Getting a more natural looking and natural feeling frontal hairline restoration requires precision, as well as the right planning techniques before the surgery. With the help of Dr. Sanusi Umar and his UGraft Advanced FUE techniques, a patient was able to see full coverage with no signs of transplantation. To see the full video, click here: In the video above, Dr U’s patient displays his astonishing results after his first and only hair transplant surgery using head and nape hair transplantation. Prior to his surgery, the patient was living with severe patchy baldness and overall thinning all over the top of his scalp. Using these two techniques, the patient saw a new hairline and overall coverage in his scalp: · Dr U’s FUE Shave Test established that the nape hair was a safe and promising donor site for transplantation. · The use of 3,000 nape and head hair UGrafts The FUE Shave Test has been successful for many patients in locating the different viable areas on the head as the best options for hair transplant. Obtaining a natural frontal hairline restoration can be accomplished when using the fine, delicate nape hair. It allows for the creation of softer and full looking hairlines. Dr U’s state-of-the-art, patented UGraft Advanced FUE method has widened the varying locations to the consistent and credible use for donor areas on the head and neck, as well as the body. For patients who do not pass the FUE Shave Test that allows the use of nape hair, Dr U achieves similar goals by using finer body hairs in recreating the vanguard hair of the hairline and temples. Finer body hairs also illustrate a soft, undetectable natural look as shown in from several years ago. After 12 months, this patient can attest to the natural looking results he experienced following his transplant surgery. Photos The following photos illustrate the results this patient gained.

Hello David, Thank you for catching my mistake. It is indeed 5 months as indicated in the video proper!

You can also view the video by clicking URL: Without the right guidance, many hair transplant patients can fail to realize that a clinic may be ill-equipped to give the best type of treatment until it’s too late. Many times, hair transplant clinics often do not have the updated technology or foresight to map out the patient’s treatment. The video above shows the results of how unequipped clinics have left a patient with visible scarring and continued baldness, as well as how Dr. Sanusi Umar was able to help him correct the damages using Advanced FUE by the UGraft method. The unfortunate mistakes made by the clinic could have been avoided using a more advanced FUE method. With the use of body hair as a donor source, Dr U has shown success in repairing these hair transplant mistakes. • Poor planning, which lead to a poor yield • Overharvesting from only the patient’s head hair source • The results of overharvesting left the patient with surgery scars and unnatural looking hair Dr. Umar’s Advanced FUE using the UGraft system has shown promise in avoiding overharvesting non permanent hair which would lead to poor yield by using the “FUE Shave Test - FST” (which he first described in a recent publication in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal). Prior to surgery, the FUE Shave Test is used to fully determine the type of head hair donors that can successfully used. FST is a more dynamic way to determine the so called "safe donor area - SDA". It recognizes the fact that the true SDA varies from one balding patient to the other. Over a ten-year span, Dr. Umar has consistently been improving the techniques and procedures using the UGraft FUE system to ensure that overharvesting is no longer a trend. After only five months the patient saw fuller coverage with Dr. Umar’s UGraft FUE system, as illustrated in the following photographs. PHOTOS The photos below illustrates before and 5 months after the patient visited with Dr. U Dr U was able to use the Advanced FUE by UGraft system to extract 6,000 grafts from the patient’s chest, and beard to craft the patient’s hair.

