Michael Vories, MD 2000 grafts FUE- African American Beard Case

[Michael Vories, MD]

This patient came in for his 6 month follow up yesterday after receiving 2000 FUE grafts for beard restoration in a one day case. This patient has a history of keloid scarring, and because he wanted to keep his donor hair short was only interested in FUE. Donor areas before and after are also shown. 0.90 mm surrounded punch was used for the extraction and Hans Lion Implanters used for placement. All grafts extracted and placed by Dr. Vories.

Great beard! Wish I had the donor supply available to enhance my own. Donor area looks excellent. Does he have any idea how his facial area looks when shaved? I'm always curious to know how the recipient site scarring turns out.

Thanks for the comments. It is a good question about recipient scarring. From the photos is difficult to tell unless you focus in on the upper ridge of grafts. But even then I cannot detect scarring. I would ask the patient to shave down for close up photos but I don't think he would be do it!
