PATIENT PHOTOS
This patient was severely bald at a Norwood 7 rating. Individuals like this are normally rejected as hair transplant candidates. But Dr. Umar was able to create a donor pool of 8,000 grafts by extracting hair from the beard region and head to provide the desired level of fullness. He also constructed a hairline similar to the one the patient used to have.

This patient relied on a hairpiece for 14 years after his strip surgery. This procedure left him with awkward looking plugs and poor coverage on the scalp. Dr. Umar was able to restore normalcy with fuller coverage and an overall natural looking outcome. This was achieved with 14,000 grafts that were transplanted in two separate sessions.

What Is Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction
In general FUE procedures , hair follicles are extracted directly from the scalp to avoid a linear scar. In the head region, this is limited to about 7,000 grafts. But this may not be sufficient for severe forms of baldness or repair surgeries .
Many patients require an expanded supply of donor follicles. This is where Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction comes in.
Advanced FUE uses the highly specialized uGraft set of tools and protocols to safely extract body hair follicles from regions such as:
(1) Beard area
(2) Nape
(3) Legs
(4) Arms
(5) Abdomen
(6) Stomach
(7) Back
(8) Chest
These areas of the skin are quite visible, unlike the hair covered scalp. Therefore the absence of noticeable scarring is a high priority for patients.
With the advanced tools and techniques of Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction, patients can experience:
(1) fullness in coverage
(2) natural looking details
(3) negligible to no scarring in body donor areas
The uGraft Difference
UGraft is a specialized surgical system that has been designed to meet the objectives of Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction. It includes both tools and protocols.
Features of uGraft Tools
UGraft instruments are both hand held, motorized. One aspect that makes them different from standard FUE tools is that they use punch units that are custom crafted using computerized software. With this level of precision, these pieces account for :
(1) exceptionally small wound sizes in the donor areas
(2) shape of the excisions to optimize the healing process
Angled or curved growth can make it difficult to identify the best placement of an FUE punch. Follicles can be damaged or buried by inaccurate positioning of surgical instruments.
Another special feature offered by uGraft is the subtle graft pulling mechanism. This helps ensure the safety and survival of the extracted follicles. Also this feature addresses the non linear growth patterns of hair. Gently lifting each graft during the extraction phase helps reduce the risk of damage, since the practitioner is not relying exclusively on instruments.
