PATIENT'S DETAILS
31 years old, NW V-VI, losing hair since the age of 16, with a hair loss history in his family (paternal side).
Had a previous FUT procedure done in another clinic. Unknown number of grafts. Results not noticeable at all except for some pluggy grafts visible in the vertex area.
No medications before nor after the procedure.
Medium hair.
Normal follicular units.
High % of hair in telogen phase.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
The patient presented an extended hair loss (NW V-VI) and wished to get as much coverage as possible in a single session.
Since he wished to wear his donor hair short after the surgery, we decide to perform an FUE procedure consisting of 4225 grafts.
This amount of grafts has allowed us to rebuild the patient's hairline and to cover his frontal, midscalp and vertex areas with a very satisfying density. We took this opportunity to repair the scar resulting from his previous FUT as well.
The patient came for a check-up at the clinic at the 7th post-op mark, when his results were already remarkable as you can see in the pictures below.
One year after the surgery, he sent in another set of pictures and he's thrilled by the results he has achieved so far. It is important to underline that the patient hasn't taken any medications before nor after the procedure.
SURGERY DETAILS
4225 grafts
Technique: FUE
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.
Incisions: 35-40/cm2
Grafts Breakdown:
441 Single FUE grafts
2221 Double FUE grafts
1487 Triple FUE grafts
76 Quadruple FUE grafts
Total number of Hair: 9648
Average Hair/Graft: 2.28
