Successful Hair Transplant Repair in African American Patient Using the Dr.UPunch i™

Dr Sanusi Umar MD — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 19:45:06 +0000

Patients of African descent often have trouble finding hair loss solutions because of the tightly curled nature of their hair. Such was the case for this patient. As he began to experience hair loss, he underwent a strip surgery at another clinic to mask loss at his hairline. The surgery left him with a visible head scar and very poor growth yield. He then underwent a basic FUE procedure to achieve the coverage he hoped for in both the hairline as well as the linear scar. However, a successful hair transplant repair for patients with Afro-textured hair requires tools with features that are specially designed to extract their uniquely shaped follicles. This is why he sought help from Dr. Umar, the inventor and practitioner of the Dr.UPunch i , an advanced FUE technology with specific features. The following case documents an example of a successful hair transplant repair in African American patients.

Hair Loss in Black Men – Before Photos of Pasadena, Los Angeles Patient Treated with the Dr.UPunch i

This patient from Pasadena, Los Angeles wanted Dr. Umar to repair the mistakes made from his past two hair transplant surgeries. These images show the minimal growth in the patient’s hairline as well as the highly visible permanent scar before treatment by Dr. Umar.

Receding hairlines in black men should be treated with specialized tools to help ensure the best yield possible. This African American patient did not experience the growth he wanted. *

Strip hair transplantation for African Americans is often not compatible with the fact that many men of this demographic prefer very short hairstyles. Therefore, linear scars are extremely visible *

After his direct personal experience with two past surgeries, this patient fully realized that a successful hair transplant repair in African American patients requires more specialized tools and methods. He felt very optimistic when he found Dr. Umar who designed his very own extraction devices with specially designed features that are capable of safely harvesting follicles in more challenging types of cases.

Dr. Umar used his patented Dr.UPunch i device to create a donor pool of 1200 grafts to restore the hairline and conceal the patient’s scar. When performing extractions for patients of African descent, Dr. Umar first uses his rotary punch, the Dr.UPunch i on a small number of hair follicle grafts. If the transection rate is 10% or higher, the Dr.UPunch Curl is then used instead.

However, in the case of this particular patient, the Dr.UPunch i served as an excellent tool for harvesting the targeted donor supply of 1200 grafts. Although this individual is of African descent, with a tightly curled hair, the rotary Dr.UPunch i was highly successful because it is nuanced to perform better than conventional FUE sharp punches in this scenario. Furthermore, the Dr.UPunch i was sufficient for cutting through the dermis and anchoring attachments without the need to apply excessive force.

The Dr.UPunch i is a hybrid rotary punch with a flared outer punch edge. The purpose of the flaring is to combine the benefits of a sharp and dull punch into a single structure. A dull, curved surface faces the follicular unit which is by far, a much safer scenario compared to exposing the graft to a sharp edge. Furthermore, in a flared punch configuration, the actual cutting edge points outward and away from the hair follicles as an added safety measure.

The Dr.UPunch i connects to The Dr.UGraft central console component which controls a water system powered by a foot pedal feature to deposit fluid onto the grafts in order to prevent them from being exposed to the air. This contributes to bulkier, more hydrated grafts that are then able to survive long-term and produce the expected growth yield.

Ten months after surgery, the Pasadena patient had a full head of natural looking hair. Dr. Umar reconstructed his hairline while rebuilding his temple points. He then used the remaining grafts to increase the density of coverage on the patient’s crown and to conceal the scar from his strip surgery. The patient can even wear a short-cut hair style without the scar showing, or without showing any signs of hair loss.

The photos below highlight the contrast. The patient’s happy expression speaks for itself!
