Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration Patient GBE came to us with thinning at her frontal hairline. Her journey with hair loss began after menopause when she noticed her hair was thinning. Patient GBE tried using Rogaine and shampoos to help with the thinning but decided to have a hair transplant for a more permanent result. Patient GBE experienced frequent migraines and wondered if she would experience migraines following the surgery. Patient GBE was happily surprised, not only that the surgery wasn’t painful, but most of all – that she didn’t experience any migraines. To Patient GBE, her hair transplant wasn’t only cosmetic, it was done to improve self-esteem and her all around wellness. Patient GBE, four years later, explains how the hair transplant has improved her emotional and physical comfort in professional and social settings.

Yes, whenever we attribute a result to a specific treatment all other variables must be held constant. For a patient on finasteride or minoxidil, we would wait a year before introducing a third therapy such as LLLT or PRP. Of the four treatments just mentioned, LLLT is the least effective, but it is useful in some patients, particularly those with large areas of diffuse miniaturization. The pattern of diffuse thinning is most commonly seen in women, but some men present this way as well.

There were slightly larger FUE grafts placed on the patient's left side (the part side) i.e., left-weighted, but the hairline was lowered more on the patient's right. Yes, the restoration was intentionally kept slightly asymmetric to keep it looking natural.

Yes, FUT would be the preferred option, but some patients just don’t want a strip. And patient’s may change their minds in the future and may want to cut their hair short. It is much easier to create additional feathering than to have to camouflage a linear donor scar. This is from observation. More difficult to extract.
-
Excellent comments. Feathering of the extraction zone in FUE is a technique where the distance between the extractions gradually increases as one reaches the border of the extracted zone. When this technique should be used depends upon the short- and long-term goals of the patient. If the patient’s main goal of the FUE procedure is to wear their hair very short, then the technique of feathering and rounding the edges to have a less distinct border is appropriate, as this will decrease the visibility of the harvested area. However, if a person does not wear his hair very short (nor plans to) and maximizing the donor supply is paramount, then a more organized pattern, with less feathering, will give a greater long-term yield and a more even distribution. The reason is that the healing of FUE wounds distorts adjacent follicular units making subsequent extraction in the same regions more difficult and increases the risk of transection. For this reason, in subsequent procedures we generally prefer to harvest in new areas. If we need to harvest more hair from the same area, we rarely go back more than once. When one feathers extensively in the donor area, this utilizes a larger surface area of the scalp with less graft yield, so it may become necessary to go back over the same area to obtain additional grafts, often multiple times. This risks increased transection and an uneven, mottled appearance to the donor area. If a person wears his hair very short, then feathering is critical (even though it makes subsequent extraction more problematic). It is very easy to feather and round edges with the ARTAS robot, but we make the decision to do so based upon the specific needs and goals of the patient.

Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration Patient RSI had a Robotic Hair Transplant using the ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant System, consisting of 1,930 grafts. He was a Norwood Class 4A with brown, wavy, medium-fine hair and a donor density of 2.7. Overview: Before / After: Before Hair Transplant After One Hair Transplant Detail of Hairline: The images below demonstrate the various steps in an FUE procedure. The patient elected to have his head shaved for the procedure but the marketing to definite the recipient area was made before his head was shaven because the existing hair serves as a guide to the doctor as to where to place the newly transplanted hair.

The first IMG shows a slanted scar in the donor area that he patient had as a child. The ARTAS robot has been programmed to avoid this scar while harvesting.
