2000 graft FUE Case- 2 Week Follow Up

[Michael Vories, MD]

This is a 2000 graft FUE case for a 55 year old male who wished to advance his hairline. Shown are before photos, immediate after photos, and 2 week follow-up photos. Patient understands the likelihood of telegen effluvium.

 

A good take home point for my staff is the importance of using Hans implanters for these FUE procedures. The delicate morphology of FUE grafts resulted in poor growth when we were hand placing FUE grafts several years ago. In our clinic patients like this did not experience the initial growth at the two week mark with hand placement. Because implanter pens do not traumatize the dermal papilla, we have experienced much better permanent growth since beginning their use. As in performing FUE extractions, using implanter pens does require a trained physician to do the work, and limits the clinic to performing one procedure per day per provider.

Dr. Vories,

 

I like the post-operative hairline design. Interested in seeing the density of the final result. Thank you for sharing.