The video above illustrates the subject of hair loss progression after hair transplants poignantly. Since hair loss is progressive, often time additional surgery is required to catch up with the effects of time at a later date. Importantly, it highlights what credible hair transplant clinics and doctors should discuss with all hair transplant patients at the time of first consultation. The patient should be given the full picture so they are able to make a rational decision with their long term interests and goals in mind. The younger the patient is at the time of surgery, the more time should be spent on this aspect of the consultation due to their unpredictable hair loss progression course. Read more about Dr U’s approach to hair transplantation in younger patients here. After reconciling with the aforementioned variables discussed with Dr U for younger individuals, the patient in the video received 3200 grafts 8 years ago at the age of 26 from the nape area to restore receded temples and reconstruct his hairline. After 8 years, the patient told Dr U he’s still thrilled at the impact the surgery has had in the 8 years since his surgery, according to the patients’ own words in the video. He inquired about doing a touch up surgery within a year or 2 to catch up with his hair loss progression. The following photos illustrate the patient’s visits with Dr. U, including his incredible results after the initial surgery and how he looks and feels about it all today. PHOTOS The photos below show his progress over an 8 year span. His original surgery added hair to his temples and advanced his hairline. All hair transplant surgeries are done with the understanding that touch up surgery will most likely be needed further down the road. 8 years ago, Dr. U performed his FUE Shave Test to determine whether the patient’s nape hair would make a suitable donor area. The patient was deemed eligible, which ensured incredible results. After 8 years, however, this patient’s new and old hair were creating a noticeable divide. Dr. U was able to perform touch up surgery to correct the imperfections and restore the patient’s confidence. See the patient’s progress and transformation through 8 years here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrPQWPePb0g In the above video, you will see a patient who had undergone hair restoration surgeries in the 90s. This surgery left him with harsh and pluggy looking hairline. He was also left with a bald crown which he wanted to cover up by combing over hair from his hairline, but he could not do so because this would expose its plugginess. Thus, his priority was to soften his hairline for a more natural look so he could grow the hair long enough to comb over and cover the bald crown. Using his already described “FUE Shave Test”, Dr. U was able to determine that this patient qualified for the use of nape hair as a donor source. 1500 grafts were taken from the back of the head and nape areas to advance his hairline, as well as creating a more natural looking hairline and temple. PHOTOS The photos below illustrate the patient’s progress after only one year: Because of his radically improved hairline, the patient is now able to comb his hair backwards to cover the bald crown. In doing so, he avoids having to undergo crown restoration surgery and is able to conceal other thinning areas.

Here is relevant new information on this discussion: Dr U has objectively presented his findings on the use of nape hair in transplantation in a peer reviewed journal. In it, he describes how to screen for suitable candidates and the outcome of such methods in 128 patients.

This patient had previously underwent surgery at a different facility before seeing Dr. U. His hair was still thin and he was left with a surgery scar on the back of his head. Dr. U performed FUE Hair Transplant by UGraft to address that patients concerns: GRAFT BREAKDOWN 1226 grafts of head and nape hair 2293 grafts of beard hair After only 12 months, the patient was fully healed and extremely pleased with his results. The hairline was reconstructed to create a more natural and fuller appearance. Dr. Umar added density overall to the patient’s head hair and a more natural and seamless hairline transition that improved the patient’s overall hair aesthetic. The patient described his experience as “under stated and over delivered.” VIDEO A video of the case is shown below: In the video above, the patient describes how a hair surgery sales person was unaware that he had even received any type of surgery.

This patient suffered from severe Norwood 7 stage baldness, even after undergoing numerous surgeries. He also had a noticeable surgery scar on the back of his head. Luckily, Dr. U’s UGraft body hair restoration system gave this man a more natural head of hair and a camouflaged strip scar. Watch video for better illustration of his results GRAFT BREAKDOWN · 5651 grafts of beard hair · 1341 grafts of chest hair · 696 grafts of abdomen hair · 335 grafts of armpit hair By utilizing other sources of hair, Dr. U was able provide successful results from a patient with very little hair on his head as a donor source. VIDEO A video of the case is shown below:

This patient received a hair restoration at the Norwood 6 stage of baldness. With the use of head, beard and chest hair, Dr. U was able to create a very natural hairline and temples. According to Aesthetic Surgery Journal by Dr. U, nape hair is more suitable for natural hairlines. Use of Nape and Peri-Auricular Hair by Follicular Unit Extraction to Create Soft Hairlines and Temples: My Experience With 128 Patients | Aesthetic Surgery Journal However, not all patients have sufficient nape hair. Dr. U offers a FUE Shave Test that is used to determine if a candidate is a good fit. Usually to be suitable, a candidate must have finer head hair with potential for long term survival. In this case, the patient failed the Shave Test.

