A radical change after 10 months

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

This patient is 36 years old. He came for a consultation which has shown a slow and progressive increasing of the baldness happened in the last ten years.

 

He has been using Minoxidil 5% since 2009. He prefered to have performed the surgery with the FUE technique, even though I had suggested him to adopt the FUT technique which I find more appropriated to his situation.

 

Here are the reasons why: the donor area is very dense, he is not going to cut his hair short, the budget is not the same, and the FUT will give a better result in this case.

 

FUT - 31/01/2011

Number of grafts: 3174

Number of hair: 7351

 

Repartition: FUT1 = 565 ; FUT2 = 1316 ; FUT3 = 958 ; FUT4 = 320 ;

 

The final result is amazing.

 

By the way, the post op pictures come from the patient's camera that's why the angle is different.

That is a nice result! I'm sure he is stoked about his results!

Very nice doc. How much do you think meds contributed? Did he start Finasteride?

Dr. Devroye,

 

I agree, the results are excellent. The increased density and natural frontal hairline are truly "top notch." Nicely done.

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

Nine months ago, indeed, I advised the patient to use Minoxidil 5% and Finasteride.

 

Then he had the surgery, and after three months, he started the treatment.

 

Obviously, it is difficult to make the difference between the surgical treatment and the medical treatment.

 

When the patient will come for a consultation I will be able to pronounce me on this topic.
