The Challenges of Long-Hair FUE

Despite long-hair FUE’s appeal, performing this procedure can be very challenging. Long-hair FUE procedures use traditional notched or slotted punch tools, but they often require high manual precision and can increase the risk of hair shaft breakage during extraction. The hair is also prone to breakage during the extraction process.

Dr. Sanusi Umar Addresses Long-Hair FUE with His Patented Dr.UGraft® Zeus Device

This is why Dr. Sanusi Umar felt compelled to advance the field of long-hair FUE. He invented the Dr.UGraft® Zeus Device, a FUE device that performs long-hair FUE without the use of recessed punch tools. The device makes use of the Intelligent Punch, an all-purpose punch patented by Dr. Umar. It features a flared, frustoconical cutting tip designed to accommodate a wide range of follicle types, including long, curly, and textured hair. 

Meanwhile, the Zeus Console is a compact, portable device that offers preset FUE modes. This makes it adaptable to any hair or skin type. Due to the design of the Dr.UGraft® Zeus Device, it is the only all-purpose device capable of performing FUE on textured hair, including type 4c Afro hair. It is the most versatile and inclusive option for dermatologists and hair transplant surgeons.

According to a global, peer-reviewed study published by Dr. Umar, the use of the Dr.UGraft® Zeus system resulted in a low graft transection rate (GTR), a low shaft breakage rate (SBR), a quicker procedure speed, and a higher surgeon adoption rate compared to recessed punch long-hair FUE devices. 

A Solution For Celebrities and Influencers

Celebrities and influencers are always under public scrutiny, and every little move they make is judged online. While there’s nothing controversial about getting a hair transplant, it can still become fodder for the rumour mill. Since the Dr.UGraft® Zeus Device can harvest longer hairs without breakage, longer hairs can be transplanted into the problem area and can disguise swelling and wound healing. 

A Discreet Option for Executives and Professionals

High-level executives meet with different clients, business owners, stakeholders, and colleagues. While they’re not necessarily in the limelight the way celebrities are, they still need to look professional. They usually can’t get that much time off work, too, especially when they have such demanding schedules. The Dr.UGraft® Zeus Device can give these professionals discreet results. This allows them to jump back into work meetings, client presentations, and business dinners.

A Sensible Choice For Women

According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, 87.3% of hair transplant procedures in 2022 were performed on men. Meanwhile, only 12.7% were performed on women. Shaving one’s head to harvest grafts might not be an option for women. Since the Dr.UGraft® Zeus Device can harvest long hair, hair transplant surgery has become a viable option for women suffering from different types of alopecia. 

An Inclusive Invention For Afro-Textured Hair

The device has minimal assist navigational (MAN) ability. The punch self-navigates and adjusts its trajectory in real-time to correct misalignments, reducing the risk of follicle transection and shaft breakage. The MAN ability has made the Dr.UGraft® Zeus successful among patients of African descent with type 4 hair textures. They are a challenging group when it comes to traditional FUE. 

Follicular unit excision often yields inconsistent results in patients of African descent and those with afro-textured hair. Innovations in standard FUE often leave these communities behind. Factors like hair texture and skin thickness lead to low or inadequate graft yields. Dr. Umar tackled these problems head-on when he factored in these conditions when inventing the Dr.UGraft® Zeus, and an independent study by him showed consistent access in African-descent patients who underwent FUE using the device, with less than 10% of follicular units showing breakage or transection.

Long-Hair FUE Done Right With The Dr.UGraft® Zeus System

By developing an all-purpose FUE device through the Dr.UGraft® Zeus, Dr. Umar has shown how understanding patient pain points and prioritizing inclusivity can lead to innovation and advancement in FUE technology. Today, the Dr.UGraft® Zeus is the most advanced tool for performing Long-Hair FUE across all hair types. This includes 4c afro-textured hair.  “I’m not the inventor of the technique,” he acknowledges. “I invented the best technology for the technique. It is a system that is now widely used as the premium tool for performing the procedure by doctors globally. I have also published the most compelling peer-reviewed global multicenter study on the subject.”

For individuals who need long-hair FUE done right, Dr. Umar, as the inventor of the Dr.UGraft® Zeus is the expert to see. To schedule a consultation, fill out the Dr. U Skin and Hair Clinic online consultation form. 

Individual results may vary. This story reflects a sample size of patients who have gone through hair transplant surgery with the Dr.UGraft® Zeus system. Consult with a physician for personalized advice.