This happy patient had visited Dr U for a transplant to restore her loss of hair in the temporal areas particularly in the left side. The hair loss is attributed to traction alopecia which is a condition caused typically by grooming conditions that result in a chronic pulling force on hair roots. Such grooming actions include the wearing of braids, weaves and pony tails After failing to see result from the use of minoxidil she decided to consult Dr U about a transplant. Since only a small area was involved Dr U recommended and used only 200 grafts from the back of her head to restore her left temple loss. Dr U used his patented UPunch and UGraft revolution FUE technology to perform the work. VIDEO To watch a very illustrative video of her case, click this link: The patient is thrilled with her result.

This gentleman initially tried to conquer his male pattern baldness through a strip procedure performed at another clinic. However, his results were very disappointing. The operation exhausted his head donor supply. Yet, many of the inserted grafts did not grow. Thus, his crown continued to be bald. Some growth did occur on top of his head. But this created an unusual wall of hair in front of the crown. Furthermore, the strip scar was an additional source of worry as the patient did not want other people to notice it. In order to conceal the scar and cover the areas of missing hair, more donor grafts were needed beyond the quantity that remained on his head. Therefore, the patient felt that a body hair to head transplant was a very logical choice for achieving his objectives. 4213 Grafts of Head and Beard Hair Since Dr. U had developed technology specifically for body hair extractions (i.e. UGraft ™ Revolution) and possesses an extensive track record of tangible patient success stories, the patient decided to chose our clinic for his procedure. Dr. U removed the following types of follicles to create an overall donor supply of 4213 grafts. (1) 1472 grafts of beard hair (2) 2741 grafts of head hair Hair was carefully inserted into the crown, temples, hairline and strip scar to produce the results shown in these before and after images. The patient was quite happy with his results which put an end to his awkward growth pattern and continued baldness prior to this repair. Also, the insertion of grafts into his strip scar gave him the confidence to once again engage in his favorite water sports, like swimming and water skiing. Watch his video below to learn more about his procedure and listen to his feedback.

Hi MAGNUMpi! These are great questions that you posed. RE: Anticipating a Norwood 6-7 level of hair loss, and considering BHT early on Most patients destined for NW6 - 7 would show evidence of early signs of significant thinning that is not congruent with what their young age. Often this is evident as early as in the 20s. Apart from this consideration, and family history, Dr U uses a test he calls a "Shave Test" before performing FUE. In this test shaving the donor area reveals distinctly contrasting densities between the so called safe donor areas and the non safe donor areas. In patients destined for NW 7 especially, a line of demarcation is often visible by the mid 20s. Dr U's study on this subject is about to be published in a major plastic surgery journal. In such patients, Dr U recommends the appropriate integration of BHT in HT from the outset. Dr U is not a proponent of first exhausting the head donor before the use of BHT in such patients. RE: Question: "Would the pictured patient have been looking normal if he had gone for FUT to begin with" No. As a matter of fact, of the 3 patients shown in this video, only the first one had FUE surgeries to begin with. The later 2 patients had only FUT surgeries before running out of options and going to Dr U. If you are interested in learning more about the patients shown in the two photos, here are their videos:

There are many types of patient cases which require more grafts than what can be supplied by the donor follicles on the scalp. And this can be problematic when conventional hair transplant surgical methods are used, where the scope of expertise is limited to only performing extractions on the scalp. At our clinic, many of our repair patients seek help for typical issues such as: 1. areas where grafts from previous procedures failed to grow 2. misplaced or awkward looking insertions that have a detrimental effect on the patient’s appearance. However, another issue that we often see is the over harvesting of grafts on the back and/or sides of the head in an attempt to cover severe areas of baldness with the use of only head hair donor. This results in linear areas of emptiness, or wider looking areas of missing hair in the head donor regions. Excessive Donor Harvesting and the Need for More Grafts In these cases, previous surgeons attempted to meet the pressing demand for improved coverage by extracting an excessive number of donor hair grafts from the scalp, creating the additional problem of barren areas in the back or sides of the head. However, it is important to maintain the awareness that except in some extraordinary cases where donors are above normal; the scalp can typically only offer a maximum range of 5000-7000 grafts. For most patients with NW 6-7 hair loss level, this is inadequate to offer credible global coverage. The best that can be hoped for with head hair only surgeries in these cases would be NW 3ish hairlines with very sparse to empty crowns. Patients requiring youthful hairlines with global coverage and density should be looking to supplementing their donor with body hair transplants. Recently, Dr. U addressed the issue of exceeding the head donor limits in Follicular Unit Extraction surgery through this video. To view more videos where Dr. U explains common phenomenon in hair restoration or provides answers to frequently asked questions visit this video playlist:

