This young patient, 29 years old of age , Norwood 5 in hair loss scale , with a strong family history of baldness came to see us to get full coverage from front to back .
Such surgery will require about 5000 to 6000 grafts .Because of the limitations of the usual donor area in FIT/FUE, we advised him to do it in two parts .During the first surgery, we will focus on the frontal zone and later on, in one year, we will address the back or vertex.
Because of his hair loss stage and the family history, we recommended him to follow our medical therapy protocol; it is a tritherapy based on combination of anti DHT (androgen modulator) plus anagen stimulators.
In this specific case, we only proposed anagen stimulators (the patient was concerned with the possible side effects of anti DHT):
1. LED therapy with the TRIWINGS
2. Help Hair vitamins and proteins
3. Rogaine foam once a day
Medical therapy purposes are to slow down hair loss progression, to improve hair quality characteristics (caliber and pigmentation) and in some cases to regrow hairs.
In this patient, we had a very good response and we postpone the next intervention in the vertex for later .Being on therapy allows him to avoid a second surgery now. 
In frontal zone, we did 3585 grafts by FIT shaven .At this stage; we should be at 60 % of the final result. We are expecting more hairs to come in the following months.
We will illustrate the pictures of our surgical protocol from hair design to 6 months post op dry and wet hairs:

NOW WE WILL SHOW WET PICTURES 
Great plan for this patient Dr.Mwamba and great to see the meds working. The work and result is looking great for only 6 months. I can't wait to see the final result of this case.
LED therapy with the TRIWINGS?
He must be happy with this 6 months out, i hope we get to see this at the final result.
Interesting case however the op is in great hands and looks well on his way to a great result.
Very nice and just goes to show, meds do help. I hope we see this result at 12 months.