Los Angeles Best body hair transplant repair Using Dr UGraft FUE Hair Transplant System

Body hair transplant procedures can offer new hope for repair patients by enabling the creation of large donor pools. Many of them are left with very minimal…

Repairing Older Hair Restoration Results For Newport Beach Patient – Before Photos:

Before seeking out Dr. U’s expertise, this patient underwent 35 years of struggling with unsuccessful results from antiquated hair restoration methods at other clinics. He tried different types of surgeries with various doctors, but ultimately the transplanted hair would always fall out.

All of the patient’s procedures with other doctors were very invasive and depleted his head donor pool. Throughout his 35 year hair restoration journey, this patient underwent plug extractions, 6 scalp reductions and strip surgery resulting in 3 strip scars around his scalp. The patient also had flap surgery and implemented the use of scalp stretching devices before turning to Dr. U. All of these older methods implemented by other doctors are now outdated.

After 35 years of surgeries, the patient was left unhappy with residual areas of baldness and a lack of density throughout his scalp.  Besides still showing areas of baldness, he had several large plug extraction scars on the back of his head.

Dr.UGraft Hair Surgery Correction – Procedure Photos:

Besides wanting to deal with his overall scalp donor depletion, this patient wanted his hairline advanced and refined for a more natural look. But after his previous surgeries, he did not have enough head donor hair to carry out his hair surgery correction. In order to achieve the desired outcomes, Dr. U. implemented the Dr.UGraft FUE transplant system. Unlike basic FUE that only uses the head donor area, the Dr.Ugraft utilizes facial, body and nape hair as well.

Dr. U. has been performing hair surgery corrections using the Dr.Ugraft for many years. For this procedure, Dr. U. was able to consistently and successfully extract body hair grafts with the use of the patented smart rotary called Dr.UPunch i . Unlike with hair plugs, this tool allowed for the precise harvesting of the patient’s chest, beard and nape hair. In total the patient underwent two surgeries with Dr. U. that required 7300 grafts.

The lack of limitations of the Dr.Ugraft method expanded this Newport Beach patient’s donor pool allowing for a significantly higher hair transplant rate. 

Dr.UGraft As the Best Corrective Hair Surgery– Before and After Results Photos:

When this Newport Beach patient found Dr. U on YouTube, he had almost given up all hope of ever restoring his natural head of hair. He regained confidence after learning about how body hair follicles can be used to create the abundant coverage he needed to restore a natural appearance while hiding the scars and damage created by previous procedures. Fast forward three and a half years later and Dr. U had performed two sessions of corrective hair surgery. The happy patient and his results are shown one year after his last surgery with Dr. U.

The use of chest, beard and nape hair allowed Dr. U. to achieve the optimal hair surgery correction. The patient’s hairline was now restored and looks like it did in 1964 when he was in college. He was overall ecstatic with the results of his corrective hair surgery. He was even more excited to show off his natural full head of hair to his frat brothers at his upcoming college reunion.

The patient now combs his thick new hair without worrying about significant hair loss or exposing hair plugs. The hair surgery correction transplanted body hair that is resilient and looks natural.  There are no major signs of thinning and the previous scarring is covered up.

After 35 years of outdated attempts to restore his natural full head of hair with other doctors, this patient turned to Dr. U for corrective hair surgery. After two Dr.UGraft surgeries using the patient’s body hair follicles, he now has a restored hairline and a thick full head of hair.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dr.UGraft Hair Surgery Correction

Is body hair transplantation the only way to repair the signs of hair plugs, scalp reductions and outdated procedures in general?

The use of body hair is an excellent option to repair the mistakes from outdated procedures. Head hair is always prioritized over the use of body hair. But when the scalp is depleted, there are no other viable options for harvesting hair follicles. Due to the precise nature of the Dr.UGraft BHT FUE, the procedure can utilize a greater number of grafts (through the use of body hair) compared to the limited older methods. With more grafts, patients can see more coverage and better growth. 

Is it ever too late to undergo procedures intended for repairing older hair restoration results?

It is never too late to explore your options for hair restoration. The Dr.UGraft method enables wider range of solutions for various hair transplant challenges. Dr. U. has been successful at repairing old hair restoration results with the use of body hair and his patented Dr.UGraft procedure.

Are body hair transplant success rates generally high or does it depend on which doctor you choose?

