PATIENT 5

3500 Grafts

 

In this detailed case study, we address a hair restoration procedure performed on a 30-year-old professional basketball player. The athlete sought to reverse hair loss that was affecting both his frontal scalp area and crown, aiming to regain the fullness of his hair for both professional and personal reasons.

​

Total Grafts Utilized: For this particular procedure, a total of 3,500 grafts were meticulously implanted.

​

Targeted Areas: The operation focused on the frontal region and the crown of the scalp, areas that were identified as having significant hair thinning or loss.

​

Methodology Adopted: The chosen technique for this sophisticated procedure was the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) using a Sapphire blade. This method is celebrated for its accuracy and the reduced healing time it offers, making it particularly suitable for individuals looking to achieve quick and effective results.

​

Duration of Treatment and Observations: Over a span of 5 months, remarkable progress was noted in the patient’s hair growth and overall scalp coverage.

​

The patient, a young athlete, expressed a desire to restore his previously receding hairline and to fill in the thinning areas at the crown of his head. Acknowledging the unique challenges and lifestyle of a professional sports player, a strategic approach was required to ensure not only the effectiveness of the treatment but also to accommodate the patient’s active schedule.

​

Upon completion of the procedure and throughout the recovery period, the patient witnessed substantial improvements in both the density and appearance of his hair. This successful outcome was achieved through the high-density implantation of the grafts, focusing on creating a natural-looking hairline and enhancing the crown area to ensure a seamless transition across treated areas.

​

The patient’s satisfaction with the results underscores the effectiveness of the FUE method with a Sapphire blade, reflecting the meticulous planning and execution of the procedure tailored to his specific needs. The restoration of his hair significantly boosted his confidence, positively impacting both his professional performance and personal well-being.

​

This case highlights the importance of a customized approach in hair restoration, where the specific concerns and lifestyle of the patient are carefully considered to ensure outcomes that not only meet but exceed their expectations, contributing to an enhanced quality of life.
