2800 graft FUT and plug repair in Indian male


Recommended Posts

This man of Indian descent had plug transplants a decade prior. A session of 2800 grafts (5190 hairs) plus decoring most of the plugs in the front was performed. These plugs were 'recycled' and the follicles within each plug were cut into 1-3 hair grafts. After 3 months, some of the plugs regrew hair and these were treated with electolysis. Although faint light scars show where the plugs were, the overall result is very satisfactory to the patient.

I wonder if this patient was a former / current poster here. I remember communicating with a man of Indian decent who had plugs, just as I did, who was going to Cooley.

 

Great result either way.

I am not this patient, but I had similar plugs and Dr. Cooley removed two rows from the front and several unnatural plugs in my crown. For mine, there was no stitching required and they were generally unnoticeable after a week or two.

 

The new FU's were completely undetectable after a couple of days (with a little of my hair covering), but the big ones take a little longer.
