PATIENT DETAILS
Patient Name: Anonymous
Age: 35
Gender: Male
CASE OVERVIEW
Symptoms:
The patient reported significant hair thinning and receding hairline over the past five years, primarily in the frontal and crown regions. He expressed concerns about his appearance and noted a loss of confidence due to his hair loss.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The patient had been experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), a hereditary condition leading to gradual hair loss. Despite trying over-the-counter hair regrowth treatments such as topical minoxidil, the patient did not observe significant improvement. He sought a permanent solution and opted for a hair transplant in Hyderabad at Redefine Hair Transplant and Plastic Surgery Center under the care of Dr. Harikiran Chekuri, a leading hair transplant surgeon.
During the consultation, Dr. Harikiran Chekuri, along with the medical team, assessed the patient’s hair density, scalp condition, and donor area suitability (back of the head). The patient’s goals and expectations were discussed in detail to create a customized treatment plan focused on achieving natural-looking results.
TESTS PERFORMED
Scalp Analysis
- Evaluated hair density in both donor and recipient areas using dermatoscopy.
- Assessed the scalp’s health for suitability for transplantation.
Blood Tests
- Routine blood work to rule out underlying conditions affecting hair loss (e.g., thyroid disorders, anemia).
- Tests for infections or coagulation issues to ensure procedural safety.
Allergy Tests
- Checked for potential allergic reactions to anesthesia or medications used during and after the procedure.
Hair Transplant Treatment
Procedure: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplantation
- Individual hair follicles were extracted from the donor area at the back of the scalp.
- Meticulous graft placement ensured natural density and alignment, focusing on the frontal hairline and crown.
- Advanced tools minimized damage to surrounding follicles, ensuring optimal graft survival.
Duration: The procedure lasted approximately 7 hours, completed in a single session.
Technology Used:
- State-of-the-art FUE instruments for precise graft extraction.
- Microscopic dissection for follicle preparation.
Post-treatment Guidelines
Immediate Care
- Avoid touching or scratching the grafted area.
- Sleep with the head elevated to reduce swelling.
Medications
- Prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs and mild pain relievers to manage discomfort.
Hair Care
- Use the provided mild shampoo after 3 days, following specific washing instructions.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for 2 weeks.
Lifestyle Modifications
- Refrain from smoking and alcohol for 1 month to promote healing.
- Avoid strenuous activities and swimming for at least 3 weeks.
Follow-up
- Scheduled check-ups at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure to monitor progress.
