Michael Vories, MD FUE Vertex 2000 Grafts

[Michael Vories, MD]

Crown cases can be notoriously difficult. Getting the exit angles and an adequate hair mass is needed. This patient came in for his one year follow up after receiving 2000 FUE grafts into his vertex. Many times with vertex cases there can be a two to three month delay in hair growth compared to hairline cases. When this patient came in for his six month follow up, there was about 40-50% growth, while with most hairline/frontal forelock cases most patients are almost completely grown in at six months. According to the patient, it wasn't until about the nine month post-op mark that he began seeing the final result. All grafts harvested and placed by Dr. Vories.

Dr. Vories,

 

His crown looks great! I know crowns are typically known as the "black hole" which is why placement is key to make a difference.

 

By the way, are you still using the NeoGraft or are you using a different extraction tool now?

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

We stopped using the NeoGraft machine several years ago due to inconsistent growth related to suction. We found the suction can cause a flash dessication of the grafts, which leads to poor graft survival. I have been using a motorized sharp punch system with manual extraction to eliminate the possibility of dessication, and in doing so have increased graft survival to over 95%. Thanks!

Awesome result

Thnak you for this presentation. I personally believe that pictures directly would help to understand the graft placement and also help to evalauate the final result.
