The patient presented in this video had prior strip surgery at another facility by another hair transplant doctor. After the procedure at the other hair transplant clinic, his hair loss was compounded and actually made worse by a huge strip scar, and a pluggy and straight hairline which looked unnatural, especially when grown out. At the time of the patient's initial consultation with Dr Umar in Los Angeles, his NW 6 area needed coverage, he needed density added to the previously transplanted area, and he needed his largely empty crown filled. The patient wanted his large strip scar to be grafted and his hairline changed to resemble the hairline of a celebrity in a picture he had.
To perform this hair transplant repair surgery, Dr. Umar utilized a body hair transplantation (BHT) procedure, which allowed the doctor to take donor hair from the non-head hair areas of the beard, leg hair, and nape. The recipient areas that used the leg hairs included the hairline and NW 6 area. The NW 6 area and the scar used the beard hairs for restoration, and the NW 6 area also used nape hair. |
