How much will it change if 4,000 hairs are planted?

 The most important key point is how much hair loss has occurred? How much hair will be collected?

And how strong is the hair?

This is a man in his mid 60s. He came to our clinic after seeing the transformation of a friend who had previously received a hair transplant.

His hair is overall thin, there is not much hair that can be collected, and there are a lot of places that need to be planted.

His friend had a hair transplant because his condition was worse than this, but he came to the hospital because his appearance had reversed.

In this case, calculating the amount of hair that needs transplantation is meaningless. The important thing is to measure how much can be harvested.

If you go to another place for consultation in this condition, they will give you this estimate.

5,500 hairs is enough. 6,000 hairs are possible using the mixed method.

In most cases, the estimate will be given by increasing the number of hairs in some way. Most of them are consulting directors, so they don't care about the results of the surgery, but they are thinking of raising the surgery fee. Because they have their own incentives.....

Even if a small amount of hair is planted, people who did not have hair before are happy because they feel like they have grown a lot of hair even though there is a small amount of hair, so in most cases there is no problem. However, you should know that there are many cases where the actual hair transplant was small and the cost was excessive.

I know very well, he is in his mid 60s. It is quite difficult to collect 4,000 hairs through incision when the condition of the back of the head is so poor...

The average density of hair was measured by measuring several places on the back of the head using a hair magnifier.

After taking into account the elasticity of the back of the head and the natural loss of hair due to age, the result was 4,141 hairs. It's a little more than expected. I thought it would be around 3500 pieces...

So, I gave an estimate of 4,000 hairs and told them to do it through incisions.

The reason I told him to make an incision was to guide him to make a complete non-incision if he wanted to add a second hair transplant to the top of his head in the future, and I explained this to him.

If you don't make an incision, once you pull out the hair follicles, the hair follicles will move and the spot will become empty, so the more you do it, the less multiple hairs you will have.

The reason why we do not suggest a combination of incision and non-incision is because it is not very efficient to do additional non-incision after incision, and since there is incision hair, it takes a lot of effort to pull it out, and it often ends in red tape and leads to excessive costs. no see.

Depending on the level of satisfaction after the first treatment, he may choose not to do the second treatment or wait until later, but I don't think it's a good idea to mix it up and damage the non-incision hair that needs to be pulled out.

We made an incision and sutured it using the KNP suture technique.

I couldn't get a picture, but the chart says the scar is not visible.

This is a case where it is well sealed and has good salvage properties.

As planned, the hairline was created, the M-shaped area was transplanted first, and the density of the crown of the head was reinforced mainly in the middle. If there is a lot of hair, the density will be increased, but the obtained hair count was about 4,100. They must be placed appropriately to change their appearance.

After the transplant, mesotherapy management and PRP were performed as prescribed.

I told him to take hair loss medicine because he didn't want to take it.

He also encouraged the use of minoxidil and nutritional supplements.

And it's a year later.

It seems to be reasonably well laid out with 4,000 hairs.

However, there is always some regret.

If we had met a few years earlier, we would have done a better job...

Still, the customer is very satisfied.

Last comment. I told him that he would come once a year to get a prescription for medicine, and that if additional hair transplant was needed in the future, an intact non-incision hair transplant would remain.
