Dr. UGraft’s tool kit and processes. As described, this case accomplished a restoration from classical Norwood  7 to Norwood 3. But many argue it is a case of a Norwood 8 to Norwood 3 hair restoration.

I’ve been told in the past that I don’t have sufficient donor hair to undergo an FUE hair transplant. Can Dr.UGraft help me?

Yes, in all likelihood. The versatility of Dr.UGraft allows Dr. Umar to perform body hair transplants, thus dramatically expanding the donor pool. This allows Dr. Umar to rebuild ahead of full, natural-looking hair using various sources from all over the body, not just the head. Dr. Umar uses a sense of skill and artistry to reconstruct a head of hair for the best look possible.
