"Strip style" surgery but with FUE? repair with bht Thoughts/opinions please

[ukcali]

I asked Dr. Cole about this. He told me in the early days of FUE many techniques were tried. For instance one method was similar to your idea... A thin strip would be shaved leaving a row of long hair above and below the thin shaved area where the grafts would be removed. This can leave a geometric pattern down the road. This was before ACell, PRP, ATP, and "donor recharging". Also in a thin extraction strip from ear to ear, you may be able to get a little over 200 grafts. The current donor strategy is one of avoiding the possibility of any man-made "patterns".

Thanks for looking into that for me. I was actually enquiring more about the "donar recharging" idea. Basically I was wondering if you could use body hair and put it back into extraction sites? I know body hair is unreliable and hit or miss so this would obviously be after a test had been done already.

My reason for suggestion doing it in a straight line I.e a "strip style" was purely so yet would be easier for the surgeon but also easier for the patient to see the results. I.e it would be easy to find the line of transplanted hair whereas if it was just randomly dotted about the donar area it would be hard to find and therefore hard to track the results. Does that makes sense?
