Surgical Plan: Hairline reconstruction, density increase in the frontal and fronto-temporal area. The surgery was performed in one day with 2 sessions of extraction and implantation 

Patient´s age: 38 years old. The patient was using finasteride prior to the surgery and he continued using it afterwards.

Hair Thickness: 45 microns in the parietal areas and 49 microns in the occipital area. 

Hair Type: caucasian, dark and thin hair

Number of Grafts Implanted: 1968, all grafts were implanted in the hairline, frontal and fronto-temporal area except 300 grafts that were implanted in the mid scalp and upper vertex.

0.8mm micromotor and manual punch were used for the extraction.

Grafts Breakdown 

1s: 365

2s: 828

3s: 713

4s: 60

5s: 2

Overall hair/graft ratio: 2.24

Greta results !

Impressive and nice results. Just 2 questions

1- What size of blade or needle is used for grafts placing?

2- What is the density per sq. centimeter? If it is convenient you may reply otherwise no issue.

Hello @AhmadChaudhry,

Please find the replies below:
 

1- What size of blade or needle is used for grafts placing?
Dr Turan uses the implanter pen for graft placement, that means that there is no pre-incisions made. He uses implanter pens that range from 0.7 to 1mm width. In patients with very thick hair, he uses 1.2mm implanter pen for multiple grafts (4 and 5 hairs)

2- What is the density per sq. centimeter? If it is convenient you may reply otherwise no issue. 
Density per cm2 in a hair transplant depends on many factors such as: hair caliber, hair/graft ratio, hair colour, skin laxity conditions, native hair or no native hair in the areas to be implanted, areas of implantation (hairline requires greater density than other areas), etc. So, they vary for every patient.

In this case, the implanted density ranged between 50 to 40 grafts per cm2.
