Dr. Bijan Feriduni Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 FUT performed on a 45 year old African-American female with: - Donor density of ca. 45-50 FU/cm? - Hair diameter of ca. 70 microns Treatment plan: - A Follicular Unit Strip Transplantation with 1500 FU to restore the entire hair line Performed procedure (September 4th, 2009): A Follicular Unit Strip Transplantation with 1694 FU * 782 single hair FU * 682 double hair FU * 230 triple hair FU Donor closing in double layer suture; Donor strip extraction with The Haber spreader™; The average density is about 30 FU/cm? but thanks to the frizzy structure of the patient’s hair, the optic density looks very high, even at 9 months postoperative.

Dr. Bijan Feriduni Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks Spex, TakingThePlunge and Future_HT_Doc for your compliments! It is indeed very difficult to work with African hair. As you can witness on the pictures of the follicular units, they are very curved indeed which makes it really difficult to cut them to size with an increased transection risk. Best regards, Dr. B.
