PATIENT # 16

This lady is in her 40’s and presented with hair loss due to several factors: traction, CCCA, and hereditary recession. She had an unusually good donor area and wanted to do as many grafts as possible. We performed strip FUT which yielded 3,514 grafts (1-748, 2-2559, 3-207). We concentrated the grafts in a band along the front but did put in about 500 grafts in the center-top as well. She returned at 18 months for a followup and was extremely pleased with the results. She was styling her hair with an at home ‘jheri curl’ type of process, which adds to the illusion of density. Her results were only possible given the well above average donor area she had.
