Hair Follicle Surgery Testimonial

Hair Transplant Case Study: Patient Journey

This patient underwent a 2934 graft FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) hair transplant, completed over a 1-day procedure, with planning and incision design carried out the evening prior to surgery.

Treatment Overview

• Technique: FUE (Follicular Unit Excision)
• Grafts Transplanted: 2934 follicle units
• Donor Area: Safe Donor Area (SDA)
• Adjunct Treatment: Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) at 6.5 months post-op
• Pre-treatment: Stabilisation of Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)

Approach at HSW Clinic

At HSW Clinic, achieving natural, long-lasting results requires a combination of medical science and surgical precision.

The process begins with stabilising Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) through medical treatment. This ensures a solid foundation before any transplant procedure is considered.

Each case is then carefully planned based on:

• Donor vs recipient area ratio
• Patient age and long-term goals
• Hair characteristics and density

Final results are enhanced through artistic placement of grafts and, where appropriate, SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation), typically performed 6–12 months post-op.

Personalised Consultation

Every patient undergoes a detailed consultation with Dr Andre Nel, including:

• Hair loss assessment
• Medical history review
• Physical and psychological evaluation
• Treatment planning and graft estimation

This ensures the treatment plan is fully tailored and aligned with the patient’s expectations and long-term results.

Tailored Treatment Plan

For this patient, 2934 grafts were transplanted into the frontal zone, including:

• Hairline
• Fronto-temporal angles
• Frontal core area

Precise graft placement was essential to achieve natural density and hairline design, while maintaining donor area integrity.

The Day of Surgery

The procedure was structured for maximum comfort and precision:

• Planning and incisions completed the evening before
• FUE extraction and implantation performed on surgery day
• Patient supported throughout by an experienced clinical team
• Transport arranged personally by Dr Nel

Post-Operative Care & Follow-Up

Comprehensive aftercare is a key part of achieving optimal results:

• Day 1: Post-op care instructions and hair washing guidance
• Day 10: Healing progress check
• 3 months: Early growth review
• 6 months: Mid-stage results assessment
• 10–12 months: Final outcome evaluation
