Giuseppe’s Crown Density (Case Study)

hair transplant modena hair institute

Giuseppe, 32, Las Vegas resident and assistant manager at a hotel on the strip, came to Modena Hair Institute for his second hair transplant.  

Like our previous patients, Giuseppe, needed further work to stem his hair loss. 

Our pictures show how we transformed Giuseppe’s Crown with 1,611 grafts (3,237 individual hairs) moved from the back of his scalp to the front.  

He is pictured before and after the procedure, carried out by our board certified hair restoration surgeon Dr. Amir Yazdan.

Men like Elon Musk inspired Giuseppe to have a second operation.  He said: “It is fact of life that hair loss is a continuous process. While the hair transplanted in my previous operation is permanent, I am continuing to lose my natural hair. I had the second procedure because I was so pleased with the first one and how it helped to boost my confidence and work opportunities. Once again, I have a much fuller hairline and the whole front of my scalp looks so much better.”

“The operation gives me a lot more flexibility with my hair. I can continue to wear it spiked up.” 

Giuseppe, who has been losing his hair since he was 23, said there was no longer a stigma attached to men seeking hair transplants.  

He said: “Stars like Elon Musk and Matthew McConaughey have made a big difference. Drugs like Propecia can halt future hair loss but they won’t help to grow new hair. The only way to keep my hair as I want it is through having hair transplants.”

He shared that losing his hair had hit his confidence. “You worry when you go on dates, women are looking at your receding hairline. It’s a distraction you don’t need and, thankfully, one that can be remedied by a transplant”. 

Giuseppe had his second transplant in October 2022, just over a year after his first procedure. It will take between six months and a year for the new hair to fully grow back.

Dr. Yazdan said Giuseppe had the same Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant technique as McConaughey and David Beckham, where individual follicles are taken from the back or the side of the scalp and replanted at the front.

Dr. Yazdan said: “What we’ve noticed in the last five years is that the age of our patients is coming down all the time. The fact is a third of men suffer hair loss by the time they are 30.”

More of them are deciding to have transplants immediately rather than waiting until middle age. 

Why suffer 20 years with a loss of confidence if you can fix the problem now? For people who have an active social or romantic life, their image is vital.

“A simple procedure such as a hair transplant can make an enormous difference to a man’s life.”

Diet, Hair Products and Hair Surgery

‘You are what you eat.’ We’ve all heard that old saying, but how does it apply to the health of your hair? Can your dietary choices lead to hair loss? Can they counter it? Reverse it? 

The primary causes of hair loss are genetics, hormonal dysregulation, hypothyroidism, tension on the hair (tension alopecia), scalp trauma, infection and dietary factors such as nutrient deficiencies. 

Micronutrient deficiencies can have an effect on the health of your hair. To understand why let’s have a look at what our hair is actually made of. Hair consists of two main structures — the hair shaft, which is what you see, and the hair follicle, which is hidden underneath the skin. Hair grows from the hair follicle.

The average growth rate for human hair is typically around 0.35 mm per day. Meanwhile, the average scalp sheds about 100 hairs per day, which can increase with hair care practices like excessive shampooing and forceful brushing.

Hair follicles are highly active and sensitive structures. The fact that hair follicles are among the most rapidly dividing cells in the human body, explains why nutrient deficiencies can negatively affect hair growth.

Below are some essential nutrients for maintaining healthy hair growth:

Iron – Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world and can cause hair loss.

The result of iron deficiency is telogen effluvium (TE), that is hair loss marked by a disruption in the normal growth cycle. This leads to hair loss through excessive shedding. Laboratory studies have shown that those who suffer from hair loss tend to have lower than average iron levels in their blood.

Vitamin D – Vitamin D plays an important role in healthy hair growth. Vitamin D levels are lower in people with certain hair loss conditions, particularly female pattern hair loss. Vitamin D supplements may encourage hair regrowth resulting from a vitamin deficiency, but are of no use in treating genetically caused hair loss.

Zinc – The mineral zinc plays an important role in protein synthesis and cellular division, both processes are essential to healthy hair growth. Zinc is a necessary mineral for hair follicle function and helps protect against follicle shrinkage and promote recovery of damaged hair. 

Other nutrients that may affect hair loss include: biotin, vitamin B12, folate, and riboflavin.

If you think that you may be experiencing hair loss due to a nutrient deficiency, taking a daily multivitamin may help. Hair restoration shampoos like GroMD are highly recommended for daily use. If symptoms persist then consult a medical professional for further guidance.

It is important to remember that most hair loss in men is caused by genetic factors. Vitamins will not cure male pattern baldness. The only 100% effective treatment of which is FUE or FUT hair transplant surgery.