Hi Ben, Dr. U uses hair from all parts of the body. Determinations on the different graft types are made on an individualized case by case basis. Some common factors include: available quantities, coverage goals, need to create fine detail (e.g. evenness of texture, gradual transition from thin to thick hairs). Body hair is certainly capable of lasting long term. Here is an article from our site with an actual patient example and additional detail which you may find useful. Click here and read (towards the bottom) the sections, entitled: (1) Factors Influencing the Longevity of Leg and Body Hair Grafts (2) Body Hair Transplant (BHT) Does Not Mean The Use of Beard Donor Only: The Importance of Including Softer, Thinner Grafts In Hair Transplant Surgery Dr. U performs his BHT surgeries using specialized FUE extraction technology that he developed called UGraft. Here is an animated video which explains how it works. The features have been designed to safely remove sharply angled follicles, such as those found on many body surfaces. Also the punch creates wound cavities with a specific shape that promotes higher standards of healing on the skin. Any scarring that occurs is typically cosmetically insignificant. We have many examples of patients who have agreed to be featured via photo and video who have had thousands of grafts extracted from their face or other highly visible area, and yet are able to feel confident about their appearance due to the quality of healing that resulted from their surgery. Here is one such example: Hope this helps.

Hi Win200. Before seeing Dr U, The patient had from 2 other clinics, 5290 FUT grafts and 200 FUE for a NW 5. The result is the before pictures in this presentation. He was not happy with the coverage, the strip scar and hairline finishing. Of the 4500 UGrafts used by Dr U in this patient over 500 went into camouflaging his FUT scars. The NW5 area was addressed with about 4000 UGrafts by Dr U

Hi Sean, Generally for temple areas; Dr U uses one of the following: 1. Head and nape hair (if the patient qualifies for using nape hair) or 2. Head and nonbeard body hair (for patients that are not good candidates for nape hair use). In this case the first approach was adopted. Generally anywhere from 300-700 grafts would be sufficient for temple-hairline refinement work

Blake: Here are close up photos of beard area. The chin is fine. He has mostly grey hair in his beard and the areas with black hair stubble are mostly in the chin area. That is what you are seeing. They are not scars. Down his neck, there are black hair stubble, but they are fewer.

This patient initially came to our office to repair the results of a strip surgery which left him with a linear scar, continued Norwood 6 baldness and a depleted donor supply. Achieving the type of coverage he wanted required about 6000 grafts. The majority of these follicles were extracted from the beard areas. This year, the patient had his second procedure with Dr. U to further improve upon his density. The recent later surgery was performed using 2000 additional grafts, bringing his exact total for both sessions to 8047 grafts harvested from the following areas Scalp (3178 grafts) Beard (4525 grafts) Nape (344 grafts) Here are before and after photos: In this video, Dr. U discusses the different areas of the patient’s procedure that were targeted. This includes his hairline and temples which were designed and created through a very and meticulous approach to ensure a very gradual and seamless transition to the rest of the hair. Overall, the patient’s final outcome were contingent on two main factors: (1) coverage (2) detailed placement of the graft insertions The extent of coverage was of course dependent on the vast graft quantity which was extracted. Given the patient’s depleted donor supply, this quantity was made possible through the use of Dr. U’s UGraft technology. This instrument is designed for the safe harvesting of follicles from the beard area as well as optimized wound healing results. Beyond extractions, the natural looking quality of the patient’s outcome was due to proper planning and Dr. U’s ability to recreate realistic growth patterns unique to the patient through specific slit creation parameters. if the player is not displaying

