PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 38 years old, NW IVA, losing his hair since his 20s, with a hair loss history in his family (father, brothers, grand-parents). ✓ No treatments. ✓ Thick caliber hair. ✓ Strong follicular units. ✓ Average % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT Here we present another nice example of an FUE restoration for a 39-year-old patient. He was an ideal candidate for a hair restoration procedure : his hair loss was stable since several years (despite he never used hair loss medications) and his hair characteristics were excellent (wavy nature, salt and pepper colour). In June 2023 this gentleman underwent his FUE procedure to restore his hairline, temple corners and frontal area. The new hairline was carefully outlined following an age-appropriate design, so that the results will be natural both in the short and long terms. A total of 2932 FUE grafts have been used during this procedure. The patient recently sent in a couple of photos showing his evolution at the 7th month mark; he is understandably thrilled about the results achieved so far and we expect the situation to further improve during the upcoming 5 months, especially regarding the hair density and texture. As usual, we will not hesitate to update this thread as soon as new photographic material will be available. SURGERY DETAILS ✓ 2932 grafts ✓ Technique : FUE ✓ Donor area : Scalp ✓ 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. ✓ Grafts Breakdown : ☞ 507 Single FUE grafts ☞ 1483 Double FUE grafts ☞ 889 Triple FUE grafts ☞ 53 Quadruple FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair : 6352 ✓ Average Hair/Graft : 2,16 Dr. Jean Devroye – Dr. Barbara Montesanti – Dr. Samuël Jenard

PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 46 years old in 2016 (at the time of the first surgery), NW V, losing his hair for 10 years, with a hair loss history in his family (maternal grandfather). ✓ No treatments. ✓ Thin caliber hair. ✓ Fragile follicular units. ✓ High % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 46-year-old gentleman was losing his hair for 10 years when he came to visit me for the first time, in 2016. Since his hair loss was already quite advanced (grade V on the Norwood scale) and since the patient did not intend wearing his hair very short after the procedure, we decided to perform an important FUT surgery aiming at restoring as much thinning areas as possible. In June 2016, the patient received 4512 grafts - which allowed to rebuild his hairline and cover the front-mid sections of his scalp. In February 2023, almost seven years after his first surgery, he felt that it was time to complete his hair restoration journey by covering the vertex area. Dr Montesanti and Dr Jenard performed this procedure, this time with the FUE technique, during which 2503 grafts were transferred – for a grand total of 7015 grafts in two sessions. This amount allowed to cover the vertex area and slightly reinforce the mid-section as well. The patient’s evolution has been very positive, as you can appreciate below in the photos he submitted 8 months after the procedure. We expect the results to further improve, especially regarding the hair density, during the upcoming months. SURGERIES DETAILS 1st surgery : June 2016 ✓ 4512 grafts ✓ Technique : FUT ✓ Grafts Breakdown : ☞ 762 Single FUT grafts ☞ 2389 Double FUT grafts ☞ 1089 Triple FUT grafts ☞ 272 Quadruple FUT grafts ✓ Total number of Hair : 9895 ✓ Average Hair/Graft : 2,19 2nd surgery : February 2023 ✓ 2503 grafts ✓ Technique : FUE ✓ Donor area : Scalp ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system, now widely used in the sphere of FUE.

Hi Melvin, thank you for your comment.

PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 35 years old, NW IIIA, losing his hair since his 20s, with a hair loss history in his family (father). ✓ Taking Minoxidil 5% since several years. ✓ Normal caliber hair. ✓ Strong follicular units. ✓ Average % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 35-year-old fellow physician wished to restore his hairline, which was receding since many years. During the consultation, we recommended the patient to reinforce also the frontal area, in order to anticipate a potential loss on this area - which would have obliged the patient to undergo another procedure to cover this area for aesthetic reasons. A FUE procedure of approximately 2000 grafts was recommended to reach his objective. In September 2022, the patient received 2018 FUE grafts. You can find below his evolution until 1 year after the surgery. The patient is thrilled about his new look, here is a quote from his last email : “The evolution is very positive, I am very happy with the results : the density has improved, the result is very natural (according to my entourage and hair dresser). I have to admit that I am really happy to have made this choice and to have chosen you of this procedure.” SURGERY DETAILS ✓ 2018 grafts ✓ Technique : FUE ✓ Donor area : Scalp ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system, now widely used in the sphere of FUE.

Thank you all for your appreciation.

PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 51 years old, NW III, losing his hair since some years, with a hair loss history in his family (father and maternal grandfather). ✓ Started taking oral Minoxidil 4 months before the procedure. ✓ Normal caliber hair. ✓ Strong follicular units. ✓ Low % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 51-year-old gentleman came to visit us to find a solution for his receding hairline and temple corners. During the consultation, which took place 4 months before the surgery, he was advised to start taking oral Minoxidil to halt his hair loss and improve the overall hair quality. We agreed upon performing a procedure of approximately 2000 grafts and, given the fairly low number of grafts needed, the FUE technique was recommended. In April 2023, the patient received 2005 FUE grafts. The photos taken at the clinic 5 months post-op show an early regrowth and already remarkable improvements. During the next 7 months we expect the results to further improve, especially regarding the hair density and texture. As usual, we'll not hesitate to update this case as soon as new photographic material will be available.

