Patient Has His Severe Baldness Cured by Dr. Umar

Severe Baldness Cured By the Umar Procedure

The patient presented in this video was not ready to settle for a bald crown and a higher aged hairline that traditional hair transplantation would have offered. Having estimated that his head donor supply cannot meet his demand for global coverage he visited Dr. Umar with the hopes of undergoing BHT using The UGraft advanced FUE procedure. Traditional hair transplants tend to create an illusion of coverage. An illusion of coverage can only be achieved if the hair is kept long, and therefore full hair restoration has yet to be achieved. However, with BHT and The UGraft Procedure, actual coverage and not an illusion of coverage will be the outcome, and that allowed the patient in this video to be able to have a short hairstyle. This patient can sport a crew cut without exposing a linear scar. Further, he still has an ample supply of donor hair for touch ups and other future procedures.

Using a combination of head, body, and beard hair, Dr. Umar was able to perform a high volume hair transplant with a transfer of about 20,000 grafts to the patient’s entire balding area in the course of two surgeries spaced one year apart. 5,500 grafts were from head donor hairs, and 15,000 grafts came from the nape, beard, chest, abdomen, legs, and arms. The result at 1 year after the last surgery (with still more improvement coming) is a fuller look or with the back and sides of the head still pristine and not overharvested and devoid of a strip scar, which could have limited his hair styling options significantly.

The technique by which Dr. Umar transplants beard hair, UGraft FUE is his advanced version of the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The “UGraft Procedure” is knife-free, and the protocol has enabled the transfer of hair from the back of the head, body, and beard to the balding areas of the head. Dr. Umar has found the application of body and beard to hair to be also very useful for the treatment of hair transplant reparations.

The procedure is performed at Dr. Umar’s offices in Redondo Beach and Beverly Hills. Dr. Umar is a cosmetic surgeon, and Certified by the American Board of Dermatology in Los Angeles. For more information, please call DermHair Clinic in Los Angeles at (310)318-1500, or do a free online consultation.
