Hair transplantation procedure before and after result images

Hair Transplant Sessions: 2
Grafts Implanted: 4037
Total Hairs Transplanted: 10347
Baldness Class: 4
Surgical Procedure: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

This 40-year old patient was an ideal case : the donor area was very rich and the very lax*skin have allowed the FUE extraction with a very good quality.

In April 2012, the transplant was performed in two days.
4037 grafts for 10,347 hairs were extracted and replaced on the entire anterior area which was totally empty. The re-growth is exceptional*and complete.

The punch diameter used was of 0.9 mm which has allowed to harvest this very large number of hair. Indeed, the detail of the grafts is the following :
FUE1: 777, FUE2: 918, FUE3: 1634, FUE4: 4708. So, 2.56 hair per graft.

The use of a punch with an intermediate diameter of 0.9 mm rather than 0.8 or 0.7 mm allows a large harvest, rich in hair and poor in transection.

The aspect of the donor area with long hair is perfectly normal after the first intervention.

Of course, the picture of the shaved area taken during the last week shows the scars of the first two days of FUE. However it only becomes visible with hair shaved very short (less than 0.5 mm).

I also present you two pictures that compare the situation the day after the transplant and*after 7 months when the patient came for the second intervention.*

He decided to come back to perform a surgery on the crown area. This new*transplant graft has gathered more than 2000 grafts.

The overall result of these two interventions will follow in a few months.
