This makes the FUE hair transplant much less invasive, less painful, with less complications and quicker recovery, than other surgical methods of hair transplantation. In addition, because FUE hair transplants have become so popular, technology has advanced the tools used for the procedure and made the possible results as good or better than the FUT procedure when performed in the past.
This is because the donor zone has a finite number of hairs that can be donated and there is no way to re create these hairs. Once the maximum number of donor hairs has been harvested in the hair transplant, the patient has no other places to transplant it from other than beard or body hair as you cannot receive donor hair from another individual.
Donor hair must come from the recipients own scalp. This is why it is imperative that you choose a hair transplant surgeon with extensive experience performing FUE hair transplants and ideally a hair transplant surgeon that performs the extraction themselves. In Dr. Dauer also has 15 years of experience performing FUE hair transplants and routinely teaches other hair transplant physicians around the world his FUE hair transplant techniques.

You will also go over the hairline design and where you want the hairs to be placed. Then you are taken to procedure room and the required donor area on the back of the scalp is shaved. The back of scalp is numbed.
The frontal scalp is numbed as well. Behnam puts all of the recipient sites in the front of the scalp. He then individually extracts one graft at a time from the donor area.
Lunch is provided. According to the patient, this is one of the most relaxed days when they have had. Sean Behnam has performed many FUE hair transplantation procedures for patients with curly hair, including African Americans and those of Armenian descent.
Behnam is one of few physicians that can perform extractions on African-Americans. Since the graft under the skin curls, Dr. Behnam uses special techniques to curve his punch as he extracts the grafts so they are removed without being damaged. When it come to FUE hair transplants, experience counts, especially when extracting curly hair. Transection is when the hair shaft is dissected with the punch during the extraction method. Transection rate gets better with practice. Behnam has been performing Follicular Unit Extractions since and he performs them routinely.
His transection rates are around 0. Yes, we will shave the needed area in the donor section. The area will grow back within 10 days. Longer hair in the donor area is beneficial because we can shave below your long hair and the area can be covered with long hair.
Having done a strip hair transplant will not prevent you from having an FUE hair transplantation performed in the future. You would need to have a consultation with Dr. Behnam in order to make sure that there are enough donor follicles on the back of the scalp to allow for another hair transplant to take place.
Yes, if you have a scar in the back of the scalp from a previous strip method that you would like to conceal, we can very easily perform it. Hairs start to grow by the 3rd month and they continue to grow 1 inch every 3 months. By about 10 to 12 months, you can expect 3 to 4 inches of hair growth.
However, because Dr. Behnam places the grafts back into the body within 2 hours, this external stressors on the grafts are reduced and some of the grafts may start growing faster. Parking is underneath the office. For transplant patients on the day of the procedure, parking is validated. The bathroom is located within the facility, it is right across from the procedure room. You may use bathroom at anytime. Behnam has been performing a follicular unit extraction since He has modified the instruments required in the procedure and he has a proprietary instrument that is used to do the extractions.
The benefit for the extraction includes no linear cutting, no staples, no sutures, and no scalpels. Yes, Dr. Behnam specializes in extraction of hairs from other body parts to the scalp. He does prefer the hairs from the back of the scalp, the process is faster. Efforts to improve wound care treatment have focused on developing anti-inflammatory drugs and improving surgical techniques.
Extracellular Matrix ECM is the material which holds cells together in the bodies of all mammals. ECM is like an information super highway loaded with information telling cells to grow, divide, and differentiate. The ACell includes a combination of ECM, growth factors, and proteins which stimulate and guide the process of tissue regeneration.
The body recognizes the ECM signals and recruits the appropriate cell factors which differentiate according to what they should be. The process is a recapitulation of developmental biology. Behnam has performed over 4, hair transplant cases and over 3 million FUE hair transplant punches in his Los Angeles office. Below, Dr. Sean answers the most common FUE hair transplant questions.
Using the FUE method, 1, grafts were individually extracted and placed in the hairline and temples.

