Dr Rahal - 1591 Grafts - FUE - Repair

[mattj]

This patient was aged 21 and had had a NeoGraft procedure elsewhere. The previous surgeon had used large punches (we suspect at least 1.2mm), used multi-hair units in the hairline and the overall design was poor.

The goal of the repair was to remove the grafts that were placed too low (especially the multi-hair units) redesign the hairline and add density further back behind the previous work. He had lost hair since his previous surgery.

An 8mm punch was used to remove the hairline grafts as well as for the donor extractions. The zone of extractions avoided as much as possible the previous area of large punches to balance out the donor.

Post-op photos were supplied by the patient at 9 and 10 months.

An obvious mistake to correct: an 0.8mm punch was used by Dr Rahal, not 8mm.
