Hello, I’m Park Jae Hyun a doctor at Dana Cosmetic Surgery. There was a patient who visited our hospital for consultation. This is a picture of the back of the head The space that was used for FUE was about 2~2.5 X 14cm In the core zone which is the best part of the donor area. What was worse, he had the extraction concentrated in one place

Which made it impossible to extract any further in that area. So why did this patient visit? The difference in density between the area without the extraction and the area that was extracted was so large that you could see the scalp underneath the hair. Since other areas were not extracted it looked like

the hair was thinning which is why he visited. So what this patient wanted was to do the FUT method On this extracted area. This is why I always emphasized that For the FUE (talking about FUE translated in Korean) The Follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) or Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) In KSHRS it is also called the section extraction method.

Where you tear off the skin in a belt-like shape. The next method is called the Follicular unit extraction or Follicular unit excision which is extracting one hair follicle at a time. In KSHRS they call it the punch extraction method. Saying incisional and non-incisional is wrong in medical terms. And because of this word a lot of people think that the FUE method

does not leave a scar. According to the person who calculated the scar in the FUE method, It leaves a lot more scarring than the FUT method. It is about 1.6 times more. But instead of a straight line, the scar is scattered across the area. This is the nature of FUE method.

In order to scatter this scar, the area has to be large enough. So what I always emphasize is that shaving before the FUE will be the best. Unless in some cases you will need to see the curl of the hair hair which will require a long hair FUE for example eyebrow transplant. So having a good homogenization of the whole area in decreasing the density is the fundamental of FUE method.

Having said all this, if it is not done homogenously but was focused on one particular area With a certain pattern, this will be defaming the fundamental of the FUE method. Just like the case I showed you earlier, shaving off the hair in a box shape And extracting it from here.

If the area of shaved hair is smaller, this will get worse. The more extraction the worse it gets. And even if it is a small amount, there is what we call line shave cut Which won’t be a problem because the extraction will be done by skipping one hair to another. I’m thinking approximately 600 to 800 grafts.

If It goes over a certain amount the scar will look like a long line Just like the FUT method. This will lead to restrictions in any further punches or strip surgery. So if it is possible getting a non-shaven or a random non-shaven or shaven Marine cut, or a two-block cut will be the best. And if possible, doing a partial shave and extracting in a concentrated area

Is something we have to be careful about. So if you are planning to get a FUE it will be best to time your schedule to shave your head Or go on a holiday or at least get a two-block hair before the surgery. If it is not possible, find a doctor who is skilled at non-shaven FUE. Is it impossible to do a FUT for 5000 grafts?
