Procedure detail
The African is known to have super curly hair roots which is very difficult to dissect and harvest. Moreover the skin is more susceptible to hypertrophic scar and keloid. However, we have many cases of African race desiring hair transplantation and the results are acceptable, this patient is one of those. The female patient is 30 years old and she wishes to transform her frontal hairline to female pattern. She has never encountered hair loss/receding and has no family history of hairloss. Se had the hair transplant surgery one year ago and she has come back for a follow up. A period of one year gives her big changes. The hairline we created was drawn as figures, the feminine type hairline. The number of graft was 2,325 FUG occupied in the estimated are of 50 square centimeters. The ratio of the graft was: 1 hair= 544 FUG, 2 hair = 1,708 FUG, 3 hair= 73 FUG.
The scar is acceptable, no hypertrophic change or keloid formation.
He is very satisfied with the result.
