Dr. Jean Devroye, HTS Clinic / 5814 Combo - 4658 FUT + 1156 FUE / 1 session

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

 

 

 

PATIENT'S DETAILS

 

✓ 29 years old, Diffuse pattern alopecia (Ludwig II), losing hair since the age of 20, no hair loss history in his family.

 

✓ Had 2 previous FUE surgeries in another clinic, 3000 grafts already transplanted.

 

✓ No medications.

 

✓ Medium hair.

 

✓ Normal follicular units.

 

✓ High % of hair in telogen phase.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

 

During the pre-op consultation, the patient expressed his will to have a combination of FUT and FUE in order to transplant the maximum number of grafts in one single session. Given that he already had 2 previous FUE HTs in another clinic, and considering his diffuse pattern alopecia, I found this option very appropriate for his characteristics.

 

Finally, the patient received 5814 grafts in two consecutive surgery days. I have used the single grafts to rebuild the very first hairline, while the other grafts to considerably boost his frontal, mid-scalp and crown density.

 

6 months after the surgery, the results are already noticeable and the change on his look is becoming apparent. We look forward to welcoming back the patient during the next months, so that we’ll be able to provide you with an update and better quality pictures of this interesting case.

 

 

 

SURGERY DETAILS

 

✓ 5814 grafts

 

✓ Technique: COMBO FUT (4658 FUs) + FUE (1156 FUs)

 

✓ 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: 35-40/cm2, performed by Dr. Devroye

 

 

✓ Grafts Breakdown:

☞ 1009 Single FUT + 63 Single FUE = 1072 Single grafts

☞ 1223 Double FUT + 490 Double FUE grafts = 1713 Double grafts

☞ 1268 Triple FUT + 529 Triple FUE grafts = 1797 Triple grafts

☞ 1158 Quad. FUT + 74 Quad. FUE grafts = 1232 Quadruple grafts

 

✓ Total number of Hair: 10569 (FUT) + 2926 (FUE) = 13495

 

✓ Average Hair/Graft: 2.27 (FUT) + 2.53 (FUE) = 2.40

Amazing result , great pictures under light too.

The patient must be very pleased with his result.

Underated Dr and Clinic in my opinion , wish I'd discovered him before my last FUE!

Looks good. Guy has a mild case of CVG.

Was thinking same. Would be pretty terrifying to be in his shoes without hair transplant surgeries. No way he could shave his head and look decent with those folds.

Hi @Dr. Jean Devroye - great result. Can I ask, why does the FUT scar appear longer on the patient's left side than his right side? Was this a laxity issue? I don't suppose there is a pic of his scar now to see how it has healed? Not his donor but the scar itself?

Thanks for your appreciation.

To be honest, I do not see an important difference between the two sides of the scar. In any case, that was not intentional and the patient didn't present any laxity issue. 

Concerning the scar pictures : unfortunately we didn't receive any until now, but my secretariat has contacted the patient and we will provide you with some pictures as soon as they'll be available.

Dr. Devroye, thank you for your continued participation and long-term support of our community. This is an excellent case presentation. How many grafts were used in the lateral humps near the crown, as you can see there was significant thinning in the midscalp and crown area. I would like to know how many grafts were approximately used to thicken up the lateral portion of the crown?

Melvin, thanks for your kind words. It is not easy to answer precisely to your question. As you can see, the vertex area was implanted with a slightly less strong density than the midscalp. The two lateral areas you have mentioned probably represent 300-350 grafts per side.
