Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This patient is in his mid 30's. Initially, his goals were to restore the frontal zone including a conservative, natural hairline and to add a little density to the midscalp and crown. We did 4000 grafts by FUT and he is shown at 9 months. He was very happy and wanted to lower the hairline some more. We did a little over 2,500 grafts by FUT and he is shown 1 year later. Although he could have stopped there, he wanted to do more, in fact as much as I thought was possible. Given this was his last procedure for any forseeable time, we opted do FUE. We performed over 2,000 grafts, and grafted the frontotemporal hairline, crown, and linear donor scar from FUT. Over the three procedures, we performed 8,630 grafts (16,792 hairs) He is shown 1 year later. Given the contrast between his hair and scalp, I don't think his donor area would have looked as good if all of the grafts had been taken by FUE.

abcd0000 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This looks incredible. His scar is practically invisible and the results are astonishing. Congratulations Dr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted December 26, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted December 26, 2013 What a result that is. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three procedures in that area gives a lot of room for shocking out weak hair.

Of course the grafted density is higher in certain areas, and lower in others. I don't think he lost much native hair, which was pretty weak in the midscalp and crown to begin with. I think he would have looked good stopping after 4000 grafts but he wanted a lower more youthful hairline. This involved going to 7cm hairline with significant work in the temples, which requires alot of grafts. Most people won't need this many grafts (or don't have the donor or budget). One of the main reasons I presented it is to show that FUE after FUT is a good strategy for some patients to move alot of grafts and cover the linear scar from FUT. Thanks for the comments.

Scar looks great, but how many grafts did you put in that scar of the 2000 FUE you took on the last procedure? I like that idea…I just wouldn't wanna burn half my grafts back there…Just curious..looks great Newhairplease!!
