Dr. Munib Ahmad - Failed temple/hairline repaired in one sitting (Plugs, scarring, kinky hairs) - 2050g - FueGenix - The Netherlands

[DrMunibAhmad]

The goal was to repair the failed hair transplant with plugs, scarring, and kinky hairs in a single session. (Usually it’s common that repairs are done over multiple surgeries)


The challenge of this case was to:

1.  Remove all the kinky hairs (which are caused do to trauma to the bulbs during implantation) Also including the hairs of the temples.  
2.  Remove all bad angled grafts. 
3.  Remove the cobblestoning from previous surgery. 
    
4.  Fill the same area again with good density on the same sitting. Which is made difficult due to the fact that we just made punchholes in the same area.   Including the temple. (no stitching used) 
5.  Use as few grafts as possible
6.  Leave no scarring in the transplanted area. 

We have to keep in mind that a repaired result is like making a painting on a used canvas. It's never going to be the same as a first surgery on a new patient.  

 

Pictures are taken 1 year post surgery. I combed it open in all possible ways to show the density. 

Please take note of the quality of the pictures. In my opinion, every surgeon should post pictures of this high caliber so that the patient can clearly see what they are getting into. As a patient, do not settle until you have seen good quality pictures of the  results.

A total of only 2050 grafts were used during a one day FUE surgery. The surgery started at 08.00 and finished at 15.15. 

Patient was already using dutasteride for 3 years when the before pictures were made. 


 

I am responsible for performing the entire surgery, which includes shaving, punching, extracting, making sites, and placing the grafts. My assistant helps me by sorting the grafts and providing support during the placement process. 

In addition, all communication with my clinic is handled directly by me. I personally answer all emails. For aftercare, patients have direct contact with me through WhatsApp.

Another day, another godly result. Those temples are something else too, most natural result I've seen, and he started as a repair patient (!). Just too good 👏

[Mahesh42]

Excellent Result 👍 

[Melvin- Admin]

This is an incredible repair 👏🏼

[WoundedWolf]

Neat Repair, Looking much better than before, does the cobblestoning still appear in heavy and different light settings, in front of sunlight shades ? Also was the hairline and temples were pushed down as well to cover-up the old bad hair transplant ?

Whoever did the original surgery made a pigs ear of it. I don’t understand how they are in business.

Excellent repair. What is your secret for natural, aesthetic design?

Well, it’s one of the clinics where often famous dutch people go to and exists more then several years. The problem is that they (and many others) post low quality pictures from preferred angles and get away with it.

There is no secret. It’s in the touch of the hands ✋ 🤚

Remove all bad angled grafts.

@DrMunibAhmad can you clarify appx how many badly angled grafts there were to begin with? I thought - due to scarring risks and some grafts always being in telogen phase - that it is almost impossible to extract all bad angles in one surgery?

If this is indeed the case - incredible - but can you please clarify if you really did remove 100% of bad grafts?

This is personally relatable to me as I am a bad angle repair patient myself. I have already had 2 repair surgeries with one of the super-well known repair doctors, and I still have bad angles remaining. 

So naturally I am very curious on the # of badly angled grafts the patient has, and if you truly were able to remove every single one in this single surgery. 

Thank you!

Well done

Just because a hair is in the telogen phase doesn't necessarily mean it cannot be extracted in the same procedure, as it is still connected to the same graft.

During the procedure, I removed all poorly angled grafts from both the hairline and temple areas. However, upon closer examination, there is still a poorly angled triple in the hairline (where you can see the cobblestoning), which is why I mentioned in my disclaimer that repairs may not be as good as a normal surgery. I posted them in HD close-up's. You just need to believe what your eyes are seeing :P.  

In certain cases, if the hairs behind the hairline are not significantly damaged, there is no need to remove them as they will be naturally overshadowed by the density of the new grafts. Removing them would be a waste of money and time. 

I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. However, it's worth noting that your situation is not unique, as I've had many patients who have faced similar experiences and found peace once visiting us (not being arrogant).

It's just the level of control one has while punching the grafts. If someone is able to successfully punch out poorly angled/scarred or kinky hairs in a single session, it's a testament to the low transection rate. This has already been demonstrated by us many times by using fewer grafts to achieve better coverage of the same area then elsewhere. The implantation in the same punched out area of new grafts is a technique that I've never seen anyone use except for myself. And yeah, incredible and impossible are definitely the words that are most common used as a reaction on our results, so thanks for that.  

I wish you all the best with your repair. I truly hope you'll be done with this soon.

Incredible 👌

[airporteffect]

Doc is doing gods work here. That initial result was brutal. Look how happy This guy looks after the repair procedure! Excellent work.

[Dillpickle123]

what a great result doc! He must be ecstatic 

[Henry]

Man, I've always thought kinky stuff was fun, I guess when it comes to hairs it isn't.

Trying to find the triple. Is this it? 

[DrMunibAhmad]

No that's 3 singles which look combined because it's getting pulled up. You see that those hairs originate all separately from the scalp, thuss can't be a triple. 

[hockeyman]

Fantastic work. As usual. I'm always excited to check out your most recent results. Certainly a life changing result for this patient.

[Cory]

Looks good!

I'm curious if the gentleman on the pics would like to share which clinic to avoid..

[drawdownfx]

One of the best repair works I have seen, just wow. You saved that man's life (mentally). After removing the temple grafts how many singles did you put in each temple area? they look so natural (I am assuming the thick hairs were replaced with finer singles here on the side temples?)
