Mini-Micrografting - Investigating the Pros, the Cons, and the FUE'sWritten by Maggie Kay
Continued from page 1
Below is an overview of problems associated with mini-micrografting (in comparison to follicular unit extraction): - Grafts are cut in such a way that individual follicular units may be split up or damaged
- Harvesting technique does not ensure that each follicle will be kept intact
- Grafts are larger because excess tissue is not trimmed
- Healing time is very slow
Follicular Unit Extraction vs. Mini-Micrografting Most up-to-date hair restoration surgeons recommend that patients choose follicular unit extraction over mini-micrografting because it produces a more natural result, has a faster healing time, and is more efficient in preserving donor hair.

Continued from page 1
Candidacy for a scalp reduction depends on flexibility of scalp, amount of hair loss and patient’s age. Below are some of major reasons why scalp reduction surgery has decreased in popularity since introduction of more advanced methods of hair restoration: - There is a risk that skin might stretch back to 50% of its original positioning
- A visible scar is left on exposed areas of bald scalp
- An indentation surrounding scar line may be noticeable
- The hair may acquire an unusual parting that cannot be grafted
- If scalp is reduced in an elliptical pattern, it will result in an esthetically unpleasant elongation of bald area
