Patient Profile
Patient’s Name: Manvinder Singh Malik
Patient’s Age: 56 years
Gender: Male
Location: New Delhi, India
Patient Background:
Manvinder Singh Malik, a 56-year-old professional from Delhi, had been struggling with male pattern baldness for several years. His hair loss progressed over time, resulting in significant thinning and receding at the crown and frontal areas. As a result, his self-confidence was deeply affected, both personally and professionally. After unsuccessfully trying various over-the-counter solutions, he turned to Dr. Mayank Singh at CROWN – The Hair Transplant Experts to explore a permanent and effective hair restoration solution.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Symptoms
Manvinder’s hair loss was most prominent around his hairline and crown, a clear indication of androgenetic alopecia. The hair thinning had worsened, leading to a noticeable decrease in hair density, particularly at the crown, which greatly impacted his appearance.
Diagnostic Method
Manvinder underwent trichoscopy, a detailed, non-invasive scalp examination to assess follicular health and determine the extent of hair loss. This was followed by a clinical examination, where Dr. Mayank Singh confirmed the diagnosis.
Disease Diagnosed
The diagnosis revealed Androgenetic Alopecia with tractional alopecia (past history of wearing a turban) with signs of thinning of temples and sideburns, and Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness), which is the primary cause of hair loss in men, typically affecting the frontal and crown areas.
Treatment Plan
Dr. Mayank Singh a renowned hair transplant surgeon, recommended a Hybrid Surgery approach, combining FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) techniques. This hybrid surgery has several advantages and was tailored to provide the best results for Manvinder’s needs:
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):The FUT technique was used to extract hair follicles from the central part of the safe donor area. This part of the scalp yields the most robust and long-standing hair. These core follicles were used to frame the front and temples, ensuring natural, dense coverage.
- FUE (Follicular Unit Excision):To further enhance density and ensure the most natural-looking results, the FUE method was employed to extract additional follicles from the scalp itself, without the need for harvesting hair from outside the safe donor area. This technique allows for a seamless, high-density result, while maintaining the aesthetic match of scalp hair with the best texture, caliber, and growth pattern.
- Hybrid Surgery Advantages:
- The FUTtechnique provides the foundation by using the strongest hair follicles from the central safe donor area, which offers long-term results.
- Combining FUEadds maximum follicular coverage without the need for donor hair from outside the scalp, ensuring the most natural-looking results.
- No body hair is used in this approach, preserving the integrity of the scalp’s hair texture, growth pattern, and natural appearance.
- The hybrid method also preserves 40-50% of the scalp donor area, leaving a reserve of hair follicles for potential future hair loss progression, which is common even with medications.
A total of 7020 follicles were transplanted using this advanced hybrid technique, ensuring maximum coverage and a permanent solution for Manvinder.
Post-Surgery Guidelines
Post-surgery, Manvinder was given a detailed care plan to ensure proper healing and optimal growth of the transplanted follicles:
- Avoid direct sun exposurefor several weeks post-surgery.
- Gentle washingof the scalp to prevent dislodging of transplanted follicles.
- Medicationsprescribed to prevent infections and support healthy hair growth.
Follow-up appointments with Dr. Singh to monitor the healing process and assess hair growth.
Outcome
The results of Manvinder’s hair transplant were nothing short of remarkable. He now enjoys fuller density, complete coverage of the treated areas, and a natural-looking hairline that blends seamlessly with his existing hair. The transplant gave him a younger, rejuvenated appearance and restored his confidence, making him feel like he has turned back the clock.
Long-Term Expectations
Manvinder can expect gradual improvement in the coming 6-12 months as the transplanted follicles mature and thicken. The hair will continue to grow naturally, providing a permanent, youthful look. Over time, his hair will blend effortlessly with his natural growth, offering him a full and voluminous appearance. Additionally, with the preserved donor area, he has a backup for future hair loss, ensuring long-term results.
