Dr. Nakatsui, hairline repair, 1272 grafts

[Dr. Thomas Nakatsui]

This was a patient who came in last week for follow-up. We did a transplant on him about 5-6 years ago and what he wanted at the time was to repair a previous transplant done several years prior by another physician. We touched up his hairline with 391 single grafts, 780 double grafts, and 101 big grafts, for a total count of 1272 grafts.

 

He still has some pitting from the mini-micrografting he had received previously but this is much less noticeable than it was before. We could have transplanted in front of his previous multi-follicular unit grafts (and still could) but he is happy with where his hairline is sited. Another option today might be to extract the pitted grafts.

 

At this time, he would like to thicken up the area posterior to the grafted area as this has started to thin a bit.

 

I also have some immediate post-op photos if anyone is interested.

Very nice. He must be delighted to have a natural looking hairline again.

 

Shows how effective a relatively small amount of grafts can be when used well.

Thanks for the comments, Pete from Farjo
