Why Hair Transplant “Frog Eggs” Form_ Part 2

Hello, this is Dana Plastic Surgery.

Following the previous post, today we will continue with the second part of our look at the “frog eggs” that appear after hair transplant surgery.

When grafting onto the surface of the scalp, in strip surgery the graft is placed exactly flush with the epidermis,

while in non-shaven FUE, the epidermis is left protruding slightly outward.

The part of the epidermis that protrudes outward can look like frog eggs when viewed from above.

Even after just one evening, the frog eggs dry out and start to look like scabs,

so this is only a temporary appearance seen right after surgery.

If a patient very rarely has trypophobia, surgery can be performed in a way that does not create frog eggs.

Then is a surgery where frog eggs are visible something special?

No, it is not. It is the appearance seen immediately after most non-shaven FUE procedures around the world.

Also, issues related to depth can occur when grafting.

If the graft is placed too deeply,

folliculitis may occur, curly hair may develop more often, the likelihood of a depressed scar may increase,

and scar tissue may form, which can also reduce the survival rate.

Grafting too deeply is a problem, but grafting too high is also a problem,

because the graft will fail to survive! The follicles can dry out and shrivel.

So the height that is exactly flush with the surface can be said to be the best depth

for a non-shaven procedure in which the epidermis is attached and transplanted.

Why do frog eggs form? Here is a full summary of the question.

In strip surgery, frog eggs do not form; it is a phenomenon that occurs in non-shaven FUE.

However, there are also cases where they do not form. In those cases, it is a neat surgical style that trims the epidermis,

and it has its own advantages.

At Dana Plastic Surgery, we believe that frog eggs have many advantages,

so we perform surgery in a way that creates frog eggs.

However, whether or not to create frog eggs is a matter of choosing a surgical style.

Depending on your hair condition, it is best to maximize the advantages and minimize the disadvantages

by consulting with a specialist before proceeding with surgery. 😊
