6427 FUE grafts. Dr. Taleb Barghouthi- Vertex Hair clinic.

[DrTBarghouthi]

Dear community,

This is a 28 year old gentleman who had a 2 staged FUE procedure . He is a NW 6/7 pattern with a family history of the same. His donor area is of good density and calibre despite dipping low in the mid zone. 

He underwent 2 procedures. The first one was in May 2020 to address the frontal and midscalp zones. The second procedure was then done in January 2021 to address the crown and any added density in the previously done areas. Photos were taken recently which means he is just over a year from his first procedure and around 8 months following his crown restoration. We do ofcourse expect more growth in the crown area as it usually taken well over 12 months to show full results.

Surgical details of 1st procedure: 

FUE 0.8 mm punch

Total grafts: 3226/ 425 refined singles in hairline. 

Average of 2.24 hairs/graft. 

Sites made using 0.8 mm and 1.4 mm Sapphire blades. 

 

Surgical details of 2nd  procedure: 

FUE 0.8 mm punch

Total grafts: 3201 mostly in the crown, Midscalp and some minor refinement to the hairline defined zone. 

Average of 2.34 hairs/graft. 

Sites made using 0.8 mm and 1.4 mm Sapphire blades.

Really nice work. Sensible 2 stage approach. Look forward to seeing further pics of his crown 👌Thanks for posting 🙏

Good job @DrTBarghouthi👍

Nice so far, I like the hairline design you selected for this case. Any scope for further passes with remaining scalp donor or BHT?

What was his estimated donor capacity pre surgery?

Excellent!

Yes there is still a possibility of further work through scalp and BHT. However, I would recommend delaying at much as possible since he is still 28. 
 

His donor capacity was around 7000-7500. So he might get another 1000 from scalp and the same from his beard most likely.

Hi @DrTBarghouthi-Do you think his donor capacity would have been even greater if he had done FUT followed by FUE? If so, how many more grafts would you estimate?

 

Thanks!

Yes. I think he could reach the 8000  from scalp if he went for an FUT initially. The issue is that he used to shave his head with  the stage of hairloss he had so he could not imagine having a scar.
