Dr. Serkan Aygın 4400 Grafts FUE + DHI: Age 24 Patient Result
Patient case archive: The title reports a 4,400-graft FUE + DHI case planned through Dr. Serkan Aygın’s clinic for a 24-year-old patient. The original record’s technique labels and photos should be read as historical case information; they do not establish a standard approach or predict future hair-loss progression.
Archive Information and Verification
This is an archived patient-reported record, not a clinical study or a measure of the clinic’s average outcomes. This editorial update does not independently verify the original source, photographs, exact graft count or current clinic workflow.
The operation date and the latest photograph date should be read from the recorded case details below. Where a date or follow-up is not recorded, do not infer it from the article’s publication date or an image filename. Early healing photos do not establish final growth.

Case summary
- Patient age: 24
- Total grafts: 4,400
- Frontal area: 3,400 grafts using FUE
- Posterior/sparse area: 1,000 grafts using DHI
- Procedure time: about 8 hours
- Location: Koç University Hospital
The graft distribution and procedure duration are patient-reported historical figures, not independently verified operative records. Because the patient was 24, the long-term progression of native hair loss is especially important when reading this case. The archived record describes 3,400 grafts for the frontal area under the FUE label and another 1,000 grafts placed into a sparser area using DHI. These labels should be read as the terminology used in the original treatment account rather than as proof that they represent two completely separate transplant procedures.
How to read this patient result
- Age: younger patients may experience further native hair loss, so long-term planning matters.
- Graft allocation: compare the density placed in the frontal zone with the 1,000 grafts used for additional coverage farther back.
- Technique: the case record reports both FUE and DHI; these terms describe different parts of the extraction/implantation workflow and should not be judged by labels alone.
- Donor reserve: claims about possible future sessions should be interpreted cautiously because donor capacity is individual.

Patient-reported procedure details
The patient said the clinic was chosen after forum research and recommendations from acquaintances. On the morning of 17 March, the reported preparation included blood tests, an examination, frontal hairline design and graft planning before the procedure began at Koç University Hospital.
The operation was described as lasting about eight hours, from roughly 1:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The reported plan used 4,400 grafts in total: 3,400 for the frontal area and another 1,000 for a sparser area farther back. A small number of grafts were also placed at the temples.
The patient described the donor area as strong and recalled being told that future procedures might still be possible. That kind of estimate should be interpreted cautiously, especially in a 24-year-old, because donor capacity and future native-hair loss can only be judged over time.
The patient did not remember the names of the team members who performed the procedure under sedation, but described the clinic and hospital support positively. Dressing and laser treatment were reported the following day, along with instructions for washing and lotion use.
What makes this case useful?
- The patient is relatively young, so long-term planning is an important part of the case.
- The graft allocation between the frontal and posterior areas is clearly reported.
- The account includes the procedure duration and immediate next-day follow-up.
- The photo series can be used to compare placement and early healing, but not to judge a final result from the first days alone.
