To present the case of an 18-year-old boy with a cleft lip scar and an obligatory need for facial hair who underwent single-follicular-unit graft hair transplantation that resulted in significant moustache hair restoration in a single procedure.
The surgery was performed in an outpatient private practice setting using oral sedation and local anesthesia.
Advances in instrumentation technology and an increased understanding of the anatomical clustering of hair follicles into so-called "follicular units" containing one to six hairs per unit has resulted in a rapid expansion of hair restoration surgery into new areas including female-pattern alopecia, scarring alopecias, and cosmetic surgery scars. These new techniques can be employed to create natural-looking hair lines in front of artificial hair replacement systems; to improve unnatural looking, old "large-plug" hair transplants; and to correct discontinuity of eyebrows and hairlines in patients with congenital facial clefts. Increased awareness is needed to incorporate follicular-unit graft hair transplant surgery into the family of corrective surgery subspecialties.
介绍一名18岁唇裂瘢痕男孩的病例，该男孩因对面部毛发有迫切需求，接受了单毛囊单位移植毛发手术，一次手术即显著恢复了胡须毛发。
该手术在门诊私人诊所进行，采用口服镇静剂和局部麻醉。
仪器技术的进步以及对毛囊聚集成所谓“毛囊单位”（每个单位含1至6根毛发）的解剖学认识的提高，使得毛发修复手术迅速扩展到新领域，包括女性型脱发、瘢痕性脱发和美容手术瘢痕。这些新技术可用于在人工毛发替代系统前打造自然的发际线；改善不自然的旧“大毛囊移植”；以及矫正先天性面部裂患者的眉毛和发际线不连续问题。需要提高认识，将毛囊单位移植毛发手术纳入整形手术亚专业范畴。
