3411 FUE GRAFTS- Dr. Taleb Barghouthi- Vertex Hair Clinic

[DrTBarghouthi]

Dear community,

This is a 35 year old gentleman who had an FUE procedure done in July 2020 . He is a NW 6 pattern with a family history of the same. His donor area is moderately good with some midline dipping in the back.  We did around 3411 grafts for both the frontal and midscalp zones to add definition and density. A planned second stage for the crown was proposed a year after the initial surgery.

 Photos were taken  at around 11 months from surgery. Patient placed on finasteride 1 mg on alternate days. 

Surgical details:

FUE 0.8 mm punch

Hairline 407 refined single hairs

3004 multiple grafts

Average of 2.6 hairs/graft. 

Sites made using 0.8 mm and 1.4 mm Sapphire blades.

Very nicely done @DrTBarghouthi really nice improvement ! Be interesting to see if/when the 2nd Ht is performed 👌 thanks for posting 🙏

I love the results @DrTBarghouthi.

Hairline is perfect and age appropriate- he will continue to grow into it for sure. I like how you approached this in a conservative manner given the family hx.

Looking forward to seeing the crown.

Did you consider performing FUT on this individual?

We are planning to do the crown soon. Looking forward to that. We did consider FUT but patient was not too keen on a linear scar and scalp laxity was not great for a wide strip. He needed combination to get him over the 3000 grafts anyway.

Very refined work and the new hairline looks great. Thank you for sharing.

Could you please clarify what you mean by this? Did you mean that he needed an FUT/FUE combo to get him to more than 3000 grafts? I don't think you meant this as he had more than 3000 grafts through FUE alone.

Thanks!

Yes. I meant due to his limited scalp laxity, a typical strip for him would have yielded around 2000-2500 grafts. So he would most likely needed a 1000 more done through FUE around the strip (combination procedure).

Interesting, have you performed any combo cases we can see ? 🙏
