FUE by Dr Reddy - 30 year old gentleman with Norwood3, 1277 grafts

[Dr Raghu Reddy]

Restore Hair Clinics led by Dr Raghu Reddy is based in London offering FUE Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant services.

 

Dr Reddy's niche is in achieving natural hairlines with great density, along with perfect angles and temple angle closure. To date, he has performed more than 2500 successful hair restoration procedures, both in the UK and overseas.

 

At Restore Hair Clinics, we believe in a business model is purely based on recommendation and hence 90% of our clients come through a personal recommendation. With the personal trauma suffered from sub-optimal surgery, Dr Reddy has a personal motto of making sure that none of his patients go through the same.

 

30 year old gentleman came to us with Norwood 3 hair loss. He had done extensive research about hair loss and hair restoration surgery and was convinced that FUE was the only way forward for him. Following a consultation with Dr Reddy he was qualified for an FUE as his expectations were reasonable and he had stable hair loss. Dr Reddy and his team transferred 1277 grafts to zones 1 and 2.

I like Dr. Reddy's work but I do not think this straight hairline design was a wise decision; especially on a 30 year old patient.

I could name a few surgeons who would have given the same hairline to a 30 year old patient. Rahal being one. I see nothing wrong with especially considering the patient went FUE and was a NW3 and was restored with only 1,277 grafts. The hairline was not even dropped drastically and it looks like it is 8cm( or more) above his eyebrows.

I agree with you there Mickey that some surgeons recommended on here would have potentially done that also.

Hey Chrisdav, hope you have been well. Some docs are more conservative with hairline lowering and temple closure like Hasson and Wong whilst others are a bit more aggressive if the patient has suitable attributes. This particular example did not jump out at me and make me think "this is wrong!!!!" hehehe.

Very nice for only 1277 grafts. I have seen some Docs place 2500 grafts in an area this size. which would you prefer?

[Cant decide]

The number of grafts is not really relevant in my mind since once the hairline is position, its positioned. I agree other good docs would have done the same for some patients and I disagree with those as well. I agree it is not too low so that's good but the straight design just makes me cringe. If he goes to a NW 5 or above, this design is not going to suit him IMO but of course, this is only my opinion and he may have a very favorable family history.

 

To be honest, I prefer his hairline preop and just reinforcing it would have looks fabulous. But of course, to each his own.

I agree with CD, that is an Asian hairline. Probably not enough grafts if it were in person either. On the bright side, if his crown is pretty solid, he probably won't make not to a nw6 or 7 for a long time if ever. I'm not a fan of the design, but the pt might have insisted. If a patient is well educated and wants 1000 grafts on his nose, that's his business IMO.

if he uses 1200 grafts would 1800 be enought for a solide hairline?
