Repair case- 3200 FUE grafts- Dr. Taleb Barghouthi -Vertex Hair clinic

[DrTBarghouthi]

Dear Community,

This is a 40 year old gentleman with a previously done FUT in 2010 that unfortunately hasn't been successful. His scar has been slightly wide and sensitive and he refused undergoing further FUT as he had an unpleasant experience with post operative recovery/pain. He has a Family Hx of NW 6/7. He himself is a NW6 with a low dipping crown and a limited donor area total surface area. His hair calibre is average. The patient has been using toupees for the last 9 years as his original growth was unpleasant and too obvious. His post operative photos show his shaved pattern but you can clearly see the obvious grafts with the low density and obvious appearance. We had no set number in mind, but we managed to extract 3200 FUE grafts to reconstruct the frontal and Midscalp areas in July 2019. No crown work was done as patient felt that should he have any future work done, he will rather wait for the initial result/ density. The patient is currently satisfied and is planning another density session and possibly some limited crown work in the same setting. I believe we can harvest another 2000-2500 grafts. Would be ideal if he would allow for another FUT/combination procedure. 

Total grafts: 3200

464 single hair refined grafts in Hairline. 

Average hairs/follicle: 2.04

Nicely done Dr. The FUT scar this guy has seems ok, shame he didn’t have growth from it.He does appear to have a very strong beard too. You have got him in much better position with this FUE. Glad he found a decent Dr after his last procedure.

Thank you @JohnAC71

Yes he does have great potential going forward, despite his limited donor, tight scalp and slightly low hair/follicle averages and calibre. I believe he could get a decent number next time and also along with some beard extraction if he prefers that. I think he can be in an even better position over 1 or 2 further sessions. The best thing is that he got rid of his caps and toupees, which is a huge psychological step.
