Bogota Hairlines - BYE BYE Hair system, 2 surgeries 4425 grafts, Dr Sergio Camacho

[Bogota Hairlines]

Hairy Christmas everyone!

Bogota Hairlines are proud to present the 24 month journey from hair piece to real restored hair with focus on subtleness of the process, leaving minimum evident signs of surgery per patient's request.

We tried to summarize the process with 10 pointers below.

Background

1) This patient from the united states was 33 at the time of the first surgery and was wearing a hair system for about 13 years.

2) It was extremely important for the patient to have a subtle transition away from the hair system without any of his friends and coworkers notice he had surgery done at any point. 

3) Dr Camacho's proposal was to achieve this with 2 FUE surgeries in 2 consecutive years. 

4) Surgery number 1 was to "Lay the foundation".  Partly shaving the donor area to 2 sections in a way that the long hairs above will cover the extracted area. This technique limited the amount of grafts that was possible to extract to 2036 but was enough to get rid of the hair system and lay the foundations for the second surgery.

5) After the initial 2-3 week recovery period the patient went back to work wearing the hair system with clips attached to his native long hairs. This allowed him to look the same as before surgery while going through the dormant phase.

6) The patient was extremely committed with medication using minoxidil x2 a day and Finasteride 1mg daily.

7) After about 6 months the patient threw away the hair system.

8 ) Surgery number 2  was to re-shape the hairline and improve density. This time the entire donor area was shaved for extraction while the recipient area was not. This allowed the extraction of 2389 grafts which were placed cautiously  using Implanter pens directly without pre made incisions. There was also some crown work improvement done but that was very minimal due to risk of damaging existing hairs. 

9) The patient was still able to disguise the grafted area using his existing long hairs. No one noticed he had anything done.

10) 12 months after the second surgery we are proud to show these results and more importantly get incredible feedback from this patient who deemed it "Mission Complete"

 

2 SURGERIES BREAKDOWN

Both surgeries Led by Dr Sergio Camacho with the assistance of Dr Paola Pareja with our usual protocol  for extraction using Mamba Trivellini motorized device and Lion Implanters for implantation.

What would really be great is if there was a before picture of him wearing the hair piece so we can compare the hair piece to the transplant end result. That's something that would really very beneficial to see for someone who may be currently wearing a hair piece and thinking about switching to a hair transplant as this patient did. Nice work, though. Thanks for posting.

Seems to be really good work.

Are there any video comb-throughs?
