Premature results for a patient of 33 years old.

[Dr Devroye]

This patient is losing his hair since 9 years. Since then, he is using Minoxidil 5%.
The indication is very good because the hair is thin and curly.
Nevertheless, the density was not so rich.
We only transferred 2513 grafts. The ratio between the number of hair and the number of grafts is only 2.18.
The patient received 2513 grafts for 5489 hair.
The repartition is as follows: 458 FUT1, 1259 FUT2, 676 FUT3 and 120 FUT4.
The regrowth was incredibly fast. The result after 5 months is already very encouraging. Another intervention is foreseen soon; the aim will be to cover the crown.

Exceptional growth to date. How many grafts are planned for the crown?

 

[Dr Devroye]

As much as possible...but more seriously this patient did not have an exceptionally rich donor area.

Indeed, 2500 grafts for an ASMAP is not much, though it is the first intervention.

Fortunately, his hair quality (thick and curled) gives him a big advantage which explains the very good result though the grafts number is very limited.

I will probably reach 2000-2200 grafts for the second intervention, unless he strongly increases his donor area's density through massages.
