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.
Dr. 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. Patients in this situation had to settle for ill fitting usage of hairpieces(aka wigs, toupee). 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. BHT has offered a ray of hope for some of these patients who are often out of options having depleted their traditional head donor supplies.
This video presents a solution to scars that have resulted from previous strip surgery methods of hair transplantation. Dr. Sanusi Umar uses his innovative Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET) procedure as a form of Body Hair Transplantation (BHT) to transplant beard hair into two strip scars to successfully improve the appearance of the scar. The patient had undergone prior strip type surgical hair restoration at two separate clinics that left him with two strip scars in the back and sides of his head.
What you are about to see is the first in the history of hair transplantation. It is the first documented case in which leg hair alone was used to soften the hairline of the head.
Hairlines that result from traditional transplants tend to have a harsh straight line appearance because the hair derived from traditional donor hair areas are typically thick, even if they are single hairs. Fortunately, using his procedure known as Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET), Dr. Umar, world renowned BHT hair restoration surgeon, is able to use donor hair from other areas of the body with softer hair to create a more natural and softer looking hairline.
