Senior Member Dr. Carlos Wesley Posted November 30, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2011 At age 34, this patient had already taken Propecia for 5 years. Although it slowed the progression of his hair loss in the vertex (crown) and midscalp, the effect of the medication was decreasing. A session of 1933 micrografts throughout his crown provided ample coverage as seen about 20 months postoperatively. Coverage of this diffuse area of thinning also addressed the periphery of the crown (outer concentric circle) that will continue to thin in the future. While his coverage is markedly improved, the acute angles of hair in the crown may necessitate two sessions to have a dense vertex.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted November 30, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2011 Good result..subtle result? What exactly do you mean by micro grafts? Also, how is your research going on the "scarless" strip surgery? Newhairplease!!

Senior Member Mountinvan Posted December 1, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2011 How many more grafts for full coverage? Was this FUE or FUT? I am assuming FUE or more grafts would have been used for full coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Carlos Wesley Posted December 2, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks for your comments. The graft breakdown from this FUT session was as follows: 1s - 542 2s - 1015 3s - 297 FFs 79 Total 1933 Things are well on the research front. We are about 2.5 months into the clinical trial for the scarless harvesting method. Our office looks forward to presenting our findings formally at the 2012 ISHRS meeting. As I mentioned previously, it's a method that I and others who have learned about it truly believe in and feel will really benefit many patients down the road.

Senior Member Dr. Carlos Wesley Posted December 8, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2011 Revision of scars is certainly one of the features that it is intended to bring to the community!

Senior Member Billena Posted September 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2012 Using a total of 4,176 FU, the patient was able to address both areas that bothered him most: the crown and the recessions along his hairline. Video: Treating Both Crown & Frontal Scalp In addition to the coverage of his balding crown (see previously), this 34-year-old patient was able to fill in his fronto-temporal recessions as seen in the attached pictures as well as the accompanying video montage. --------- Carlos K.

Senior Member Mountinvan Posted September 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2012 Very nice result. The Video helps illustrate the refined work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted September 7, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2012 That first result is very good, but the second one is a home run! Newhairplease-I think a lot of surgeons use the term micrografts loosely. You can tell by the graft breakdown that these are true follicular units. I know the real minigrafts and micrografts from the '90s are 1 to 3 hair and 4 to sometimes 7 hair grafts cut using an eyeloop. Crazy isnt it! Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?
