ť ť Very impressive for the amount of grafts ;-) I am sorry for the patient
ť ť having prior strip work :-(
ť
ť I really don't see any reason why anyone would want to have a scar? It
ť just doesn't make sense. It's a no brainer unless the patient was never
ť informed of fue being an option in lieu of strip.

Hi neveragain,

I share the same opinion. All patients should be made aware that any surgery may cause scarring. In CIT or Fue, scarring isn't nearly as visible as strip FUT hair transplant method. Younger patients seeking strip surgery should not be told that they will have a 1mm scar linear scar after surgery. Lots of top strip clinics don't tell patients of the fact that more of a percentage of patients get wider scars than don't. They should be told that scars can stretch over time and that trico closures are sure to deliver an unnoticeable linear scar. In strip, a scalpel is used to harvest all of the hair and a percentage of the surrounding donor follicular units are destroyed.

These patients should do research to find out the advantages and disadvantages of each method. More patients are being led to believe that correcting the scars is simple after CIT or FUE grafts are placed into them to decrease the appearance of the scars. Others are led to believe that tattooing scars is a permanent solution A large percentage of our patients come to us to achieve their previous goals and decrease the appearance of the strip scarring. These patients must keep in mind that once the scalp donor area has been harvested via strip, the scalp becomes tighter and growth into scar tissue is not always repairable. There are fewer benefits of having a strip than on CIT or FUE.
