Second FUE Hair Transplant Procedure
Follow-Up Hair Transplant Surgery After Five Years
Our patient Jeff began losing his hair in his twenties and was progressively losing his hair early in life. At the Hair Restoration Center of Connecticut, Dr. Scott Boden treats young, early hair loss in men with an experienced, conservative approach.
Jeff was originally prescribed hair loss medication and monitored for over a year before having his first hair transplant. The hairline design was properly designed to blend with his temporal recession and, in anticipation of further hair loss, even while taking hair-loss maintenance medication, to slow his hair loss.
His FUE hair transplant procedure, 5 years earlier, was successful, but the crown continued to thin.
Prior to his procedure, the patient reviewed the hairline design to reinforce his existing hair transplant.

Crown Hair Transplant
Dr. Boden limited shaving of the patient's hair to the donor region so he could aesthetically recover quickly, and after 2 weeks, he would have no visible signs of surgery.
The FUE technique allows the surgeon flexibility in harvesting the hair from the donor area. Dr. Boden worked around the previously harvested areas and then prepared the recipient sites in the thinning areas of the crown and hairline.
The experienced surgical team safely placed the grafts in the recipient area without shaving.
Surgery Day Video
In the video, Dr. Boden and his patient, Jeff, review what was to be done during surgery and he marks out the area along the previously transplanted hairline where he plans to refine and densify the area.
We also view the actual surgery and follow Jeff throughout the surgical day.
