High density Hair Transplant. Vertex, 3033 grafts/7823 hair - 4 months post-op.

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

High density Hair Transplant of a special pattern, results 4 months post-op.

 

This 55 years old patient presents a quite unusual baldness. In fact the vertex is almost totally bald while the rest of the hair is perfectly normal and shows no sign of miniaturisation.

Due to his age, the significant amount of hair available and the small area to be covered, we decided to make a high density ASMAP.

Strip dimensions: 26 cm * 1.3 = 34 cm2.

Starting density: 88 FU/cm2.

Estimation of the graft number: 34 * 88 = 2992 grafts.

 

Eventually, we had 3033 grafts for 7823 hair or a very high number of 2.58 Hair/graft.

This is due to the fact that almost half of the grafts had 3 or 4 hair.

193 FUT1 1361 FUT2 1027 FUT3 433 FUT4 19 FUT5.

 

The completely bald area measures 75 cm??. The covered area is about 100 cm2. So, the final density is about 80 hair/cm??.

 

The incisions are carried out according to the original orientation. There is a high density of incisions, and also the coupling technique (which consist in combining a Single with a FU2) was used.

The result after 4 months only is already impressive. All the grafted hair grew.

The structure of the hair is not perfect yet and the diameter is still a little weak but we can already see that the final density will probably be enough, and a second surgery will not be necessary.

Looks like solid early growth. Especially considering the grafts were placed in the crown area. Solid work as always from Devroye. Hopefully, you will be able to keep us updated as the patient progresses and see how is growth kicks in and continues!
