This UK fellow came over last week and wanted repair of balding frontal triangles and the anterior hairline. I thought that would take 13-1500 grafts. He wanted to have additional grafts placed into a thinning hair region behind the frontal “tuft”. I have posted and explained to him that I was not in favor of putting a lot of grafts here, as I think it will only temporarily fix the balding…and that when additional hair destined to bald goes, that he may think my transplants “didn’t work”. Rather, I’d push for waiting until balder and then hitting that area with a big case. He thought about these issues and came prepared to do a smallish case in the thinning areas, hitting only places that really didn’t have any hair in them and acknowledging that he’ll need more work with future loss.
We did 1110 FUEs on day 1, and he returned the next day and we did 827. Feller 1.0 and a modified 1.1mm hand punches were used. He tolerated the procedure well and flew out the next day, hopefully he’ll chime in and describe his experience. The grafts looked really good, and I’m hopeful that he’ll get a nice result.
