HDC Hair Transplant Clinic- 2050 grafts Beard – Healing of the Donor

Alex1

Hello Everybody,



This is a case of a patient that was performed by HDC €™s medical team. The extraction took place in 2 sessions over a 2 month interval.



1[suP]st[/suP] surgery was for 850 beard grafts

2[suP]nd[/suP] surgery was for 1200 grafts

Total of 2050 grafts



What I want to present in this thread is the healing of the beard donor area, immediately post op and during the week that follows.

Also I want to point out that the grafts were removed evenly over the whole beard area without leaving gaps in any part.

The beard has been thinned throughout evenly and it looks so natural without signs of surgery.

This is a very good example that shows that we can harvest over 2000 grafts from a good beard donor in order to expand our patient €™s donor capabilities when required easily.



We will present the whole case of this patient later in another thread were over 7000 FUE grafts in total were extracted as he was a class 6 on the Norwood scale.





Regards

Alex

Wow that looks amazing, his beard area looks untouched 6 days post op on the clean shaven pic, is this the norm for your beard patients or is he a quick healer?

We don't like to extract grafts from above the chin but it's great to see there's no scarring. ¬b`
What size punch is used for beard hair? Thanks for sharing the clear pics.

What %'s do clinics work to in regards beard donor maximum extractions per cm2. Is it feasible that 100% could be taken if the patient had no desire to grow a beard.

This is the type of work that should be applauded. Restoration using real hair and by all indications a very small punch, nice job.

Hi HairHunter,



We usually extract up to 50% of the beard grafts in two sessions. To be honest we have never attempted to extract all 100% however we believe that if you do so in a dense beard then you will leave visible scarring as some tiny white dot scarring will be joined together.

Alex

Hi Diffuse,



I cannot be exact on a percentage as it varies from patient to patient however it is a little less than the scalp hair. At HDC we will not charge or even attempt to place beard or scalp grafts that were transected.
