Senior Member Ali Emre Karadeniz Posted November 19, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 47 year old Norwood-6 patient had an unusually wide bald area and a very narrow donor area. However the donor density was good and the hair was thick. The patient was advised not to have a hair transplant at a few FUE clinics and was looking if an improvement could be made. A 4960 grafts FUT+FUE combined procedure was performed. FUE was done using a 0.8 mm motorised sharp punch. FUT was closed with tricophytic using staples which were removed at 10 days postop. The graft distribution was as follows: FUT: 460 singles, 1401 doubles, 1548 three and more haired, for a total of 3409 grafts. FUE: 208 singles, 700 doubles, 643 three and more haired, for a total of 1551 grafts. The total hair count was about 12000. A high hairline at about 9 cms was designed considering the very large recipient area. The recipient site incisions were done using custom made blades. Coronal incisions were used for the hairline and sagittal incisions for the other areas.
