Extraction tool size- Fue doctors (Hair Transplant)

To reaffirm Dr Bisanga prefers the use of 0.75 & 0.8mm extraction tools and finds these able to remove larger follicular units even those with high calibre hairs. This can be performed with low transection contrary to some and transection in itself is not the sole domain of smaller punches, it can happen regardless of punch size. What is an important aspect that may not be recognised is skin tension and splay of the FU to name two aspects. Both unless understood become harder the smaller the extraction tool, but that does not mean transection has to spiral or yield has to suffer; it basically means that the Dr performing FUE to the highest levels has an adept skill.

An important aspect of FUE is not so much the punch size, that is just the conclusion of what is necessary, but more to do with being able to remove an intact follicular unit, not damage peripheral FU, keep scarring to a minimum whilst maintaining an educated extraction pattern.

The size of the punch has nothing to do with the extraction pattern or the amount that can be removed; if a larger punch collects more hairs in a single extraction that just means a larger hole has been made and potential larger scarring. That said as much damage can be inflicted with a smaller punch if an educated extraction pattern is not adhered to.

Extracting the maximum hair with a punch is no better than going back years; yield will not be determined necessarily by punch size, but using the correct punch and understanding skin/hair nuances. The idea of a HT be it FUE or FUT should not just be getting whatever we can in the recipient but maintaining as much as possible the integrity of the donor; otherwise we would all accept full heads of hair and large scars as long as the hair was just enough hair left to cover.

FUE is an excellent technique when used with the right candidate and performed to a high standard with an educated protocol. It can allow small procedures to be performed without the need to have a linear scar, it allows Strip patients an alternative to max the FU safely without stretching the limits of their scalp laxity and for repairs when the donor has been impaired allowing for hair to be removed out of the normal zone, and in some cases can be a life saver for repair patients, giving another option, sometimes the only option.
To get back to punch size, it is important; it will vary from person to person. The correct punch size can enable a single FU to be removed, this has the added benefit of being able to adjust and determine the surrounding FU that can be removed so as to harvest the maximum amount without compromising the donor for future possible procedures.
