Dr. Jean Devroye, HTS Clinic / 3090 FUE / Frontal area and crown restoration

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

 

 

 

 

 

 

PATIENT'S DETAILS

 

✓ 50 years old, NW IV, losing hair since the age of 35, with a hair loss history in his family (paternal side).

 

✓ No medications.

 

✓ Medium hair.

 

✓ Normal follicular units.

 

✓ Normal % of hair in telogen phase.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

 

Given the patient’s exceptional donor area, we agreed upon a FUE procedure consisting in 3000-3200 grafts to rebuild his hairline, while improving the overall density in his frontal area and crown.

 

One year after the surgery, the patient came back for a check-up and I was pleased to see the great yield and results he had achieved so far.

 

The patient is currently considering a second procedure during the upcoming months in order to further increase his frontal and mid-scalp density. We will not hesitate to update this post if he will proceed with the surgery.

 

 

 

SURGERY DETAILS

 

✓ 3090 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: 35-40/cm2, performed by Dr. Devroye

 

 

✓ Grafts Breakdown:

☞ 524 Single FUE grafts

☞ 2067 Double FUE grafts

☞ 486 Triple FUE grafts

☞ 13 Quadruple FUE grafts

 

✓ Total number of Hair: 6168

 

✓ Average Hair/Graft: 2.00

Excellent work!

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

 

 

 

The patient is now 52 years-old and 6 months ago underwent a second FUE procedure consisting of 1506 grafts with the aim of increasing the overall density. Since he was already satisfied with his new hairline, we decided to mostly focus on enhancing the midscalp density (this area was not touched during the first procedure).

 

The patient has recently come in for a post-operative check-up and we present below his pictures taken 6 months after his second surgery (after receiving a total of 4596 FUE grafts).

 

Please note that the patient had started a treatment based on Finasteride 1mg, 1x/day and Minoxidil 5%, 2x/day since one month after his first surgery. We apologize for the wrong data reported on the original post.

Impressive.  Looks quite natural.  Looks like a normal head of hair which is the ultimate goal of any hair restoration patient.  Patient must be really happy.

Dr. D excellent result. The patient must be thrilled. 

What size punch was used ?

How many remaining FUE grafts do you think this patient has left? 

Your work continues to impress.

Good work @Dr. Jean Devroye. Both the crown and the hairline look great. It does look a little less dense on the hairline than behind it though. How many grafts were used in the front and how many in the crown in the initial procedure? Thanks.

Thank you wazaam and TrixGlendevon for your comment and questions.

The punch used was an external 0.9. We can notice how small the holes are and how fast the healing process has been.

There should probably remain between 1000 and 2000 grafts according to if I extract in the most lateral areas or not. And if I use beard, this number can increase from 500 to 1000 additional grafts.

As far as the distribution of the 4600 grafts is concerned, the vertex must, in total, have been transplanted about 2000 grafts and the rest was added in the front and on the midscalp for the second procedure.
