"Pitted" Minigraft Plugs Corrected with 3362 grafts; 17 years later. Dr. Mike Beehner

[Dr. Michael Beehner]

This 37 y/o gentleman came to our clinic in 1999, having had two scalp reduction procedures and a large single session with "slit" minigrafts, which were "pitted" in appeareance and directed in the wrong direction and angle. He underwent three procedures over a three year period of time with us, in which we placed 3362 grafts, composed of 2450 FU's and 922 DFU's, for a total of 9417 hairs. The obvious minigrafts were carefully trimmed down using the "Lucas Technique," whereby a portion of the hairs are cored off and then re-cut and put elsewhere. He came back to see us, now 14 years since his last procedure. We don't see as many of these old "pluggy" results now as we did in the earlier years, but our approach surgically is still the same.

This is a great transformation Dr.Mike

I can feel the gentleman's pain pre-op and how happy he is now. You truly deserve a round of applause. Thank you!

Dr. Beehner,

 

That is truly a remarkable transformation. I couldn't even imagine having those old style hair plugs in my scalp. I'm sure this patient is truly relieved and excited to have a natural looking head of hair again and not have to worry about people staring at him in a strange way because his scalp and hair looks unnatural. Excellent work as always.
