Dense-packing FUT - NW IV Class N - 6790 FU in 2 procedures

[Dr. Bijan Feriduni]

FUT performed on a 28 year old Caucasian male with:

 

- NW Class IV class N

- Donor density of 72 FU/cm??

- Hair diameter of 64 microns

 

Treatment plan:

 

- 1st procedure with 3200-3300 follicular units to reshape the face and fill in the mid head/crown area

- 2nd procedure with 3000 FU to fill in the temporal angles and cover up the complete crown area

- A medical therapy with finasteride to prevent further hair loss

 

1st procedure (December 19, 2008):

 

A Follicular Unit Strip Transplantation with 3650 FU

* 800 single hair FU

* 1640 double hair FU

* 970 triple hair FU

* 240 four hair FU

 

Donor closing in 2mm lower edge Trichophytic Closure Technique (double layer suture);

A combination of parallel (single hair units) and perpendicular incisions (double and triple hair units) in custom-sized blades technique (~Cutting Edge blades of 0,70mm ??“ 1,00mm);

Dense packing technique with a density of 45-55 FU/cm?? in hair line and feather zone (single hair units), a density of 50 FU/cm?? in density zone (double hair units) and a density of 10 FU/cm?? in the crown area (triple hair/four hair units).

The second procedure was already possible at 9 months postoperative thanks to the very high flexibility of the patient ??? s scalp.

 

2nd procedure (October 1st, 2009):

 

A Follicular Unit Strip Transplantation with 3140 FU

* 700 single hair FU

* 1500 double hair FU

* 900 triple hair FU

* 40 four hair FU

 

Donor closing in 2mm lower edge Trichophytic Closure Technique (double layer suture);

A combination of parallel (single hair units) and perpendicular incisions (double and triple hair units) in custom-sized blades technique (~Cutting Edge blades of 0,70mm ??“ 1,00mm);

Dense packing technique with a density of 45 FU/cm?? in the temporal angles (single hair units) and a density of 30-35 FU/cm?? in the crown area (double, triple and four hair units).