Hi BUSA, Within the actual body of the post, I had explained that the donor pool used on this patient was a hybrid of head, nape and beard hair. But thank you for pointing out the issue with the title. When I wrote the title, I did not intend to mislead. I was trying to include as much information as possible. But in my efforts to condense what I originally wrote to fit in the title space, I missed subtle nuances that would cause the reader to interpret it in the way that you had pointed out. I do notice what you are seeing and will be making changes to better clarify the post. Additionally, here is the graft breakdown: Head 2596 Beard 1709 Nape 179

This patient sought Dr. U’s help to repair undesired results from a strip surgery performed at a different clinic. Errors included: (1) linear scar (2) disappointing growth (3) pluggy strands Ideally he wanted to achieve abundant global coverage as well as a youthful looking hairline. However, his strip surgery had exhausted many of his donor grafts. And what remained on his head was not enough to create his vision. Therefore, compiling body hair became a necessary step to create the donor supply for a truly successful repair procedure. 4500 Grafts Made Possible Through Beard Hair Due to Dr. U’s capability and experience to harvest large quantities of body hair, the patient decided to choose him as his surgeon. Dr. U is the inventor of UGraft, an Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction technology which was designed with specialized features to safely remove many types of hair follicles so that they can thrive and produce long term growth. Coupling the use of this instrumentation along with Dr. U’s hair transplant expertise, the patient was able to benefit from a donor pool of 4500 grafts. These consisted of beard, head and nape hair. 12 Month Update This patient is continuing to experience the growth of his body hair transplant surgery. At 12 months, he is able to enjoy a renewed personal appearance with excellent growth to cover his linear scar, crown and the top regions of his head. And furthermore, he is able to sport an amazing and youthful looking hairline and temple points. Here are before and after photos: Watch his video to learn more about his exciting progress.

Thank you David for fostering an atmosphere of fairness in the community. Our office made an attempt to determine whether or not the user known as Gram was indeed treated by our clinic. However we were not able to find any support to verify his status as our patient. As a clinic, we take our patient follow-up very seriously and are always looking for their input on the work they had done. But we need to establish the authenticity of someone claiming to be our patient.

Dr. U’s patient, also known as “Sofarsogood” (on the hair transplant forums) is the world’s first recorded case where leg hair was transplanted as grafts for hairline restoration. He had undergone strip surgery at another clinic. Due to the thickness of hair that was used, the edge of his hairline developed a very pluggy looking appearance. He attempted to keep this hidden by growing the front layers of his hair long and keeping it combed forward. Ultimately he decided to undergo a hair transplant repair surgery and chose Dr. U as his surgeon. Using his signature UGraft technology, Dr. U extracted 1025 grafts of leg hair. These were inserted into a 0.5-1.0 cm margin around the patient’s hairline. Why Leg Hair? Leg hair is much thinner compared to regular head hair. This quality is then able to render a softness which closely resembles the edges of natural hairlines and temples. Because the hairline and temples frame the face, they tend to receive considerable attention from other people. A common complaint that patients express is receiving stares by onlookers which are directed at their surgically crafted hairline. The use of thick hairs tends to produce very precise edging which can look rather contrived. Leg hair, on the other hand is able to create the the irregular fuzzy contour which borders the hairlines and temples of those unaffected by pattern hair loss. Patient After 9 Years “Sofarsogood” underwent his hairline restoration back in 2006. His procedure was even featured in JAMA Dermatology in an article published by Dr. U called, “The Transplanted Hairline: Leg Hair For Improvement.” At the four year point, the patient’s hairline continued to thrive. This year of 2015 is the 9th year following the patient’s surgery. He has recently contacted us and sent these photos showing how his hairline has held up in all these years. Read more about his update and the longevity of body hair grafts here.

