Traction Alopecia Case Study

This 35 year old woman had longstanding hair loss over the sides or edges of the scalp since she was age 15.
She reported a history of tight braids and had been unable to regrow the hair with medical therapy.
Dr. Rogers and her team transplanted a total of 1,360 1-4 hair follicular units from the back of her scalp to the both sides.

Her results are shown at baseline, 6 months, and one year after surgery. As with all patients, Dr Rogers has urged her to limit use of tight braids in the future to prevent this condition from recurring.
