ArochaAngel4247 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 When this patient came to see Dr. Arocha, he had undergone a previous transplant with a different hair restoration surgeon, which did not produce desirable results. Dr. Arocha took a conservative approach because the patient's donor was not in great shape. He performed one initial 1,000 graft FUE procedure, followed by an SMP procedure later that year to help give the appearance of more coverage. And, about 1.5 years after his first FUE with Dr. Arocha, we performed a second 1000 graft FUE procedure to add additional coverage. Before images were taken before he had any work done with Dr. Arocha, but after his procedure with a different surgeon. After images show the result after the SMP and both FUE procedures (and about 9-months after his second 1,000 graft FUE). So, he's still got a bit of growing to do, but we are thrilled to see this result come full circle. It's taken several years, but with a conservative approach, Dr. Arocha was able to get him back to a great spot.

Senior Member SLA Posted July 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2021 Wow! I can't even see where the SMP was placed. Great results for 2k grafts + SMP in covering such a huge area! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2021 Good work with a difficult case. Too bad this guy went down the FUE route. He needs more grafts than what FUE alone can give him.

I've seen Dr. Arocha's SMP work in person, and it's difficult to tell that it's SMP even when you are up close!!! 2 Representative and Patient Educator for: Dr. Bernardino A.
