This 50 year old male presented a few years ago having had large 4mm old style plugs placed in what was then a relatively modest-sized bald crown (vertex). As the years went by, a "halo" of bald skin developed around the increasingly larger crown.
We did two sessions on him, and at each session we drilled out (using a 3.5mm rotary punch) all of the old plugs and sutured them with a fine stitch. At each session we also placed around 1300 FU's in the front half of his scalp and a few in the rear midscalp to help camouflage his old work.

Huge Improvement for this guy!
He looks 1000 times better. i cant imagine how he must have felt with those plugs.

No wonder they call old school HTs PLUGS! Nice work Doc Beehner.

I'm so glad there is a corrective procedure for the old school plugs. Good job Dr. !

Dr.Beehner bet your patient is ecstatic over your impressive corrective procedure. Great to be able to reuse precious Fu's in an area where they are needed.
