This Chinese patient wanted one session, as many grafts as possible. He has an average donor scalp laxity and hair density . He also has some beard, which is not quite common for most Chinese patients.

We performed Combination grafting which consisted of 3758 grafts FUT from the scalp and 500 grafts FUE from the beard. The post-operative picture was taken 15 months after.

 

Spliting of the grafts from FUT:

450 1-hair grafts

2102 2-hair grafts

300 3-hair grafts

906 cut to size grafts to fit in 19# needle

 

FUE Beard 500 grafts

 

Total number of grafts transplanted 4258 grafts

When the FUE punch is small in size, it leaves no scar on the chin. The healing is pretty good.

We put the patient on Finasteride after the operation. Other factors that contribute to a much fuller look are the curly nature of his hair and the thick hair caliber.

Basically he is an ideal candidate for hair transplant.

Looks great!

 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now.

Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018.

Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon
