Scarred5 has asked if we can open his thread, explain his case and post the pictures taken and then he will update with his personal thoughts and feelings.
As most of you have probably read Scarred has had something like 20 procedures and several scar revisions. His hair characteristics are salt and pepper with around 40-50-60 density of follicular units per cm2 dependent on the area of the scalp. We discussed at length the day before and the morning of the procedure what were Scarred s main concerns, where his priorities lay and what long term was realistic and achievable. Some was a reality check for Scarred but it was important that he understood what was available now and future.
The main areas of concern for scarred5 was his hair line, temple angles/connecting to the sides and the frontal 1/3. His scarring in the donor he has been treating so it was not priority for this procedure. The occipital area and generally the back of the scalp was not open to harvesting due to covering the existing scars in the area leaving only the sides available, so realistically with the limitations of surface area and density very little donor.
Dr. Bisanga shaved down the sides and felt that safely he could extract somewhere in the region of 300-400 grafts; the left side being careful to avoid the scar area already filled by grafts from a previous procedure. A strip was an option but Scarred (with some understanding) declined this at this stage. Dr. Bisanga assessed the shaved nape but felt the hair quality was just too fine and miniaturised to make them viable to use.
The final count was 448 scalp FUE and a smaller number of beard hair taken from the side burn to assess the regrowth quality. The graft breakdown of hairs per graft is
1 Hair 227, 2 Hair 209 and 3 Hair 12
The result was to treat the left and right temple angles and recession points, as well as the left side addressing directional problems; this would allow for better framing of his face and natural angles and directions of hairs in the hair line and temples that he has not got now and restrict any styling, having to camouflage.
Here is a selection of pictures of the day and Scarred will give his say on his visit with Dr. B; just to say it was a pleasure to meet him and hope we could help in any way possible to improve his situation and Scarred feeling happier.
