At Redefine Hair Transplant & Plastic Surgery Center, one of the leading hair transplant clinics in Mumbai, we understand that hair loss is a multi-dimensional concern, impacting not only appearance but also self-confidence and emotional well-being.

This case study highlights the transformative journey of a male patient with advanced pattern hair loss who sought expert care under the guidance of Dr. Harikiran Chekuri (MBBS, MS – General Surgery, MCh – Plastic Surgery, Gold Medalist), a renowned plastic and hair transplant surgeon known for delivering natural and long-lasting results.

Patient Profile: Male | Condition: Advanced Pattern Baldness The patient presented with extensive hair thinning and significant bald patches across the frontal, mid-scalp, and crown regions. This visible hair loss was not just an aesthetic concern; it had become a psychological burden. The patient reported lower self-esteem, avoidance of social gatherings and photos, and felt that his hair loss made him appear significantly older than his actual age. Despite trying various home remedies and OTC products for years, he saw no sustainable improvement.

Redefine, a specialized hair transplant and plastic surgery center in Mumbai known for natural-looking results, took charge of the case.

The Strategy:

• Comprehensive Analysis: Detailed evaluation of donor density and scalp elasticity.
• Design: Creation of an age-appropriate hairline to match facial proportions.
• Technique: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) was selected. This minimally invasive technique was chosen to ensure:
  • No linear scarring.
  • Quick recovery.
  • A natural “no-roots” appearance suitable for short hairstyles.

The procedure was executed with precision to ensure patient comfort and optimal graft survival.
1. Preparation: Routine blood tests were conducted, followed by photographic documentation and precise hairline marking.
2. Extraction: Under local anesthesia, individual follicular units were gently extracted from the safe donor zone using micro-punches.
3. Implantation: Tiny recipient sites were created at specific angles to mimic natural growth directions particularly critical in the crown area. Grafts were implanted to rebuild the frontal hairline and add density to the mid-scalp and vertex.

Every surgery presents unique hurdles. In this case, the primary challenge was balancing a large area of baldness with a limited donor supply.

• Strategic Distribution: To prevent over-harvesting, the medical team prioritized high-impact frontal density while strategically spreading grafts over the mid-scalp and crown to create an illusion of uniform fullness.
• Angulation Mastery: Special attention was paid to the crown “swirl,” ensuring grafts followed the natural pattern to avoid an artificial or “pluggy” look.

Timeline of Growth:

• 3–4 Months: Noticeable new hair growth began.
• 9–12 Months: Final density achieved.

Outcome: The transformation was significant. The “After” images reveal dense regrowth and a defined, natural hairline. The patient achieved uniform coverage that drastically reduced scalp visibility. Most importantly, he reported that he no longer feels the need to hide under caps or strategic hairstyles.

“I had been struggling with hair loss for years, and it was starting to affect my confidence at work and in my personal life. When I visited this hair transplant clinic in Mumbai, the doctor clearly explained my condition… The surgery was much smoother than I expected. Watching my hair gradually grow back was an amazing feeling—now my scalp looks full, and people tell me I look younger and more energetic.”