Thank you for your comment Dr. Chaudhry.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, the price per graft is the same for both shaven and unshaven.

Good morning, There was a slight misunderstanding during our Skype call with OP. While it’s true that Dr Montesanti and Dr Jenard joined my team and have been trained personally by me since one year and a half, and already operate alongside me or independently, I do not plan to retire anytime soon. I will rather lower progressively my implication during the surgeries, however I will supervise the processes of all procedures. Dr Montesanti (https://www.hair-transplant-surgery.com/en/dr-montesanti) and Dr. Jenard (https://www.hair-transplant-surgery.com/en/dr-jenard) are high skilled MDs specialized in micro-vascular surgeries and the quality of their work is now on par with mine. I have just published a new case – a surgery performed by Dr Montesanti, Dr Jenard and me – to present my fellow physicians to the community : Kind regards, Jean Devroye

PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 56 years old, with a hair loss history in his family (father lost his hair on the vertex). ✓ Had already undergone two FUT surgeries in other clinics. ✓ No medications. ✓ Thin caliber hair. ✓ Normal follicular units. ✓ High % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 56-year-old gentleman had already undergone two FUT surgeries elsewhere when he came to see us in consultation. He was bothered by the loss on his vertex area. During the consultation we agreed upon performing a FUE procedure, +/- 1500-2000 grafts, in order to cover this area with a good density. Given the fairly limited amount of grafts needed, we did not need to shave the whole of his donor area but only a small strip, from where we harvested the FUE grafts – since the patient wears his hair quite long, this area was barely visible after the procedure. The implantation was performed without shaving the recipient area. The patient eventually received 1810 FUE scalp grafts, in just one surgery day. The surgery was performed by Dr. Barbara Montesanti, Dr. Samuël Jenard, and me. Dr Montesanti (https://www.hair-transplant-surgery.com/en/dr-montesanti) and Dr. Jenard (https://www.hair-transplant-surgery.com/en/dr-jenard) are high skilled MDs specialized in micro-vascular surgeries who have been trained by me and who work alongside me since more than one year and a half now. Every technical, medical task during each procedure is performed by a MD (anaesthesia, extractions, and incisions). The extractions and incisions processes are closely monitored via a sophisticated quality control system connected to my WAW System. The patient recently submitted some photos six months after the procedure, showing already a remarkable improvement compared to before the surgery. We expect the results to further improve during the next six months – especially regarding the hair density.

PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 24 years old, NW III, losing his hair since he was 17, with a hair loss history in his family (father and maternal grandfather, both NW III-IV). ✓ No medications. ✓ Medium caliber hair. ✓ Normal follicular units. ✓ Low % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 24-year-old patient wished to restore his temple corners, which were thinning since he was 17. Fortunately, no other areas of his scalp are affected by the loss; moreover, his family hair loss history shows limited loss as well, grade III-IV of the Norwood-Hamilton scale at the most. During our consultation we agreed upon performing a FUE procedure, consisting of approximately 2000 grafts in order to cover these areas with a high density. The patient eventually received 2101 FUE scalp grafts, in just one surgery day. You can appreciate below his evolution until one year and six months after the procedure. The patient is very satisfied with the results achieved.

PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 33 years old ✓ No medications. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 33-year-old gentleman since always lacked beard hair, especially on his cheeks and chin. He therefore wished to recreate a natural-appearing and fairly dense beard shape. Because of budget reasons, we decided to split his beard restoration in two separated sittings, the second being performed one year after the first one. In this patient’s case I have used a mix of scalp and beard hair during the first sitting, while the second procedure was performed employing scalp hair exclusively (due to the patient’s weak beard donor area). The patient submitted his last set of photos two years after the second sitting and is very satisfied about the results achieved. Below, you can appreciate his transformation in detail. For those who are interested in further examples and knowing more about beard transplants and the technique/philosophy behind them, I recommend that you visit the presentations at the following links, where the topic has been extensively addressed : https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/49768-dr-jean-devroye-hts-clinic-1124-fue-beard-reconstruction https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/51466-dr-jean-devroye-hts-clinic-1011-fue-beard-to-beard-restoration/ https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/60394-dr-jean-devroye-hts-clinic-1523-fue-beard-to-beard-restoration/ SURGERIES DETAILS 1st surgery – August 2018 ✓ 1291 grafts ✓ Technique : FUE ✓ Donor area : Beard + scalp ✓ Recipient area : Beard ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system , now widely used in the sphere of FUE.

Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated. I think that it will be possible to harvest at least 1000-1500 FUE grafts for his third procedure. These grafts will normally be placed in the central section of the vertex to reinforce and improve the situation. The "wispy" look should improve during the next 6 months, as the transplanted hair matures and therefore becomes more similar in texture to the patient's native hair. This maturation process can actually last 18 months, sometimes even 24 months.

. As mentioned in the original post, the patient was scheduled to undergo his second procedure to cover the crown area in December 2021. During this second sitting I have extracted and implanted 2486 grafts via FUE technique exclusively – which gives a total of 4724 grafts transferred so far in two separated sessions. You can find below the surgery details and the photos showing the patient’s evolution until one year after his second procedure. A three-steps approach was adopted for this patient: he will therefore undergo a third session in the future to further improve the current results.
