Reconstructive hair surgery on a female patient with burn marks – 2377 FU

[Dr. Bijan Feriduni]

FUT performed on a 26 year old African female patient with:

 

- Donor density of ca. 72 FU/cm2 in the temporal donor region and 76 FU/cm2 in the parietal donor region

- Hair diameter of ca. 52-56 microns

- Hair loss due to a burning injury in her childhood

- Her health insurance didn’t cover the costs of a reconstructive surgery so she became a ‘foundation’ patient

 

Treatment plan:

 

Follicular Unit Strip Transplantation with 1800-2000 FU to restore and fill in the burn marks.

 

 

Performed procedure (January, 19th 2016):

Density of 30-50 FU/cm2 in the hairline and feather zone (single units), a density of 40-45 FU/cm2 in the density zone (double and triple units).
