This young man presented with unhappiness over his previous surgery performed elsewhere. He said that he’d had 250 FUE’s done and was told to do the entire front with about 700 FUE’s in 3 sessions by the doctor. When he presented to me, it looked like fairly large punches were utilized.
I offered him a strip surgery, to both pack the entire thinning area, and to excise some of his scarred donor area.
When his hair was cut down to ¼ inch for slit placement, you can count the fairly chuncky grafts previously placed, and we simply packed lots of hair around them and in the entire recipient zone.
Shown are periop, 1week, and 6 week pictures when most of our work has already shed. Hopefully we’ll see some growth in early summer and a final picture next holiday season. He received 2071 grafts for this repair case.
