PATIENT'S BACKGROUND

 

- Age: 40 y.o.

- NW: VI

- Medicaments: Finasteride 1g, since 8 years

 

- Donor area density:

- 90 FUs/cm2 in the occipital region

- 85 FUs/cm2 in the parietal region

- 75 FUs/cm2 in the temporal region

 

- Donor capacity: ~8000 FUs

- Recipient area surface - Front/Mid: ~80 cm2

- Recipient area surface - Vertex: ~80 cm2

 

 

 

RECOMMENDED PLAN & TREATMENT

 

When the patient met Dr. Lupanzula for the first time was wearing a hairpiece and wanted a similar density as the wig he was wearing (reason for which his operation was refused by another clinic). Dr. Lupanzula made him understand that his expectations were unrealistic and proposed him the following approach:

 

Given the extended hair loss the patient suffered (NW VI), Dr. Lupanzula recommended a strategy consisting in two separated sessions.

The first one, 3500-4000 FUs, aiming at restoring the patient's hairline and adding density in the frontal area until the upper part of the mid-scalp. The second one, 3000-3300 FUs, with the purpose of restoring and adding density in the vertex.

 

Finally the patient underwent both surgeries, one three months after the other, and we're glad to show below the final result of the two surgeries - respectively at the 12th and 9th post-operative month. Moreover, as soon as we will meet the patient again, we will post an update showing the final result.

fantastic work on such a difficult case! Love the transparency in showing results bravo!

[delancey]

I cannot see the pictures, so I cannot comment on the case. Although I see that it's a higher Norwood case which is always welcome.

 

 

Does Dr. Lupanzula believe that wearing a hair system may negatively affect growth of a future hair transplant? More specifically, if someone is wearing, and then stops wearing, could the extended period of time with glue on the scalp, for instance, negatively affect a hair transplant?

Such a great result... Great documentation as well.

 

If he wanted to he could put some toppix in and it would be like a full head of hair.

 

But I imagine is he over the moon with this result.

Life changing result. Well done.

[chris39]

Nice result and honestly presented photo's .

 

Makes the good point that expectations need to be realistic , more so in the case of higher NW's . Exceptional circumstances apart , higher NW's are never gong to achieve the cosmetic effects of super high density .

[Mickey85]

Very nice. Precision work right there.

[JON86]

Doctor Lupanzula consistently does amazing work. Some of the cleanest and best planned cases I have seen.

Dear all,

 

Many thanks for your kind comments and appreciations about this presentation.

Dear andy,

 

As you say, the patient is extremely satisfied with the result already achieved.

 

He considered the usage of toppik but he actually prefers to keep a more natural appearance without the usage of additional products.

Dear delancey,

 

Thanks for your query.

 

Definitely yes, wearing a hair system can negatively affect both native and transplanted hair; as you say, this is mostly due to the glues used, which don't allow the skin of the scalp to perspire, to "breathe" in a correct way. This could turn out in a poor regrowth after a hair transplant, or in a more significant hair loss in a normal situation.

 

Sincerely,
