The scar at the back of head is almost undetectable because of Trichophytic closure. A lot of people are scared of FUT surgery because of the scar. As you can see in the video it is barely visible. There is no tightness of the scalp or limitation in the movements because of the strip removal.
This case is one of the unique cases where you can see the follow-up of more than seven years. You can see there is slight thinning of the transplanted hair, but th existing hair have thinned out to some extent.
The patient was not put on finasteride & the results are still good & holding up pretty well, though we can see some thinning in the transplanted area & the area behind transplant. Finasteride may or may not keep working for 7 years as there are tolerance issues with finasteride & we have option of introducing finasteride even now, which can help in further sustenance of the results. This would not have been possible to get such prolonged results, had we given finasteride earlier in the beginning itself.
We are so used to see the results which are finasteride boosted. In such cases you will also consistently find a very high number of grafts being promised and results camouflaged with the help of finasteride. So that speaks volumes for the results.