This post represents a two year update (since his last procedure) for a patient of Dr. U who received 6300 grafts of beard, head and nape hair. He continues to show abundant coverage as well as improvement in the repair results of his strip scar which gave him the confidence to wear his hair even shorter. Also he proudly wears a soft facial stubble since there are no obvious signs of surgery despite the 4300 grafts that were extracted from this region. His initial intent was to correct the mistakes made by a previous strip transplant procedure performed at another clinic. However, this operation resulted in poor growth along with a linear scar. His objective of restoring full global coverage was not feasible through conventional methods which can only use grafts taken from the scalp. Since Dr. U developed UGraft as a reliable means for acquiring additional donor follicles from body and beard regions, the patient decided to choose this type of surgery. A Renewed Hairline, Temples Crown and No More Strip Scar Worries With the 6300 grafts, Dr. U replenish the patient’s coverage and created a youthful looking hairline along with matching temples to best frame his face. Beard hair follicles were inserted into the strip scar tissue to obscure the empty line on the patient’s scalp. He had previously tried to keep this hidden by wearing his hair in long shaggy lengths. But the successful repair with facial hair insertions enabled him to feel bold enough to cut his hair in a short buzz cut style. During his prior visit to our clinic, he had his hair cut short in a classic conservative style. But in 2015, he felt even braver by cropping his hair much shorter as the strip scar has become much less visible. Amazing Healing of the Beard Area The donor areas of the patient’s face and healed in a most excellent and pristine manner despite experience the extraction of 4500 grafts. In his update video below, Dr. U asked him what his thoughts were upon seeing his chin in the mirror. He answered, “It looks normal. There is no scar.” Also Dr. U selected the beard hair grafts in a such a way to avoid creating obvious patches of missing hair. Many men enjoy sporting soft stubble on their face, or even a fully grown beard. Therefore, the strategic and diffuse removal of follicles is essential for enabling this. Watch this patient’s latest video and read more about his case here.

@Heliboy- Thank you for the detailed sharing your experience. @BUSA and @Hairweare: On fees: The cost of surgery is not discussed here as these are private matters between patient and Dr. So your assumptions are speculative at best. BTW Dr U has been doing BHT for about 10 years now with consistent results. Back then several of the clinics you are praising lobbed stones at him for implying that BHT works! and now? The typical candidates have been butchered prior to seeing Dr U with no recourse. Some have been laughed out of several clinics. Dr U has done several pro bono and heavily discounted surgeries in several instances out of empathy. There are always cheaper clinics for every work/service, but some have established their reputation over the years and patients expect it would cost more to go to top notch clinic. Dr U is often the answer were the margin of error is zero. Many of his patients were in fact referred by some of the recommended Drs (or their patient reps) on several of these hair forums. Some of these patients had returned to Dr U after succumbing to the lure of cheaper surgery (elsewhere) with dismal results. Many of the patients in our videos have had failed BHT attempts elsewhere. @BUSA Please refer to my earlier post from 4.10.15 where I discuss the hair texture of BHT surgery patients. With the right styling techniques, more natural looking textures can be achieved. I even posted several examples of our patients who illustrate this. This particular patient featured in this post has been advised by our clinic on the use of products like gel. But he has chosen to wear his hair as it is featured in his video. We are not here to judge or criticize the grooming preferences of our patients. It is after all, their personal choice. And in the 4.10.15 post, I also point out that the patient himself is extremely happy with his repair results. This is quite evident in his verbal feedback included in the video. Opinions on hair transplant results will always differ among onlookers. But if the patient is happy with their outcome that is all that matters. @ontop Are such "over-the-top" personal insults warranted here? Again the patient in his own voice (see video) disagrees with you..it would be helpful if civility prevails here. Reading what has already been articulated before posting such comments helps In any case, here are more of Dr U's BHT results, from patients who I am sure would vehemently disagree with your comments. 12,000 grafts Norwood 7 10,500 grafts extreme NW 7 15,000 grafts NW 6 9000 grafts NW 6 with repair: 14000 grafts NW 6 with repair 9000 grafts NW 6 repair 6000 grafts NW 5ish 5000 grafts buz cut and repair