Success rate is highly dependent on the clinic and the technology used by the doctor who is performing corrective hair surgery. As an informed patient, you always want to choose the professional who has a long successful track record with body hair transplants.  Dr. U, for example, has an extensive repository of successful patient cases in the form of before and after images as well as videos depicting their experience as well as their personal testimony. The success of these procedures is largely due to the ability to harvest healthy, robust grafts, minimizing damage in the form of human or mechanical error as well as air exposure. When grafts survive long term, they are able to produce the growth and coverage desired by patients.

Can medications like Rogaine and Propecia help with hair transplants gone wrong?

These medications are meant for less severe balding and hair depletion. When hair transplants go wrong, it is usually the case that many of the grafts did not survive to produce new hair. Once the follicle dies, medication will not help to turn things around. Corrective hair surgery is always the best and most optimal way for repairing older hair restoration results or hair transplant mistakes in general.

Event he severely scarred and depleted can rely on Dr. U’s expertise when it comes to the restoration of their hair. To inquire further, you can submit any unanswered questions through the following online form:

Frequently Asked Questions – Dr.UGraft FUE Repair

Can a patient request their results resemble a celebrities’ hair or look?

Yes, celebrity hair transplant requests are very common. Typically when a new patient is being consulted for cosmetic surgery, they have their ideal look in mind. Often times this look resembles a celebrity that they wish to emulate. While Dr. Umar cannot guarantee that you look like this particular celebrity, he does use their look as inspiration during the hair transplant or restoration procedure.

For instance, the patient feature, in this case, expressed the desire to have a ‘Bono haircut’, like the famous musician. The patient was very satisfied with the final results and his hairline and style closely resembled the aforementioned celebrity.

Can a bad hair transplant be reversed?

In most cases, a hair transplant reversal is possible. If the patient has a visibly “pluggy” outcome, small follicular units can be used to camouflage the larger, older grafts. If the patient desires, large grafts from a previous transplant can also be removed. However, using the Dr.UGraft technique, it is possible to repair a hair transplant and restore hair, even if the head donor source is depleted. Additionally, severe scarring on the back and sides of the head were repaired by Dr. Umar’s Dr.UGraft methods

How does Dr. Umar restore hair and repair hair transplant scars?

Dr. Umar uses his signature Dr.UGraft technique to perform an FUE procedure using either head donor hair, body donor hair, or both. He then grafts the follicular units directly into the strip scar, effectively hiding it.

Apart from doing a Dr.UGraft hair transplant on scar, what other alternatives exist for scalp scar repair?

In some cases, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can be used to camouflage scarring from a bad hair surgery outcome. This is an option for patients with dark hair who like to wear their hair short. However, SMP will do little to hide a scar on a patient with light hair or who like to wear their hair long.

Can hair be implanted into scar tissue?

Yes, FUE grafts can be implanted directly implanted into scar tissue. Depending on the amount of scar tissue, your surgeon might remove part of the scar before implanting hair into the area. Your surgeon might also implant hair into the area surrounding the scar to further camouflage the area.

Before Hair Transplant Repair at a Young Age Photos:

1. Grossly asymmetric hairline and frontal scalp
2. Unremitting baldness
3. Depleted head donor

Yes! The Dr.UGraft has outstanding results in unnatural or crooked hairline repair, even in patients who have not experienced hair loss. The unique design of the Dr,UGraft allows Dr. Umar to construct a symmetrical hairline in any patient.

Hair Transplant Repair of Strip Surgery: Before Photos

This recent patient underwent a series of strip and FUE surgeries at another hair clinic in Los Angeles. In the prior clinic, the attempt was made using basic FUE and strip surgery solely relying on his head donor supply. This approach left the patient with extensive baldness and depleted head donor supply with a donor scar to boot. The failure of his surgeries also caused the patient a loss of faith and psychological anguish.

This approach by other doctors caused further depletion of the patient’s hair and more strip scarring. It also provides a good example of why surgeons should use body hair rather early in the process of hair restoration. A Norwood 6 type patient should never rely solely on head grafts for a full restoration or repair.

The exclusive use of the head donor hair has caused a depleted donor area. Even worse, his balding continued to progress, leaving him looking horribly disfigured. The photo below shows how the earlier procedures resulted in an odd hair pattern and an unblended hairline because of the progression of his baldness.

The Solution: Successful Repair of Strip Surgery – Before & After Photo

The patient’s leap of faith—and his meeting with Dr. Umar—paid off! Dr. Umar implemented his Dr.UGraft system for the successful repair and rehabilitation of the patient’s scalp. Dr. Umar completed the surgery using roughly: 3150 beard grafts, 1550 head grafts, 1300 nape grafts, and 500 chest grafts.

