Dr. Jean Devroye Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 PATIENT'S DETAILS ✓ 48 years old, NW VI, losing his hair since his 30s, with a hair loss history in his family (maternal grandfather). ✓ No medications. ✓ Medium calibre hair. ✓ Strong follicular units. ✓ High % of hair in telogen phase. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT I'm glad to present another nice hair restoration outcome by means of the FUE technique. In this gentleman's case, we initially decided to adopt a three-steps approach to treat his advanced baldness, classifiable as grade VI in the Norwood scale. The first surgery (subject of this post) took place in August 2019, when we implanted 2238 grafts FUE to restore the patient's hairline, frontal and midscalp areas. As you can observe, the surface treated would have usually required a bigger amount of grafts (around 3000); however, taking into account the patient's limited donor area, we decide to err on the side of caution by limiting the number of grafts to the minimum necessary during this first session. The results the patient achieved are excellent, as you can appreciate in the photos published below - especially considering the amount of grafts used and the surface covered. This case shows exceptionally well the fundamental importance of a well-planned and strategic grafts placement. As usual, we will not hesitate to update this thread when the patient will undergo his second session. SURGERIES DETAILS ✓ 2238 grafts ✓ Technique : FUE ✓ Donor area : Scalp ✓ 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. ✓ Grafts Breakdown :☞ 331 Single FUE grafts☞ 947 Double FUE grafts☞ 890 Triple FUE grafts☞ 70 Quadruple FUE grafts ✓ Total number of Hair : 5175 ✓ Average Hair/Graft : 2.31 Dr. Jean Devroye 1 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...

Dr. Jean Devroye Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 . As mentioned in the original post, the patient was scheduled to undergo his second procedure to cover the crown area in December 2021. During this second sitting I have extracted and implanted 2486 grafts via FUE technique exclusively – which gives a total of 4724 grafts transferred so far in two separated sessions. You can find below the surgery details and the photos showing the patient’s evolution until one year after his second procedure. A three-steps approach was adopted for this patient: he will therefore undergo a third session in the future to further improve the current results. SURGERY DETAILS 2nd Surgery - December 2021 ✓ 2486 grafts ✓ Technique : FUE ✓ Donor area : scalp ✓ Recipient area : scalp ✓ FUE and BHT scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system , now widely used in the sphere of FUE.

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted February 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 8, 2023 Dramatic change especially for such a high Norwood. End result is wispy, but looks natural and actually quite voluminous. I like the detail you go into in these descriptions and photos. Consistent lighting. His donor seems to have receded to a Norwood 7 by the time he addressed the crown, at least from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted February 9, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 9, 2023 @Dr. Jean DevroyeVery good result considering the patient's hair is looking very thin and he had high grade of baldness..and i feel at this age this much density looks very natural ...fantastic result...

Senior Member andy_+_+ Posted February 10, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2023 Great Job doc, How many grafts does the patient have left? For a third transplant, what would be your plan of attack with the remaining grafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jean Devroye Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated. On 2/10/2023 at 2:01 PM, andy_+_+ said: Great Job doc, How many grafts does the patient have left? For a third transplant, what would be your plan of attack with the remaining grafts? I think that it will be possible to harvest at least 1000-1500 FUE grafts for his third procedure. These grafts will normally be placed in the central section of the vertex to reinforce and improve the situation.

The "wispy" look should improve during the next 6 months, as the transplanted hair matures and therefore becomes more similar in texture to the patient's native hair. This maturation process can actually last 18 months, sometimes even 24 months.
