Senior Member Dr. Lupanzula Emorane Posted November 17, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) PATIENT'S BACKGROUND - Age: 27 y.o. - NW: Not Classifiable - Cicatricial Alopecia - Medicaments: None RECOMMENDED PLAN & TREATMENT This 27 years old young man came to visit Dr. Lupanzula for the first time in September 2013. During this first visit, he was wearing a hairpiece but the Doctor immediately perceived from his look that this was not a case like the others. In fact, when he asked him to remove the wig the bitter truth showed itself: at 1 year old, the patient’s scalp burned to a 3rd degree because of a gas explosion. This resulted in a very extended scarring (cicatricial) alopecia, affecting the patient’s frontal area and mid-scalp. This very problematic situation was worsened again by the wig the patient had been wearing for years, making his already damaged and scarred skin gluey and not transpiring correctly. In this situation, Dr. Lupanzula decided to propose him an operative strategy divided in two separated sessions: the first procedure, consisting in approximately 2800-3200 FUs, with FUE technique, in order to repair the burnt tissue in the frontal area, while rebuilding the patient’s hairline and adding density in his front up to the mid-scalp. The second procedure, of about 800-1200 FUs, still with FUE technique, with the purpose of restoring the scarring, burnt tissue left in the right side of the patient’s mid-scalp. It is also important to note that the patient had previously undergone a first FUT hair transplant in another clinic, leaving him with a 1x10 cm scar in his donor area and with a pluggy hair and very poor result as shown in the pre-operative pictures. Eventually the patient underwent both proposed surgeries, for a total of 3765 FUs, with Manual FUE technique, and we are pleased to show below the details of the two surgeries and next the related pictures. PS: Thanks to the excellent outcome on this extremely difficult case, Dr. Lupanzula has been recently awarded at the 6th ABCRC Congress to recognize his proven experience in repairing cicatricial (scarring) alopecia by means of FUE technique: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185207-congratulations-dr-lupanzula-awarded-6th-abcrc-congress.html SURGERIES TECHNICAL DATA 1st surgery - Hairline / Front / Mid-scalp (October 2013) Recipient area surface: ~64 cm2 2820 FUs: FUE Manual Punch, 0.9mm Incisions: Lateral Slit N° of Hair per Follicular Unit: * 547 Single FUs * 1346 Double FUs * 843 Triple FUs * 84 Quadruple FUs Average Hair/FUs: 2.16 2nd surgery - Mid-scalp (August 2014) Recipient area surface: ~28 cm2 945 FUs: FUE Manual Punch, 0.9mm Incisions: Lateral Slit N° of Hair per Follicular Unit: * 137 Single FUs * 493 Double FUs * 292 Triple FUs * 23 Quadruple FUs Average Hair/FUs: 2.21 Dr. Emorane Lupanzula PREVIEW IN DETAIL Before the Surgeries 1st Surgery // 2820 FUs Manual FUE 10 Months Post-Op 1st Surgery // Pre-Op 2nd Surgery 2nd Surgery // 945 FUs Manual FUE FINAL RESULT - 3765 FUs Manual FUE 18 Months Post-Op 1st Surgery // 8 Months Post-Op 2nd Surgery Edited November 17, 2016 by Medikemos Layout Dr Lupanzula E.