Procedure performed by Dr. Sean Behnam. Increased density achieved after one session of FUE. Sean Behnam uses different techniques and tools to successfully maneuver the skin and extract these curly follicles.
The decision to create the recipient sites first and then extract the grafts from the donor area is very important. By creating the sites first, this reduces the out of body time, increasing graft survival. Sean Behnam has done extensive research in this area to increase graft survival rates of FUE.
One of the most important aspects that has increased graft survival rate has been the decision to make the recipient sites first, before extracting. Traditionally in FUE, the grafts are extracted and then the donor sites are created. Although this does create a shorter day, this increases the out of body time of the grafts. Our grafts are placed back in the body within 1 to 3 hours so our patients have the best possible graft survival rate.
Also, at times the technicians can start placing the grafts while the grafts are being removed which reduces out of body time even more. The typical day begins with Dr. Sean Behnam and the patient discussing the plan where the grafts will be placed. Pictures are taken of the recipient area and the donor is shaved. Then the recipient site is numbed with lidocaine. Sean Behnam spends the amount of time needed to create the recipient sites.
Areas of baldness take less time than filling areas of thinning. This is because in areas of thinning the recipient sites must be created such that there is no damage to the existing hair. Regardless, Dr. Sean is committed to take as much as needed to create the sites to give the best possible outcome. Once all the sites are created for the day, there is a bagel break where the patient is given a snack and restroom break if needed. The donor area is numbed and extracting begins.
Multiple breaks are taken. Lunch is on us and usually taken between pm. After lunch the grafts are placed and the procedure is typically done around p. Typically a combination between short and long acting lidocaine is used to numb the area. Behnam uses special techniques to numb the nerve root. Imagine a tree and imagine numbing the root of a tree and the numbing medication then expands to all the branches and leaves. So rather than numbing each individual leaf, everything gets numbed by targeting the root.
This is a technique usually allows Dr. Behnam to use less numbing medication than what is used for the average root canal. They are both safe Dr. Sean Behnam has never had an issue with safety in any of the procedures he has performed.
It typically takes about 10 days for the back of the scalp to heal. Below is a time lapse of a patient of mine which demonstrated the healing of the back of the scalp.
However it does show that by day 10 the back of the scalp had healed nicely. Yes, many women do the FUE procedure. Women with longer hair styles can cover shaved area on the back of the scalp. However, some women do not want to shave the large area of the donor area that needs to be shaved so they opt to have a strip procedure.
In the picture below you can see that this person very easily covers the area where the grafts have been removed. Sean typically removes to 1, grafts in one day so 1, to 2, grafts typically takes 2 days.
One of the most important aspects of the graft extraction is the quality of the grafts. Sean takes his time, carefully choosing quality grafts and the angle to extract minimizing transection rate.
The number of the grafts that are acquired is the number that can be transplanted safely. It must be done without creating a bald spot in the donor area and the grafts must be carefully be placed in the recipient area. Nothing is ever rushed. Quality work takes time. Transection is when a hair shaft is cross cut or dissected during the punching or the extraction process.
This damages the grafts such that it cannot be transplanted. Sean would rather prolong the case over a two day procedure rather than increase transections rates. After every graft is removed they are then checked under a microscope as well to make sure that they are healthy and undamaged. This is very important aspect of quality control. At the end of the day what really matters to the client and Dr. Sean is the quality of the hair transplants.
This is why Dr. Sean only performs only one case a day so he can be fully focused on extracting the best quality grafts for the procedure.
How does Dr. It is very easy just to randomly make 1,, punches however, getting great quality grafts is what matters most. Sean does not rush. Sean may only be able to get grafts, but the will be the best quality grafts that can be transplanted. Regardless of the number, Dr. Sean takes the amount of time needed. Performing one surgery per day gives him the freedom to work slowly with attention to detail. Sean uses an automated device that he has altered and upgraded.
It contains 0. The rotational motor is controlled by a pedal so Dr.
