Trimmed and non-trimmed follicular unit grafts
Trimmed and non-trimmed follicular unit grafts
Both trimmed and non-trimmed follicular unitgrafts can produce good results in hair transplant surgery. However, there aresome differences between the two techniques.
Trimmed grafts are usually smaller in size andhave less tissue surrounding them. This can make them easier to place in therecipient area and can result in a more natural-looking hairline. However,trimming the grafts can also damage the hair follicles and reduce theirsurvival rate.
Non-trimmed grafts, on the other hand, arelarger and have more tissue surrounding them. This can make them more difficultto place in the recipient area, but they also have a higher survival rate andcan produce thicker, more robust hair growth.
Ultimately, the choice between trimmed andnon-trimmed grafts will depend on the individual patient’s needs and thesurgeon’s preferences and experience. It’s important to discuss the pros andcons of each technique with your surgeon before making a decision.
