Mustache FUE Hair Transplant

, , , , , , ,

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who wanted a Tom Selleck circa Magnum PI mustache. His mustache was a little thin genetically.

I harvested just over 700 grafts via FUE using a 0.75mm extraction tip from the neck beard. That way I would be transferring hair from one area to another that has the same quality to it.

The “after” photos show the patient one week after the procedure and as you can see the scarring from the extractions in the donor area is almost invisible and the mustache appears significantly wider and denser than it was pre procedure. The patient will shed most of the transplanted mustache hairs and they will regrow starting at 3-4 months but this photo is a sneak peak into the final result that we should see in 9-12 months.

The patient is thrilled and excited to see his final results then.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, MD

Hair Transplant Patient With Scarring Alopecia

, , , ,

Greetings,

This is a very interesting patient of mine. This patient, whom both he and his wife happen to both be physicians, presented to me complaining of hair loss in the frontal scalp, sideburns, and eyebrows over a number of years. The patient denied any other medical conditions.

On examination I determined that the patient most likely had a form of scarring alopecia and referred the patient to a local dermatologist for confirmation. A biopsy confirmed Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and the pathology revealed that the disease appeared inactive.

After discussion with the patient and the treating Dermatologist we agreed that I would transplant a small number of test grafts in different areas of hair loss and we would see how they grew before proceeding with a larger procedure.

The test grafts grew well and the patient returned requesting a much larger procedure to create cosmetic density in the frontal scalp, sideburns, and eyebrows.

I explained to the patient that even if we were successful with the transplant procedure, there was always the possibility that the disease could recur in the future and possibly destroy the transplanted grafts. The patient understood and wished to proceed with the procedure.

The patient received 2521 grafts via FUT to the frontal scalp, mid scalp, and sideburns, and approximately 250 grafts per eyebrow. Care was taken not to pack the grafts too densely because of possible vascular compromise of the tissue to be transplanted secondary to the scarring alopecia process.

The results are shown after 1 year.

The patient is absolutely thrilled with his results and is now requesting a second procedure to increase the density.

I hope to provide updates in the future.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

1 Week After FUE Hair Transplant To Beard

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who wished to augment his beard and goatee region.

I extracted just over 1500 follicles from the scalp with a .85mm punch tip and using a flat blade to create coronal incisions which keep the hair lying flatter on the skin, I created the receptor sites for the beard grafts.

The photos below show the beard before and 1 week afterward as well as the donor region.

With the small extraction tip the donor regions heal very quickly with almost no visible sign of donor harvest after 1 week.

There is still a bit of redness in the beard which should resolve over the next few weeks.

The transplanted hair will start to shed after 1 week and will then regrow after 12 weeks with approximately half the result at 6 months and the full result at 12 months.

This is sneak peak into the patient’s final result and he is already thrilled.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Beard Transplant

,

Greetings,

With all the recent press surrounding beard transplants I wanted to highlight a patient of mine. This patient had 2 bald patches in his beard in the same spot on both sides. This is genetic and a very common phenomenon. In this case I harvested the donor hair from his neck beard via FUE and transplanted the grafts into the bald patches. The result is shown 10 months later. The patient was very happy with his results.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.
