Dr. Jean Devroye Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 37 years old, NW III, losing hair since the age of 24, with a hair loss history in his family (father). ✓ No medications. ✓ Underwent two SMP sessions elsewhere in 2017 and 2018. ✓ Medium caliber hair. ✓ Normal follicular units. ✓ Low % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT This gentleman came to my office to find a solution for his receding hairline. He had previously undergone two SMP sessions elsewhere (in 2017 and 2018) but was not satisfied with his look. We therefore decided to proceed with an FUE surgery in order to rebuild his hairline and temple corners. Considering that the patient wasn’t taking any medications to prevent further hair loss (and wasn’t willing to start to), we decided to increase the number of grafts to reinforce the forelock and the posterior, adjacent area as well. This was done in order to stay ahead of the potential balding of these areas, that may have required the patient to undergo another procedure at some point in the future. 2950 FUE grafts were eventually extracted and implanted. I have used an important number of single follicular units to restore his hairline and temple corners, in order to give a natural but at the same time dense look. 2s, 3s and 4s grafts have been progressively placed behind the hairline to give fullness and coverage and to reinforce the anterior area. The patient is very happy with his results. The pictures he sent in one and two years after the procedure actually show a very natural and dense outcome. SURGERY DETAILS ✓ 2950 grafts ✓ Technique: FUE ✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW 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 centres are already using it. ✓ Incisions: 45-50/cm2 ✓ Grafts Breakdown: ☞ 527 Single FUE grafts ☞ 1081 Double FUE grafts ☞ 1259 Triple FUE grafts ☞ 83 Quadruple FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair: 6798 ✓ Average Hair/Graft: 2.30 Dr. Jean Devroye 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...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2020 Looks really good, was that SMP? Dr. Devroye in your opinion does having SMP cause scar tissue? Therefore, making it more difficult to have a subsequent hair transplant procedure. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

LonelyGraft Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Good transformation. The donor harvesting looks nice and homogeneous @Melvin-Moderator I could be wrong but I don’t think that’s smp. Looking like a straight up tattoo as I see no “dot simulation” to mimick hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jean Devroye Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thank you all for your comments. That actually was SMP. Generally speaking, SMP doesn't alter skin tissue structure, nor influence grafts survival and regrowth.