The restoration procedure left no lasting indications that he lost any facial hair from the Dr.UGraft body hair transplant.

Repairing Donor Hair Depleted Patient Using Dr.UGraft Frequently Asked Questions:

Hair transplant not enough donor: Other doctors have told me they can only use head hair in hair transplant surgery. What about the Dr.UGraft allows to use body hair for restoring donor areas?

The Dr.UGraft system was developed by Dr. Umar to treat a variety of hair loss-related conditions. For that reason, Dr. Umar invented the Dr.UPunch tool to allow for safe and effective transplantation of hair from anywhere on the body without damaging the grafts.

My previous surgeries have exhausted my head donor area and I am still bald. Why is this donor area alone not sufficient in addressing my severe baldness?

A patient with Norwood 6 or 7 is already severely lacking in hair follicles, and the remaining hair is not enough to cover the whole head without causing balding elsewhere. By using body hair Dr. Umar can create a thick head of hair without thinning the remaining head hair.

Scalp Reduction and Crown Deformity Repair: Before Photos

Before seeing Dr. Umar, this patient opted for several hair transplants and a scalp reduction at a different clinic. These other outdated hair surgical methods also did little to address the lack of coverage on the patient’s crown. Worse, the patient had scarring and an unbalanced hairline.
The images below show his hairline before surgery.

In addition, this patient ended up with round “Black and Decker” punch scars on the back of his scalp. This always required the patient to wear a hairstyle of a certain length to conceal the scars.

Scalp Reduction and Progressive Hair Loss Repair – Frequently Asked Questions:

Exactly how does scalp reduction work, as opposed to the Dr.UGraft?

Scalp reduction involves the removal of skin from the head to reduce baldness. After the skin is excised, a surgeon then closes the wound, pulling the surrounding scalp together. In theory, scalp reduction reduces the appearance of baldness by adjusting the skin with remaining hair to cover the entire head. Scalp reduction has a long history of scarring as well as unnatural-looking results. Because of its invasive nature, scalp reduction surgeries also require hospitalization.

By contrast, the minimally-invasive Dr.UGraft surgery is performed in Dr. Umar’s Los Angeles office and requires only local anesthesia. A patient can go home afterward without any worry of complications.

What guide does Dr. Umar use to balance out or restore a patient’s hairline?

Dr. Umar uses an approach known as the “rule of thirds” to best treat his patients. In short, he divides the head up into sections, which allows him to create a symmetrical design for the new hairline. The nature of Dr.UGraft allows Dr. Umar to place transplanted hair with great precision, thus creating a totally natural-looking hairline.

How To Fix Hair Transplant Failure – Before Visiting Dr. Umar:

In a bid to address this patient Norwood 6 area of hair loss (severe hair loss) the clinic he went to which is not equipped to utilize body or beard hair efficiently, they tried to aggressively harvest all his available head donor. Despite doing this and exhausting his head donor in the process, the patient was still very bald.

Significantly bald patients and those destined to be severely bald should not attempt a complete restoration using head donor hair alone. For this reason, Dr. Umar implements his Dr.UGraft system that allows for the use of body and beard hair grafts.

As seen in the photo below, the patient’s head donor has been decimated with a still very bald pate. He thus sought to fix his old hair transplants by visiting Dr. U

The Solution – Over Harvested Donor and Severe Baldness Repaired: Before and After Photos

In this patient’s case, Dr. Umar recommended a body hair transplant repair using beard and chest hair. Dr. Umar harvested 6000 Dr.UGrafts from the beard, chest, and nape areas. This precise approach radically improved the overall look, thickness, and strength of this patient’s hair.

The photo below shows the results are 5 months after the surgery.

Dr. Umar used the following areas of the patient’s body were utilized in harvesting grafts:

• Beard – 3566
• Chest – 1076
• Nape – 570

Fix Hair Transplant Failure – Frequently Asked Questions:

I have severe scarring from a previous hair surgery. Can Dr. Umar help me?

Yes! Many patients experience visible scarring after previous hair surgeries. The innovation of Dr.UGraft also allows Dr. Umar to treat these scars by implanting new hair into the affected area. This effectively conceals the scars to the naked eye, leaving patients with a thick head of natural-looking hair.

Do all patients show the same level of growth as this patient five months after surgery?

The time required to see new hair growth varies from patient to patient. In general, new growth begins about a month after surgery and continues thereafter. Growth can take up to a year to reach fullness.
