Procedure detail
This patient is 30 years old.
He began to
lose his hair when he was 22 years old. Since 3 years, the situation is stable,
probably thanks to the use of minoxidil.
The project was to achieve a
number of 2500 to 3000 grafts during his hair transplant procedure. The technique chosen was the FUT because the
patient didn't want to cut his hair and had a limited budget.
During the
last July, we extracted 2918 grafts for a quite low total of 5809 hair.
So,
540 FUT1, 1913 FUT2, 417 FUT3 and 48 FUT4. The proportion of grafts of two hair
is high and the number of grafts of one or three hair is similar.
The average
number of hair per graft is of 1.99.
Despite this "relative" poverty of
the donor area, the result is impressive and very early.
This hair restoration patient is
probably a good candidate for a second intervention on the crown. I will take
this opportunity to fill again a little bit the center area. And maybe the final
density obtained will be sufficient.
Bald class
Norwood class 3A
The Norwood Class A patterns are characterized by a predominantly front to back progression of hair loss. These patterns lack the connecting bridge across the top of the scalp and generally have more limited hair loss in the crown, even when advanced.
