Dr. Jean Devroye Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 60 years old, NW VI, losing hair since the age of 30, with a hair loss history in his family. ✓ No medications. ✓ Thin hair. ✓ Normal follicular units. ✓ High % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT Given the extended hair loss this patient suffered, I proposed him a plan consisting in two separated sessions. The first one, with FUT technique, with the aim of restoring his hairline and frontal area (with a very conservative approach). The second session, with FUE technique, in order to restore his vertex and upper mid-scalp. One year after the last procedure, the patient has sent the pictures shown hereunder and is amazed by the great results he has achieved, frankly unexpected considering his initial situation. SURGERIES DETAILS 1st SURGERY – JUNE 2015 ✓ 2867 grafts ✓ Technique: FUT ✓ Incisions: 30-35/cm2, performed by Dr. Devroye ✓ Grafts Breakdown: ☞ 616 Single FUT grafts ☞ 1223 Double FUT grafts ☞ 868 Triple FUT grafts ☞ 160 Quadruple FUT grafts ✓ Total number of Hair: 6306 ✓ Average Hair/Graft: 2.20 2nd SURGERY – APRIL 2016 ✓ 2606 grafts ✓ Technique: FUE ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system, now widely used in the sphere of FUE. It consists of a very precise pedal that enables to control the movement of the punch, that I also designed myself. The main advantage is to reduce substantially the number of damaged and transected hair, thus to raise the quality of the procedure. The system is now used worldwide and several dozens of surgeons or centres are already using it. ✓ Incisions: 30-35/cm2, performed by Dr. Devroye ✓ Grafts Breakdown: ☞ 246 Single FUE grafts ☞ 848 Double FUE grafts ☞ 1108 Triple FUE grafts ☞ 404 Quadruple FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair: 6882 ✓ Average Hair/Graft: 2.64 Dr. Jean Devroye Dr. Jean Devroye HTS Clinic - Bruxelles Email: info@hts-clinic.com Telephone: +32 2 880 70 60 Website: https://www.hair-transplant-surgery.com/en/home Online consultation: https://www.hair-transplant-surgery.com/en/Online-diagnostic Devroye Instruments: https://www.devroyeinstruments.com/ Dr. Devroye is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member andy_+_+ Posted June 20, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2017 Dr.Devyroe. I' really appreciate the results you present. Always multiple pictures of pre and post op and you show "real" cases. Your cases aren't just a NW2 that you front load the hairline with 4500 grafts. How many grafts does this patient have left? Would look even better if he could add a little bit more density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jean Devroye Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Dr.Devyroe. I' really appreciate the results you present. Always multiple pictures of pre and post op and you show "real" cases. Your cases aren't just a NW2 that you front load the hairline with 4500 grafts. How many grafts does this patient have left? Would look even better if he could add a little bit more density. And great scar! Any grafts left? Thanks for your comments andy and mosd. The last picture showing the patient's donor tells that it may still be possible to extract some grafts. At least about a thousand. This is one of the advantages of FUE: it allows to rebalance the densities of both donor and recipient areas. When a homogeneous density among the two zones is achieved, even if it's not or not anymore maximal, the patient tends to be highly satisfied.

Senior Member andy_+_+ Posted June 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2017 Where would use the remaining 1000 - 1500 grafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jean Devroye Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Where would use the remaining 1000 - 1500 grafts? This would depend mainly on the patient's wishes. Personally, I would spread them through the entire transplanted area to increase the overall density in a homogenous way.
