Consultation at Hairfree & Hairgrow, Bangladesh Branch:​

Upon consulting with our expert team led by senior hair transplant surgeons, Iftekhar was educated thoroughly on the causes of hair loss, hair transplant options, and expected outcomes. After detailed scalp examination and trichoscopy, it was determined that Iftekhar was a good candidate for BIG-FUE (Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction) with a high graft requirement due to his extensive baldness.

Once satisfied with the consultation and care standards, he gave his consent for the procedure.

Treatment Profile of Iftekhar Ahmed Kushal:​

• Technique Used: BIG-FUE (Biologically Improved Graft FUE)

• Supportive Treatments:
  • 5 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) sessions at 2-month intervals
  • Finasteride 1 mg (oral)
  • Minoxidil 5% topical solution
  • Multivitamins with Biotin and Iron

Step-by-Step Hair Transplant Procedure:​

1. Hairline Design & Surgical Planning:

• A natural, age-appropriate hairline was designed considering facial proportions and existing donor capacity.
• As the baldness was Grade 6, full coverage was prioritized with higher density in the frontal and mid-scalp and light density in the crown, given graft availability.
• The donor area was assessed to be moderate with good thickness; the hair texture was slightly coarse and black.

2. Preparation & Anesthesia:

• Scalp cleaned and trimmed.
• Local anesthesia administered with a pain-minimizing vibration technique.
• Skin sensitivity tested – no adverse reaction noted.

3. Graft Extraction:

• Using 0.8–0.9 mm titanium punches, 5310 grafts were extracted over 3.5 hours.
• Graft breakdown:
  • Single follicular units: 18%
  • Double follicular units: 62%
  • Triple & quadruple units: 20%
• Grafts stored in chilled RL solution at 4°C in a graft preservation system.

4. Slit Creation:

• Custom slits made using a sapphire blade for precise angling.
• 1.2 mm blade for the frontal zone and 1.4 mm for the vertex area to mimic natural hair direction.

5. Graft Implantation:

• Performed with K.E.E.P implanters for delicate placement and directional accuracy.
• Total implantation time: 4 hours.

Post-Procedure:

• Dressing done, medications prescribed, and a complete post-op care kit provided.
• Hotline support and follow-up schedule explained thoroughly.

Hair Transplant Recovery & Growth Timeline:​

A) Shedding Phase (0–3 Months):

• Hair shedding started around Day 15 and lasted up to 3 months.
