Bad hair surgery outcome: FUE - BHT repair of the worst case

Back


Dr Sanusi Umar repairs the worst case of bad hair surgical outcomes from prior procedures a patient underwent at other clinics. Some experts have considered this case the most extreme of poor hair surgical outcomes of note today. Many would understandably consider the patient's prior condition as evidence of botched surgeries and even surgical disasters. These procedures were commonly performed decades ago by clinics of the day when better options for hair restorations were yet to be developed. Disfigurement and scarring resulting from these antiquated techniques have remained a major source of anguish for many affected patients who have had to live secluded lives under hats and creative hairpieces for fear of ridicule. Body hair to head transplantation ( Body hair transplant ) has offered a ray of hope for some of these patients who are often out of options having depleted their traditional head donor supplies. The procedure is commonly called Body Hair Transplantation (BHT). Dr Umar uses BHT in patients that have a relative or absolute lack of traditional donor sources. In this case, the patient had lost his head donor after multiple antiquated scalp surgeries at other clinics, which left him still very bald with many disfiguring scars. The procedures incuded multiple scalp reductions, strip and punch hair transplants with the creation of unnatural plugs in the frontal scalp and hairline. He had ridging and pitting from these pluggy transplants. His temples and the half of his head was devoid of hair from progression of hairloss as well as the displacement of the area to the vertex by excessive scalp reduction. The crown had been deformed to form a slot with abnormally angled hair fanning out from it. Before seeing Dr Umar he underwent a double flap procedure at another clinic to correct for the poorly angled hair in his back. Having run out of traditional head donor hair, he was left with no hair transplant repair option. He went to see Dr Umar about using body hair as his only resort. Dr Umar carried out the repair using about 15000 chest, stomach, shoulders hair grafts, 6000 beard and only about 1000 head hair grafts. The procedure was completed in 3 major sessions at 6 monthly intervals. The result shown at the video was recorded at only 6 months after the last repair session. With yet more improvement to follow in the ensuing 9-12 months, the patient's life is already transformed from the progress made thus far to that of fulfillment and confidence. As the patient states, "I have gotten my smile back"... Updates on this patients would follow... The technique by which Dr Umar performs BHT is called Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET). This is his version of the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The procedure is performed at his Redondo Beach office in California. DermHair Clinic is a division of FineTouch Dermatology Inc. Dr Umar is a fellowship trained cosmetic surgeon, and Certified dually by the American Boards of Dermatology and Internal Medicine.
