The Norwood scale describes male pattern baldness from grade 1 to 7. Your grade helps your doctor estimate how many grafts you may need and whether a transplant should wait. Women are assessed on the Ludwig scale.
These are typical, not fixed. Your exact graft count depends on your donor area and the density you want.
Early temple recession. Medical treatment often comes first, and a transplant may not be needed yet.
Clear recession at the temples. A hairline transplant may be considered if loss is stable.
More recession plus thinning at the crown. Planning must protect donor hair for future loss.
Larger areas affected. Coverage may be prioritised in the most visible areas.
Extensive loss with limited donor supply. Realistic planning matters, and body hair may be considered.
Grades I to III describe diffuse thinning at the crown. See female hair transplant.
Some patients need a hair transplant because of how their hair grows rather than how much they have lost.
Adding density in areas that are thin rather than bald.
Lowering a naturally high hairline to balance the face.
Reducing a very large forehead with a well-designed hairline.
Planning carefully with limited donor hair, and considering body hair.
Temporary shedding of existing hair after surgery, which usually recovers. Your doctor will explain.
See corrective hair transplant for repair of earlier work.
