Hair Restoration Blog

I have performed a hair transplant surgery on this 42 year old man who had another hair transplant last year with micor- and minigraft with another office last year. I would like to assume that the era of mini and micro-grafts are over, but still every now and then I see patients who are recently operated with micrograft or minigraft techniques. This 42 year old patient had small number of grafts for a large area with less than adequate coverage.

The patient’s old hair line is lower than where it should be on the corners for his age and race. He had some pluggy hair growth on the corners and on his hairline. We restored his hairline with 400 single hair FUT grafts, removed some of the pluggy hairs on the hairline using a 1mm punch biopsy device. We increased the density of hair on the front are with total of 2293 follicular unit grafts.

The frontal area was densely packed and the some of the frontal grafts with pluggy appearance were removed. I expect great result in a few months for this patient at our 10 month follow up.
