Dear forum members/viewers,
This patient is from London and underwent FUE hair transplant by Dr Arshad in our West Yorkshire surgery centre. The results below are shown 9 months after surgery. This patient is happy to share his experience and has posted his journey on his Instagram account ( @pearcemcdonough )along with a comb through video that he has taken himself.
Graft count:
Soft single FU - 74
Medium single FU - 223
Large single FU - 43
Double hair FU - 1604
Triple/+ hair FU - 1000
Total = 2944
Meds - Finasteride 1mg / Minoxidil 5%
PLEASE NOTE:
Individual patient results and the onset/rate of growth from transplanted grafts may vary considerably between patients. The overall yield and appearance of density from a hair transplant is dependent on many factors including but not limited to:
The extent of surface area that requires grafting (most patients with advanced hair loss will require 2 surgeries to reach reasonably good density).
The blood supply to a particular area of the scalp (this varies from patient to patient).
The extent and duration of the inflammatory response of the scalp post operative (this varies from patient to patient, in patients with persisting perifollicular erythema post operatively we recommend use of Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo).
The texture, size and colour of the hair (large hair calibre provides better coverage, lighter skin to darker hair colour contrast requires more grafts for appearance of density).
The innate ability of the hair follicles to withstand the trauma of surgery (this varies from patient to patient & also from different regions of the scalp within the same individual).
The use of medications pre and post operatively (oral and topical DHT blockers, finasteride, Minoxidil and other anti-androgens).
External factors such as environmental stresses/smoking etc.
Regards,
The Hair Dr Clinic
