Dr. Jean Devroye, HTS Clinic / 2011 + 1232 + 2889 FUE / Beard & hair restoration

[Dr. Jean Devroye]

 

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.

Dr. Devroye, 

Excellent presentation of a very interesting case. I love the "corner(s)" results from the first surgery as well. I am sure the second pass will look just as natural. I do hope you will update when he comes back. 

Again, great work.

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

Thank you for your comment and query.

So far, I have used pubic grafts mainly to restore eyebrows. 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.

Very interesting.

Would love to see an update of this case @Dr. Jean Devroye. It's very interesting with the pubic grafts and the beard recepient sites.
