Difficult case, very nice FUE result - 3063 grafts

[Dr Devroye]

Here is a very interesting patient.


He is 34 years old, he began to lose his hair at 18. In spite of the use of Finasteride, the evolution was fast but it has led to a quite disadvantageous situation with a superior area completely bald and a donor area quite poor : less than 80 follicles per cm2.


The skin is visible throughout his hair. He wants to continue to keep his hair short, between 3 and 5 mm.


So, the situation was quite bad : poor donor area, large recipient area.


Anyway we decided together the try a FUE hair transplant and the result was extremely positive.


The FUE hair transplant was realized in two days. And we obtained 3063 grafts for 6780 hair. So more or less 2.2 hair per graft. All the anterior area was covered by a density of more or less 40 grafts per cm2.


We have planned to complete the surgery during the workshop I organize in Brussels on the 15th of June 2014.
(Here is the website : www.european-hair-transplant-workshop.com)


And we will use the hair of the neck and also take some beard's hairs which will be disperse in the middle of the current grafts.

Certainly a good improvement, I think this patient would be a excellent candidate for SMP thickening procedure, have you considered that option with the patient for a fuller look?

At this moment in time we are concentrating on hair only, after the final 12 months we will re evaluate the situation.
