Dr. Paul Shapiro—3448 FU grafts, 37 year old, Class V-VI—14 months post op

This 37 year old male has dark, coarse hair. His donor density was below average at 73 FU/sq.cm .

Our goal was to get as much donor as possible. He had average laxity and a 1.5 cm wide by 31.5 cm long strip was removed. A Trichophytic closure was used.

This yielded 3448 FU grafts and I covered an area of 110 cm.sq. to yield an average density of 31 FU/sq.cm

The hair count is as follows: total yield 3448 FU/6316 hairs

992—1 hair FU

2070-2 hair FU

360—3 hair FU

26---4 hair FU

The post op photos are done with the hair slightly damp because he has such thick hair it needed to be wet in order to comb it.
