Gustavo Flores: Implantation of 2000 grafts with FUE Method at Care4Hair

Gustavo Flores, a 43-year-old patient, decided in May 2024 to take control of his self-esteem and change his life through a hair transplant in Miami with Care4Hair.

The procedure, which was carried out with the most advanced hair restoration technology, marked a before and after in his personal and professional life story. Today, months after his surgery, Gustavo says he feels like a new person, with more confidence and even greater productivity at work.

The Diagnosis: Alopecia and the Norwood Scale

Gustavo presented a grade 3 baldness pattern on the Norwood scale, which implied significant hair loss in the frontal hairline and temples. His case was ideal to cover that specific area —the hairline and the frontal zone— achieving a natural and youthful design adapted to his facial features.

During the surgery, the following follicles were implanted and strategically distributed:

• single-hair follicles: 1000
• double-hair follicles: 650
• triple-hair follicles: 350

The density and distribution were determined after a personalized analysis conducted during his free evaluation consultation, part of the exclusive process that Care4Hair offers to all its patients, even those who, like Gustavo, live outside of Miami.

FUE Technology: Precision and Natural Results

The clinic used the FUE method (Follicular Unit Extraction), which is currently the most advanced and effective technique for hair restoration. This outpatient procedure allows for the individual extraction of follicles using a micromotor, a high-precision tool that facilitates strategic and random harvesting without leaving visible scars in the donor area.

One of the aspects that most caught Gustavo's attention was the use of the sapphire crystal blade, an instrument that makes incisions so small that Dr. Dominick Golio, one of our specialists, calls them “invisible incisions.” This technique, combined with local anesthesia, guarantees a painless experience and a visually flawless result.

What Is the Surgery Like?

The FUE hair transplant is an outpatient surgery that takes between 6 and 8 hours. During this time, the patient remains comfortable in a temperature-controlled room. That's why we recommend all our patients bring appropriate clothing, such as a button-up shirt or front-zip sweater, since after the procedure, no garment should be placed over the head. It is also important to wear comfortable and warm pants to avoid feeling cold inside the OR (Operating Room).

Once the surgery is over, patients can go straight home or to the hotel, with no need for hospitalization.

Tips for Traveling to Miami

Gustavo, like many of our patients, traveled from another state to undergo his treatment. That’s why we want to take this opportunity to share some tips that will be useful if you’re planning to come to Miami for your hair transplant:

1. Searching for flights: Use Google Flights as a price comparison tool. Do your searches between Monday and Wednesday, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Avoid searching with your phone plugged into the charger, with low battery, on weekends or at night, as algorithms tend to show higher prices.
2. Smart packing: Pack button-up shirts, zippers, or any clothing that opens in the front. Avoid sweaters or closed-neck t-shirts, as they could damage the implanted area when putting them on. Also, bring warm and comfortable clothes for the day of the surgery.

These details make a big difference in the patient's overall experience.

A Result That Goes Beyond Aesthetics

Today, Gustavo is happy. The physical change has been remarkable, but the greatest impact is reflected in his self-esteem, so much so that he says he feels more productive in his work environment and more confident during meetings and social activities. For him, this hair transplant was not just an aesthetic surgery but also an investment in his emotional well-being.

Like many of our patients, Gustavo is now a true brand ambassador. His satisfaction and testimony have already inspired others to take the step, proving that a change in hair can also mean a better life.
