Procedure detail
A combination of FUT and FUE performed on a 36 year old Caucasian male with:
- NW III anterior Class N
- Donor density of ~90-104 FU/cm2 in the occipital donor region and ~84-90 FU/cm2 in the temporal donor regions
- Hair diameter of ~84-96 microns
- A wide linear scar from a previous surgery (ex domo)
Treatment plan:
- Scar revision in Follicular Unit Strip Technique to reduce the width of the existing linear scar (in my opinion, placing follicular units right into the scar was not an option due to the extreme width of the linear scar). A second minor FUE procedure to fill in the linear scar has been performed in September 2014
- Reconstruction of the hairline, temples and temporal peaks and add density to the central core
Performed procedure (November, 6th 2012):
Follicular Strip Transplantation with 1714 FU:
* 499 single hair FU
* 892 double hair FU
* 323 triple hair FU
Follicular Unit Extraction with 2236 FU:
* 199 single hair FU
* 1637 double hair FU
* 400 triple hair FU
Total number: 3950 FU
Double layer closing with PDS 4-0 absorbable sutures and disposable skin staples;
Extraction performed with a 0.85mm FUE punch with CIT Manual Punch Handle. No microscopic preparation of the follicular unit grafts;
Parallel incisions (single, double and triple units) were made in custom-sized blades technique (~Cutting Edge blades of 0.75mm – 0.95mm).
