Do all strip to FUE patients fill-in the linear scars? (Hair Transplant)

» » » » » Several years ago this class 4A patient had a strip procedure
» » » performed
» » » » » before having a CIT (Cole Isolation Technique) procedure done.
» » » Through
» » » » the
» » » » » years, the patient’s hair loss progressed and the loss of native
» » » hairs
» » » » on
» » » » » the scalp were replaced with newly transplanted hairs to add
» » density
» » » in
» » » » the
» » » » » receded areas on top of the scalp. Last year, the patient came
» to
» » » Dr.
» » » » Cole
» » » » » for about 1500 transplanted CIT grafts to maximize the patient’s
» » » » previously
» » » » » strip harvested donor resources. In 2007, the patient’s goal was
» » to
» » » » add
» » » » » density to the top, frontal scalp and temporal points. This
» » » patient’s
» » » » » donor area is comprised of a very fine caliper of hair with
» » slightly
» » » » above
» » » » » average hair density of about 190 hairs per cm2 with 180 being
» » » average.
» » » » As
» » » » » you can see, the recipient area requires larger and smaller
» » » follicular
» » » » » units of better quality for optimal coverage. The patient
» recently
» » » came
» » » » in
» » » » » for a touch-up to the frontal hair line and is very pleased with
» » the
» » » » » outcome of the CIT procedure. The patient reported that the CIT
» » was
» » » » much
» » » » » less painful, caused less soreness and was much less invasive
» than
» » » his
» » » » » prior procedure.
» » » » »
» » » » »
» » » » » This patient looks much more youthful at 12 months after the CIT
» » » » treatment
» » » » » and is expecting to see thicker hair in the coming months. Our
» » » clinic
» » » » » often uses live patients to show the quality of our work. Dr.
» Cole
» » » » » discloses the pros and cons of CIT to the patients. We offer
» » several
» » » » CIT
» » » » » hair transplant preparation methods and also specialize in
» » » restoration
» » » » of
» » » » » the finest facial hair. Often times we show the quality of our
» » work
» » » » » through photography, video or by live patient viewings. We
» strive
» » to
» » » » » achieve our patients’ goals in hair restoration by transplanting
» » » fewer
» » » » » grafts for ideal coverage. The freshly positioned follicular
» unit
» » » » grafts
» » » » » are placed in the most natural fashion possible without the use
» of
» » a
» » » » » scalpel or stitches.

» » » » » My advice is not medical advice
» » » »
» » » »
» » » »
» » » » Could I see a comparison of a strip scar and CIT scarring, if CIT
» has
» » » any
» » » » scarring at all?
» » »
» » » This patient actually came in for C2G and we didn't shave any of the
» » donor
» » » area. You can see the linear strip scar but no traces of previous
» CIT
» » » extraction. With CIT, our form of FUE, patients have the ability to
» » wear a
» » » much shorter hair style than strip (FUT) patients. The extractions
» are
» » » shallow and instruments are custom engineered for optimal donor area
» » » results. CIT enables the surgeon to only harvest the follicular
» units
» » » necessary for the most ideal results on the recipient area. In the
» » end,
» » » the patients pay for each intact graft because extracted grafts are
» » placed
» » » as harvested.

» Looks good. Why don't strip patients put grafts in the strip scars?
» Seems like everyone would want to cut their hair shorter some time.

I think it's safe to say that the majority of patients who had strip method performed do go ahead and fill-in the linear scar. The patients are told that there is limitied blood supply and that the rate of graft survival is also unpredictable but we have seen that dense packing scars isn't in the patients' best interests.
