PATIENT'S DETAILS

œ“ 33 years old, Diffuse hair loss pattern (Ludwig II), losing hair since the age of 23, with a hair loss history in his family (father NW VI).

œ“ Started taking Minoxidil 5% since 1 month before the surgery.

œ“ Medium caliber hair.

œ“ Normal follicular units.

œ“ Normal % of hair in telogen phase.



RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

This 33-year-old patient presented a diffuse thinning affecting the whole of his scalp.

Despite that, he is a very good candidate for a hair transplant procedure: his hair is slightly curly and his donor area is excellent.
Moreover, he had started taking Minoxidil 5% since 3 months before the surgery - even though the medication turned out to be not very effective for the patient.

We agreed upon performing an FUT procedure and the patient accepted to shave the whole recipient area, which allowed for a perfect work.
In this first session, we decided to focus on the frontal area and midscalp restoration, leaving the vertex untouched at this stage.
The procedure was carried out in June 2017, when he received 3556 FUT grafts.

As you can see in the pictures below, the patient has experienced a quite fast regrowth, since at the 7th post-op month mark the change in his look was already apparent.

The patient will come back for his second session next month of April.
His second procedure will consist in a combo FUT + FUE during two consecutive days with the aim of covering the vertex area.
We will not hesitate to share with you the pictures of his second surgery as soon as they will be available.

He looks very good.
Has the patient dyed his hair in the result pictures?

Thanks for your appreciation Tilleylamp.
We confirm that the patient hasn't dyed his hair after the surgery.
The patient's slightly darker hair color in the results pictures is mainly due to the higher hair density achieved after the transplant and to the fact that, before the procedure, the patient's native hair in the recipient area was largely miniaturized.

As mentioned in the original post, the patient came back in April to undergo his second surgery with the aim of covering the vertex and reinforce the density on the adjacent areas.

The procedure consisted in a Combo FUT + FUE, during two consecutive days, thanks to which we have been able to harvest a total of 3602 grafts (2550 FUT + 1052 FUE).

The patient has recently reached his 6th post-operative month and has sent in a set of pictures showing his current results. He is enthusiastic about the regrowth rate and the cosmetic improvements achieved so far.

On a side note, it is interesting to notice how the lighting conditions can significantly alter the perception of density (cf. the last two pictures at 6 months post-op, taken with flash, with the previous ones, taken under natural light).



SURGERY DETAILS

œ“ 3602 grafts

œ“ Technique: Combo FUT (2550 FUs) + FUE (1052 FUs)

œ“ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system, now widely used in the sphere of FUE.
It consists of a very precise pedal that enables to control the movement of the punch, that I also designed myself.
The main advantage is to reduce substantially the number of damaged and transected hair, thus to raise the quality of the procedure.
The system is now used worldwide and several dozens of surgeons or centres are already using it.

œ“ Incisions: 35-40/cm2

œ“ Grafts Breakdown:
˜ž 369 Single FUT + 472 Single FUE = 841 Single grafts
˜ž 1633 Double FUT + 445 Double FUE grafts = 2078 Double grafts
˜ž 548 Triple FUT + 130 Triple FUE grafts = 678 Triple grafts
˜ž 0 Quad. FUT + 5 Quad. FUE grafts = 5 Quadruple grafts

œ“ Total number of Hair: 5279 (FUT) + 1772 (FUE) = 7051

œ“ Average Hair/Graft: 2.07 (FUT) + 1.68 (FUE) = 1.87
