Abstract

In the present case report, an adult man underwent three separate hair transplantation procedures over a course of 5 years, followed by one tattoo procedure 2 years after completion of hair transplantation, to conceal and prevent hair loss. Still unsatisfied with his hairline and the unnatural look of the tattoo, the man returned to discuss options for another operation. After doing so, he decided to undergo an alternative hair transplant surgery whereby 1,750 follicular units were removed from his beard (below the jaw line) and transplanted into his temple; the procedure both esthetically improved the patient’s hairline and camouflaged the tattoo.
