Hair Transplant Case Study: 28-Year-Old Male, Norwood 4, 2,800 Grafts
The complete journey of one patient — first visit, examination and planning, hairline design, surgery day and the final result — documented at every stage.
- Norwood Grade 4
- 2,800 grafts
- 4 hour procedure
Patient's First Visit
- Age: 28 years
- Gender: Male
- Problem: Hair loss
The patient came to SkinQure with hair loss across the front and mid-scalp. Photographs were taken at fixed angles on the first day, so that every later visit could be compared honestly against the same baseline rather than against memory.
Doctor Examination & Planning
- Donor area quality: Very good — density +++, hair thickness +++
- Planned area: Front and middle
- Planned maximum density: 35–40 grafts/cm²
- Technique: EnRiched-FUE™
- Supportive Rx plan: Topical medication + 2 PRP sessions
Dr. Jangid assessed donor density, hair calibre and scalp health before deciding how many grafts could be moved safely, and how they should be distributed so the result still looks natural if hair loss continues later.
Hairline Design
- Total grafts: 2,800
- Hair loss grade: Norwood Grade 4
- Hairline single grafts (transition zone): 320 grafts — 100% of the hairline built from single grafts
- Total time taken: 4 hours
The first row of a natural hairline is made of individual hairs, never clusters. Using 320 single grafts across the transition zone is what stops the edge looking like a line of plugs.
Surgery Day
2,800 grafts were extracted and implanted in a single four-hour session using the EnRiched-FUE™ technique, where each follicle is placed almost immediately after extraction rather than being stored.
This photograph was taken at the end of the procedure. The implanted grafts are visible across the front and mid-scalp, following the angle and direction of the patient's existing hair growth.
The Early Result
Recovery was uneventful. The patient followed the supportive plan of topical medication alongside two PRP sessions, which helps protect the existing hair while the transplanted follicles settle.
Transplanted hair sheds in the first few weeks — this is expected and is not a failed procedure. New growth begins at around three to four months.
Final Result
The final result of the hair transplant performed by Dr. Jangid, compared against the baseline photograph taken at the same angle on the first visit.

Doctor's Note
“A classic case of grade 4–5 hair loss. Small round face, easy to execute. Good hair quality again gives a good result. The hairline was made age-appropriate and looked good on the face.”

Questions About This Case
How many grafts were used in this Norwood 4 hair transplant?
2,800 grafts in total, of which 320 single grafts were used to build the entire hairline transition zone.
How long did the procedure take?
Four hours, completed in a single session.
Which technique was used?
EnRiched-FUE™, where each follicle is implanted almost immediately after extraction rather than being stored, which reduces graft damage and improves survival.
What density was planned?
A maximum of 35 to 40 grafts per square centimetre across the front and middle of the scalp.
Why is the whole hairline made of single grafts?
Natural hair at the very front of the hairline grows as individual strands, not clusters. Building the transition zone entirely from single grafts is what makes the edge look soft and undetectable.
Was any other treatment given alongside the surgery?
Yes. The patient was placed on topical medication plus two PRP sessions to support healing and protect the existing non-transplanted hair.
When do results become visible?
Transplanted hair sheds within the first few weeks, which is normal. New growth begins at around three to four months and the result continues to thicken through to about twelve months.
Is this result permanent?
The transplanted follicles come from the back and sides of the scalp, which resist the hormone that causes pattern baldness, so they keep growing. Untransplanted hair can still thin over time, which is why medical support is advised.
