Soft and refine FUE surgery on a 51 years old man

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

This patient of 51 years old did not seem to be the best candidate. Nevertheless, his expectations were very reasonable.

 

He mainly wanted to cover the anterior area and to recover a younger aspect.

 

A FUE was foreseen during 2 days.

 

Here are the results:

3212 grafts for 6102 hair

+ 215 body hairs

 

As you can notice on the post-operative pictures 1 and 2, the aftermath of the operation were very discreet.

 

The number of grafts reached was anyway very important: 3212 grafts and 6102 hair.

 

The number of average hair by graft wasn’t very important, but his salt and pepper hair was an advantage.

 

The final aspect was extremely encouraging for a unique surgery. By the way, the patient reports to be satisfied.

 

We will probably plan a second surgery.

 

Here is his comment:

 

“You did a transplant for me last July and I attach the latest photos of the*

results.

 

This seems to correspond pretty accurately with the projection that you made*

for me originally, so I am pleased.*

 

I had FUE and only dealt with the anterior area and I am now contemplating*

repeating the process.*

 

What do you think could be achieved with a second session?”

 

So we are thinking about a second intervention with Body Hair, as he as a lot.

This patient's options were obviously quite limited and I think you devised a nice plan for him. I'm glad he's happy thus far.

I think this is quite well done.

I have to say that it's probably the smallest area I've seen covered with 4600 grafts. It's not a bad look, just not what I'd expect at far as graft usage.

Dear Spanker,

 

You are right ! There is a mistake with the calculation ! The total number of grafts reached is 3212.

Jean
