Patient profile:
Age - early 20's
Donor supply - @ 7000
Using Propecia for 10 months
For patients that want to do FUE but are unable to pull off a full donor shave, we do offer a "band shave" FUE which allows a patient to undergo extraction with the ability to conceal the extracted region.
Often the downside with this approach is that it limits the amount of grafts that we can safely extract from a more concentrated area but for this patient considering his early age and propensity for potential full head baldness given his family history, doing an FUE of 616 grafts accomplished a meaningful change while considering the big picture. This patient still has over 6000 grafts to be used for future planning.
