Dr. Jean Devroye, HTS Clinic / 4063 FUT Repair / +5 years

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

 

 

 

PATIENT'S DETAILS

 

✓ 40 years old, NW VI, with a hair loss history in his family.

 

✓ Had a small procedure in 1997.

 

✓ No medications.

 

✓ Medium hair.

 

✓ Normal follicular units.

 

✓ Low % of hair in telogen phase.

 

 

 

 

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

 

When we performed the surgery the patient was 40 years old.

15 years ago, he had performed a small intervention (more or less 50 grafts were transferred).

 

First of all, I removed more or less 30 grafts.

One month later, we decided to perform a surgery with the FUT technique because there was already a scar in the donor area.

 

Thanks to a good elasticity and a good density the number of grafts placed was important: 4060 grafts for 9778 hair.

 

The situation at 6 months was encouraging. At 9, it was very good and 5 years after the surgery the density is still apparently important.

 

This case perfectly shows how a well performed hair transplant and a "strategic" hairstyle can hide an important baldness for years.

 

The patient would like to undergo a second procedure in the future to restore his vertex, and we'll not hesitate to update this post in this case.

Good to see a 5 year post op update . The original coverage of 4k grafts on a NW6 looks very good . Look forward to the update if he decides on a second pass.

Dr. Devroye,

 

That's an impressive result and I'm glad to hear and see that his result really stood the test of time given that the result you are showing was over 5 years ago.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill
