Dr Blake Bloxham Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 One of the most common requests I receive at the office is: "Doc, I want to cover 'everything.'" In other words, patients want to try and cover from hairline to full crown in one procedure. And while this is possible for some patients -- and I have done it before -- it's usually not the best/most realistic approach for most. Instead, I usually tell patients the best way to really knock "everything" out is in two procedures: one FUT mega-session to rebuild the hairline, densely pack the frontal scalp, and strategically fill the mid-scalp (past the "horizon"); and a second FUT to really do the crown correctly and feather up into the mid-scalp. I particularly like doing this method because a true "crown surgery" really deserves it's own day and a good graft number. I've also found that the FUT scar usually heals roughly the same between surgery 1 and 2, so you get total coverage with very minimal damage in the back and lots of donor left to address any issues in the future -- including some non-strip surgery to camouflage the scar further if the patient wants to go shorter on the sides later on. And that's precisely what this patient did: The patient is a male in his 50's with advanced NW level V-VI hair loss. We planned for two FUT procedures as described above. The first was a 3,200 graft HT aimed at the frontal and mid-scalp. Here are his results from that surgery: And here are his immediate post-operate results from the second surgery -- 2,000 grafts to the crown: And here is a video with more pictures, explanations, and some detailed "comb-through" footage. I highly encourage all members to watch: Thanks for reading. Look forward to comments and questions.
