Dr. Arocha - Female - African American 1200 FUT


Recommended Posts

Dr. Arocha and his team performed a 1200 FUT on this African American female patient. The results were taken 7 years after her initial procedure. The hairline and the temples were very thin prior to her transplant, leaving her with limited styling options. Now, 7 years post transplant, she has different styling options for her hair.

We see cases with African American hair so infrequently, which I understand is partly due to the challenges of those hair characteristics, and I've seen even fewer African American women because women are a trickier situation on top of that.

However, in the results I've seen for African American men, it seems like the hair characteristics do work in their favor for the final result if the doctor is able to implant the grafts successfully, even with the hair cut very short. I'd bet the added length really enhances that effect.
