While shaving the recipient area does provide some advantages, it is not feasible for many of the patients who come to see me. Most of my patients plan to take 7-10 days off from work with minimal detectability upon return.
This patient is in his mid-40’s and came to us with type V hair loss. We started him on finasteride and performed non-shaven FUT consisting of 4,289 follicular units. We also performed PRP/ACell to strengthen the miniaturizing follicles that were still present on his scalp.
Placement immediately after surgery.
He is shown 17 months after the procedure. Given the large area of baldness he started with, he was very pleased with the result. He is contemplating a second procedure to add increased density that 4200 grafts on such a large area simply cannot provide.
