Dr Mwamba – 1867 FIT Patches – NW3 – 9 months results

[Dr. Patrick Mwamba1530039577]

:)This patient had 1867 grafts to fill in the frontal zone.

We did not change his hair line location but refined its shape. To make it more natural, we built back the temples pointes (crucial factor in hair line design, especially when you are building low hair line in some patients).

 

The point I want to highlight in this patient is the flexibility he got for combing his hairs from left to right because of gain in volume.

 

In hair transplant surgery, we want to achieve a good illusion of coverage. Even though we may not maximize our focus in high density, gaining volume in the center part is a key element that could allow patient to get a better coverage. Patients will have the flexibility of playing with hairs in order to achieve a comb over effect. The new hairs may also serve as a support or base for products such as toppik to increase the illusion of coverage.

 

The goal in all of this is to achieve naturalness (respect hair angles and direction) and undetectability.

Are you saying in general you don't focus on high density or for this patient?

[Dr. Patrick Mwamba]

We were talking about this patient .

High or lower density is not the main issue for patients .I do believe we should focus to produce natural and undetectable results .

Now if the patient hair characteristics allow you to dense pack , go for it .The more hairs you put , the greater the volume you will get with an incredible coverage .But most of the times , we have to deal with reality and provide a good illusion of coverage .

Here below is an example of one of our patient with high density ( 65fu/cm2) in Frontal hair line .
