Dr. B. Farjo - 1981 FUT repair

[Pete-from-Farjo]

This patient is in his 30’s and as can be seen from the pictures had received an unsatisfactory transplant in 2013 from another clinic.

 

 

Our aim was to simply make things less noticeable by infilling in between and in front of his original surgery. To this extent a satisfactory outcome has materialised and we will be adding a video in due course.

 

He received 1981 grafts via FUT with an average 1.8 hairs /graft.

Amazing result. Do you guys have picture of how this case looked under the ugly duckling stage? Interesting since it was a no shave.

Great natural looking improvement!

Did the patient shave for the procedure and are there post-op pics?

Thanks mosd. Unfortunately not. By not shaving though, and as he had a reasonable (albeit thin) covering of hair, this patient will have been able to disguise his procedure quite easily after a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the comments hsrp10. This was a no shave procedure. The fifth pic was taken immediately post op.

So here's what I see when I look at photo #1.

 

1) First and foremost are the darker, thicker transplanted hairs at the front on the left side of the hair line.

 

2) What I assume are native hairs at the very center tip - they are soft, and wispy and have no "collar" around the hair shaft where the hair exits the skin like other obvious transplanted hairs in the photo.

 

3) Obviously a lack of density throughout.

 

4) Collaring around transplanted hairs.

 

My question is how does one create a soft, natural hairline other than simply adding density? Hairs coming from the back of the head presumably are thicker and darker than native hairs at the front of the hairline. In the end this seems to me to be where the ability to transplant hair successfully ultimately fails to imitate successfully nature. That's not to say a hair transplant can't look good standing a couple feet back, but it seems to me that one can always be able to tell upon close inspection.

 

Also I would like to see this patient's hairline up close after the procedure, not just a top down view.

 

But overall an improvement to the original procedure.

This is a great improvement and very natural looking result. There is no way anyone would think this guy had a hair transplant.
