Treatment Plan and Procedure Details
-
Procedure Date: 16 November 2022
-
Technique Used: I-FUE (I Follicular Unit Extraction)
-
Post-Transplant Treatment: Minoxidil 5 percent, DHT blocker, supplements, and 2 PRP sessions at 3-month intervals within 6 months
Step-by-Step Hair Transplant Process
1. Hairline Designing and Planning
A personalized, natural, and age-appropriate hairline was designed for the front area.
A detailed trichoscopy test was done to check:
-
Donor area hair quality
-
Existing hair quality at the recipient area
Findings: Thick, black, strong donor hair suitable for high-density placement.
2. Pre-Procedure Preparation
-
An allergy test for anesthesia was done, and results were safe.
-
Scalp was shaved and cleaned with Betadine
-
Local modified block anesthesia was administered using a vibration-based technique for minimal discomfort.
3. Graft Extraction
-
Extraction was done using a 0.8 mm sharp, serrated sterile titanium punch under magnification.
-
Total extraction time was approximately 80 minutes.
Graft Quality Analysis:
-
Hair type: Medium thick, black
-
Single grafts: 15 percent
-
Double and triple grafts: 85 percent
-
Total grafts extracted: More than 4000
A high percentage of multi-root grafts indicates a good advantage for achieving high density.
4. Graft Storage
Extracted grafts were stored in a graft chiller machine at 4 degrees Celsius in Ringer’s Lactate solution to maintain freshness and survival.
5. Graft Implantation
Implantation was done using K.E.E.P. Implanters of different sizes for 1, 2, and 3 follicular unit grafts. Approximate implantation time: 2 hours
After implantation, dressing was done, medicines were given, and all precautions were explained. A direct contact number of the doctor was shared for follow-up and queries.

One PRP session was given in the 2nd month.
