Dr. Paul Shapiro 3448 FU grafts, 37 year old, Class V-VI 14 months post op[/b]
This 37 year old male had dark, coarse hair. His donor density was below average at 73 FU/sq.cm .
Our goal was to get as much donor as possible. He had average laxity and a 1.5 cm wide by 31.5 cm long strip was removed. A Trichophytic closure was used.
This yielded d3448 FU grafts and I covered an area of 110 cm.sq. to yield an average density of 31 FU/sq.cm
The hair count is as follows: total yield 3448 FU/6316 hairs
992 1 hair FU
2070-2 hair FU
360 3 hair FU
26---4 hair FU
The post op photos are done with the hair slightly damp because he has such thick hair it needed to be wet in order to comb it.
