Raphael84 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The following case presents a patient with advanced loss with some areas of the donor evidently weaker in points. The plan was a conservative approach to address as much area as possible without exhausting the donor and tapping into the beard area to supplement also as a further donor region. Thank you to the patient who kept excellent record of healing and through to 12 months stage and you can see the progression and final outcome. The patient is very happy with this transformation and we can also utilise further scalp and beard donor for future coverage.

Senior Member Britanium Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just amazing 🤩 wow man this has totally changed this chaps look. Very sensible hairline ! Nicely framed face now 👏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huncholini Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Between 9-12 months there seems to have been a lot of progress towards the back of his head, where grafts were placed just in front of his crown, was there a lot of growth there or does it look like that because of lighting differences in the photos? Front looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 Wow, fantastic result and nice hairline design for his case. Plus very early growth in the front. Crown as slow as expected, even though no one can tell my why^^ Extraction pattern looks adjusted to the individual case. There is only one "but": Quite a big area to cover + some thinning in the nape/ear areas. I hope the patient is on meds. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Curious25 Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Wow great work. The growth of the crown/vertex region between 9-12 months is really evident from the well documented photos. Could you advise on the region of the scalp where the beard grafts were placed please, and give an estimate to how many remaining scalp and beard grafts this patient has left to use in the future? thanks 1 hour ago, Gasthoerer said: Crown as slow as expected, even though no one can tell my why^^ Someone’s not caught up on Melvins Instagram live with Dr Wong just yet 😉 Edited May 1, 2021 by Curious25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member cpfm Posted May 1, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 @Raphael84Impressive! I assume the beard grafts were used in the crown area? Do you know if the patient was on Fin before the procedure? Thank you for presenting this case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Curious25 Posted May 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 1, 2021 Another question .... why does dr bisanga always seem to get fast growers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Thank you for the interest and further questions regarding this patient result. On 5/1/2021 at 5:02 PM, cpfm said: I assume the beard grafts were used in the crown area? If you look at the photos showing placing post surgery, you will see that there were not any grafts placed into the crown area. This is planned in a subsequent surgery to complete this patient´s restoration. On 5/1/2021 at 3:42 PM, Curious25 said: Could you advise on the region of the scalp where the beard grafts were placed please, and give an estimate to how many remaining scalp and beard grafts this patient has left to use in the future? Total beard represented 468 grafts. They were utilised throughout the mid scalp area which allowed a very favourable scalp hair/beard hair ratio. A subsequent surgery to complete this patient´s crown restoration would be able to very comfortably harvest 2000+ grafts from his scalp donor, despite some weaker areas, and further supplemental beard hair at favourable ratios. Such an approach then avoids depleting his scalp donor area, and retaining further grafts to tap into if needed as the patient ages. His hairline design and placement has really set him up to be in a strong position moving forward. On 5/1/2021 at 5:52 PM, Curious25 said: Another question .... why does dr bisanga always seem to get fast growers? Dr. Bisanga is very proud to be able to achieve good early growth in a great percentage of his patients, due to his surgery protocols and the methods that he and his team employ and the way that each and every follicle is handled. We are preparing more "in the op-room" style videos to be able to show the approach, quality of surgery and the delicate manipulation and handling of grafts, to have the opportunity to really understand specific elements of surgery in more depth. I am very excited about these videos as they will present a new perspective with explanation. 1 Patient Advisor for Dr. Bisanga - BHR Clinic ian@bhrclinic.com - BHR YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcH4PY1OxoYFwSDKzAkZRww I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice.

Raphael84 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 This result has received much attention on our YouTube channel and we have received further questions related to some of the intricacies and details of this surgery and approach and therefore wanted to present a video review to break down some of the important factors.
