Frontal Hair Transplant with 4,000 Follicles - José Luis Story
Sometimes, making the decision to change your image isn’t as simple as it seems. Beyond aesthetics, it involves overcoming fears, doubts, and past experiences that hold us back. This was the case of José Luis, a 50-year-old patient who came to our clinic with a clear goal: to recover his frontal hairline, and also his self-confidence.
Although he had already researched the procedure, it took him six months to make up his mind. Not due to a lack of interest, but because of a past experience that left scars: a previous surgery that caused him trauma related to everything involving hospitals, and especially needles. José Luis openly confessed that he was afraid of pain, and that was his most significant obstacle.
However, after meeting the Care4Hair team, his insecurities began to fade.
The initial consultation to assess his hair loss
José Luis came to our clinic for the first time at the beginning of 2024. He already showed advanced signs of baldness, classified as a Norwood scale level 4, which meant a considerable loss in the frontal and top areas of the head. After his evaluation with the medical team, it was determined that he was an ideal candidate for hair restoration using the FUE method (Follicular Unit Extraction), thanks to the good density in his donor area.
The date was set April 17, 2024, a day that would change his life.
A strategic hairline design with 4,000 grafts in the frontal area
That Wednesday, the surgery began at 8:20 a.m. and ended around 5:00 p.m., fitting within the average duration of this type of procedure, which usually ranges from 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts needed.
In José Luis’s case, a total of 4,000 grafts were implanted, distributed as follows:
- 1,200 single-hair follicles
- 2,200 two-hair follicles
- 400 three-hair follicles
- 200 four-hair follicles
With this combination, his frontal hairline was restored, and density was added to the top area completely naturally, following an exclusive design adapted to his facial features, age, and expectations.
A Hair Transplant Process Without Pain or Trauma
One of the biggest myths about hair transplants is that the procedure is painful. That was precisely what José Luis feared. But once again, the Care4Hair medical team showed him that the reality is very different.
In our surgeries, we use only local anesthesia, which means the patient remains awake, but the treated area is completely numb. This ensures that no pain is felt during the procedure, while also avoiding the risks of general anesthesia.
For José Luis, this was a relief. “I thought it was going to be a traumatic experience, but it wasn’t. I felt totally comfortable, the music was relaxing, and the care from the doctor and her assistants was so warm that I forgot about my fear,” he told us a year later.
Our experts at Care4Hair make the difference in hair transplantation in Miami
José Luis fondly remembers each member of the team, but especially the lady in charge of the lab tests, whom he calls “the one with the magic hands.” Thanks to her kind demeanor and impeccable technique, she helped him relax even before entering the operating room.
This allows us to highlight one of the most valued aspects among our patients: at Care4Hair, the pre-operative lab tests are free. These analyses are necessary for doctors to evaluate important medical parameters before surgery, such as coagulation, glucose levels, and other determining factors.
If patients prefer to do them in their home state through labs like LabCorp, they can do so, and upon arrival at our clinic, the cost is reimbursed. This helps streamline the process for those coming from other cities or states.
José Luis’ transformation and renewal one year later
When José Luis returned to Care4Hair one year after his transplant, the transformation was evident. "I look different, I feel different," he said, smiling. And it wasn't just perception. Just a few weeks ago, he visited his primary doctor for routine tests, and according to him, the front desk receptionist barely recognized him.
In fact, as has happened with other patients, José Luis had to update the photo on his ID because his appearance had changed completely. “After the hair transplant, I’m a different person,” he said emotionally.
Although he prefers to keep his face off social media for personal reasons, he allowed us to share an image of his hair graft as proof that the results are real, natural, and permanent.
