At True & Dorin, the management and aesthetics of the donor area is just as much a priority as is the natural outcome of the hair we transplant.
There are two methods by which we harvest the follicular units used in the hair transplantion process: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). With either approach, the goal is to successfully restore a natural, optimal coverage to the balding areas on the top of the head while at the same time having a minimal negative impact on the donor area in terms of scarring and thinning. Each surgery does permamently remove a certain percentage of follicular units from the donor zone. Typically we can move about 60% of the donor hair without causing noticeable thinning. It is important when entering into the hair restoration process that you have a short and long term understanding of your hair loss progression. Dr. True and Dr. Dorin will provide you with a strategy for how to best manage your donor supply in obtaining the hair restoration goals you would like to accomplish.
Below are examples of various donor areas after hair transplantation:
After 1 FUT: Trichophytic closure
After 1 FUT: Standard closure
FUT: 10 days post-op, immediately after sutures removed
Female after 1 FUT: Trichophytic closure
