Your doctor might have used a permanent stitch to prevent the forehead skin riding back up on the scalp. It is a routine practice, especially in revision procedures. It also helps to reduce tension on suture line, thereby improving scar quality. If you can feel this internal suture, your body will most likely expel it on its own. However, if you experience swelling, pain or discharge from suture site; do consult your doctor.
FUT or strip technique can give high number of grafts. For example, a strip size of 25cm X 1.4 cm would have a total of 3500 donor grafts assuming a density of 100 FU / square cm. Of course if the density goes down to 40/cm2, the yield comes down to 1400 grafts. This figure should then be adjusted according to follicular wastage that occurs at the time of dissection. It may be as low as 2% in experienced hand but can go very high with novice technicians.At the end, there is no definite answer to upper or lower limit. It depends upon a patients personal characteristics like skin laxity and density along the expertise of treating team.
Hello! Transplanted hair in recipient area behave just like non transplanted donor hair and follow the hair cycle. At 2-6 weeks after implantation, transplanted hairs are shed during a process called anagen effluvium. This is due to surgical stress endured by the follicle during transplantation. Once they grow back, they will follow their internal biological clock which is unique for each hair follicle and will regrow after shedding at regular intervals.
Hi. Two years post transplant, the results should be visible. If they are not, it is unlikely that any new hairs will come out now. IMHO the best way out is to consult your clinic again. They will certainly be having your pre-surgery pictures that you can look at and compare to the current ones before you consider the procedure a failure. Often, your primary clinic will also offer you good discounts for repeat session and may even agree to do it at operational cost.
Hey! When you say silky hair I assume you mean low caliber hair. Now lets look at your question from a different perspective. Would the same number of low caliber silky hairs give as much coverage as coarser high caliber hair? The answer is no. The reason for this is that what we see in the transplanted area is hair 'volume' and not hair number. The volume of a single coarse hair will always be more than silky hair because its radius is more (remember pi X r2 X l) and so scalp coverage on a per hair basis will be more for coarser hair. Now lets look at the other aspect of same problem. Can we give adequate volume and coverage while using silky hair for transplant? The answer is yes. All we have to do is simply increase the density of transplant. If there are more hair per square cm, the volume will increase and so would coverage. However, one should keep in mind that there is a limit to this increase and the quantum of surgery would depend on many more things than just mathematics. A personalised evaluation by a good hair transplant surgeon would give you best answers.
