This fellow had a strip surgery performed in his area several years ago. He had both a poor hairline and a wide scar. We excised his old scar and did 1400 grafts to pack his hairline. Other than getting a traffic ticket after the surgery…his recovery was uneventful, he had his sutures removed at his town, and he sent an occasional picture at 2, 3, 4 and 7 months, and a final picture at a year.
He stopped in today to address 3 small areas of new thinning via FUE. A Feller 1.1mm punch was used to harvest FUE’s which were placed in the designated areas. He’ll hopefully send pictures over the next year so we can see progress.
His hairline work from our case 2 years ago really is a dramatic improvement, and we narrowed a 1cm scar to about 2.5mm. Not perfect, but a significant improvement that allows easy coverage with fairly short hair. I took a picture of his head with his quite short hair, showing the crease where his scar is, but really a limited scar. A close up of the scar is shown in the FUE “hole” and “perforation before extraction” pictures. The whitish material on the FUE’s in the last few pictures are his dermis (undersurface of the skin) which is light in all races, and contrasts with his dark epidermis. The fact that his hair is quite curly makes this a bit more noticeable.
