Raymond Konior, MD – Chicago Hair Institute – Refinement of Plug Hairline


Recommended Posts

This patient presented with a history of having undergone hairline restoration using outdated plug transplantation. For years he had been dissatisfied with the harsh appearance of his pluggy hairline. His surgeon attempted to refine the hairline with a session of single hair grafts that were placed in front of the plugs, but the patient continued to be bothered by an abrupt hairline and an unnatural pluggy appearance throughout the original graft zone. His hairline repair in my office consisted of approximately 2500 grafts which were placed with the intention of softening the pluggy appearance along the hairline and in the central plug zone.

Beautiful hairline work Dr Konior. Just curious -- how much donor supply does the patient have left given his previous HTs and this 2500 grafts session. Thx.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUT #1, ~ 1600 grafts hairline (Ron Shapiro 2004)

FUT #2 ~ 2000 grafts frontal third (Ziering 2011)

FUT #3 ~ 1900 grafts midscalp (Ron Shapiro early 2015)

FUE ~ 1500 grafts frontal third, side scalp, FUT scar repair --300 beard, 1200 scalp (Ron Shapiro, late 2016)

fortune11 – He does have donor left but the recommendation is to delay any additional surgery until there is a clear need.

empirestate – The restoration was performed using strip harvesting. The harvest plan was designed to use old scars so as to maintain the appearance of his donor area.

KO – Selective debulking using FUE helped to soften the frontal appearance.

Gram – I don’t have photos which show much difference than what is seen here.

Thanks to all for your positive comments.
