Reconstructive hair surgery on a female patient with burn marks – 2377 FU

[Spex]

FUT performed on a 26 year old African female patient with:

- Donor density of ca. 72 FU/cm2 in the temporal donor region and 76 FU/cm2 in the parietal donor region
- Hair diameter of ca. 52-56 microns
- Hair loss due to a burning injury in her childhood
- Her health insurance didn’t cover the costs of a reconstructive surgery so she became a ‘foundation’ patient


Treatment plan:
