Dr. Jean Devroye Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 31 years old (in 2016, at the time of his first procedure), with a hair loss history in his family (father and brothers). ✓ Taking Finasteride and Minoxidil. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This 31-year-old patient wished to restore his beard - which presented a lack of density on the cheeks area - and his hairline, showing a slight recession on the temple corners. In February 2016, we performed a first FUE procedure (2011 scalp and beard grafts) in order to restore his temple corners and frame the outer and lower part of the cheeks. Following the excellent results, the patient decided to further improve his beard by completely covering the cheeks area. Therefore, in December 2017, we performed a second FUE surgery (1232 beard grafts). The patient was again enthusiastic about the results obtained. In April 2019, he decided to undergo a third FUE procedure - consisting of 2889 scalp and pubis grafts, with the aim of further enhancing his hairline/temple corners, restoring the temple points and perfecting the beard density. As usual, we will be glad to share the results of this last procedure with the community as soon as we receive any updates from the patient. SURGERIES DETAILS 1st Surgery (FUE I, Beard & Hair) - February 2016 ✓ 2011 grafts ✓ Donor area: Scalp ✓ Recipient areas: Beard and temple corners ✓ Technique: FUE ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW FUE 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 centers are already using it. ✓ Grafts Breakdown:☞ 743 Single FUE grafts☞ 681 Double FUE grafts☞ 501 Triple FUE grafts☞ 86 Quadruple FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair: 3952 ✓ Average Hair/Graft: 1,96 2nd Surgery (FUE II, Beard) - December 2017 ✓ 1232 grafts ✓ Donor area: Beard ✓ Recipient area: Beard ✓ Technique: FUE ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW FUE System. ✓ Grafts Breakdown:☞ 780 Single FUE grafts☞ 452 Double FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair: 1684 ✓ Average Hair/Graft: 1.36 3rd Surgery (FUE III, Beard & Hair) - April 2019 ✓ 2889 grafts ✓ Donor area: Scalp, pubis ✓ Recipient areas: Hairline/temple corners, temple points, beard ✓ Technique: FUE ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW FUE System. ✓ Grafts Breakdown:☞ 1026 Single FUE grafts☞ 1272 Double FUE grafts☞ 461 Triple FUE grafts☞ 130 Quadruple FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair: 5473 ✓ Average Hair/Graft: 1.89 Dr. Jean Devroye Edited July 10, 2019 by Dr. Jean Devroye typo correction 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...
Dr Blake Bloxham Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Dr. Devroye, Excellent presentation of a very interesting case. I love the "corner(s)" results from the first surgery as well.

Senior Member ndubya Posted July 31, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2019 Dr. Devroye. Great work. This is the first time I have heard of harvesting pubis grafts. Very interesting. That would be killing two birds with one stone as far as I am concerned. In what areas of the scalp can they be used? Or are they only used on beard restoration? How is the yield on the pubis grafts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, to restore beard or sideburns. Given the weaker nature of pubic grafts, it's not always easy to extract them; however, if transection is avoided, they provide a good yield. I frequently use beard grafts to fill in the scalp. Pubic hair could help, if necessary.
