Thank you for reading along!

This patient came to see Dr. Arocha with a history of two previous keloid formations after some scalp procedures done by another physician. Dr. Arocha recommended that he consider doing an FUE to minimize the risk of developing a keloid with an FUT procedure. However, the patient insisted that Dr. Arocha perform an FUT procedure. Dr. Arocha complied with the patient's request and performed an FUT to restore his hair loss. Even though this patient had the tendency to keloid, he followed Dr. Arocha's post-operative instructions thoroughly and avoided a keloid this time around. This resulted in a fine, barely visible FUT scar. There are factors that increase the risk of scars widening or thickening. These factors include 1) increased scalp laxity 2) the risk of keloid in people with pigmented skin (asian, indian, middle eastern, etc...) 3) failure to follow guidelines to limit tension on the wound margins post surgery. The wound requires 6 to 12 months to mature. During this time, there is an increased risk of the scar widening if tension vectors are applied to the wound margins. This can be from progressive resistance exercises like squats and shoulder shrugs, or even using a pillow that predisposes to create tension on the neck. These tension vector forces are amplified in someone with very loose scalp. Therefore, it's vital to follow all post-operative instructions and precautions.

Hi Steeeve, My apologies for the delayed response. Finally showing some post-operative photos of this patient. Dr. Arocha worked in the temporal peaks. Post-op - Frontal View: Post-op - Side View: Post-op - Side View: Post-op - Donor Area:

Thanks, JC71! Dr. Arocha's artistic hair and beard transplant techniques allow for a result that is as natural as nature itself! Hence, subtle and undetectable. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Ha! Thanks, Melvin!

This patient came in for both a beard and hair transplant. He was experiencing diffuse thinning and wanted Dr. Arocha to add density to the hairline. Dr. Arocha worked in the sideburns, cheeks, goatee and mustache. The after images were taken 1.5 years after. He's coming back in to add some more to the hairline Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

Hi all - this patient came in to Arocha Hair Restoration for an FUE procedure. He was beginning to thin throughout his frontal third and wanted to re-establish a hairline. Dr. Arocha did a 1500 graft FUE procedure. These are early results at 4 months after the procedure.

Thanks for your comment. We tried showing some images with the hair in it's natural state as well as pulled back to show the diffuse hairloss. I've added some more images in this comment to show before images in the natural state.

Thank you!!

This patient came in for a 2000 graft FUE procedure with Dr. Arocha and team. Doc did a PRP treatment at the time of his procedure. The after results were taken 18 months after his procedure. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

Haha! We are still big fans of your beard, Melvin!!! Let us know if you ever want doc to add some grafts!!!!

Welcome back, Al/LaserCaps!!! We missed you these last couple of years.

Thanks, Gatsby! A completely new look for this patient!!! We love it.

I posted this beard transplant awhile back with some early, 4 month results. This patient recently sent in some updated photos, so I'm sharing what his beard transplant looks like nearly two years after he came in. This beard transplant was an FUE transplant.

This patient came in to restore his hairline and to increase density in the frontal temple areas. He's done two FUE procedures with Dr. Arocha - and the before images were taken before any of his transplants. For his first procedure, Dr. Arocha did a 1500 graft FUE procedure, followed by a smaller 1000 graft FUE procedure about 15 months after his first procedure. These after images were taken five months after his second procedure. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

Hello JohnAC71, thank you for taking the time to view and comment. Here are the images of the donor/ scar area. Donor area: Scar:

This patient came to Dr. Arocha because he wanted to restore the thinning in his temporal peaks and hairline. He underwent a 2500 graft FUT procedure, and we wanted to show you some of his early growth. At just four months he already has noticeable improvement, and we look forward to sharing his progress. Including a photo that was taken immediately post-op so you can see graft placement. Before: After: Before: Immediately post-op: After: Before: After:

In this first stage surgery, the focus was to restore the foundation, including the lateral humps and forelock areas. This has given the patient some styling options including parting on the sides and combing the hair back. Thank you for your observations and comments!

Thanks John!

This patient came to Dr. Arocha with severe and advanced male pattern baldness. He was a norwood 7. He underwent a smaller procedure of 2500 grafts (FUT). And, at 8 months, he's excited bout the improvement that he's had - and so are we. As soon as he has a mature result, he plans to come back in for a second procedure. We look forward to keeping you updated. Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After:

This patient came in for a follow-up visit four years after a 3000 graft FUT procedure. He's very happy with the framing improvement from his first surgery, and he's looking to enhance the front and work in the mid-scalp area, which has gotten thinner over the past four years.
