Implanter Pen vs custom blade incisions for graft placement?

January 4, 2019
Asked By:bmurphy710 in Charleston, South Carolina

I've had three FUT surgeries totaling aprox 9,500 grafts. I still have aprox 3,000 grafts in my donor 'bank' for FUE. I want someone who uses either the WAW system or the Cole system for extraction, however I have a placement question. I have found a doctor who uses an implanter pen. I understand this device is easier for the surgeon as it both cuts and implants the grafts, but how do the results compare to custom blades incisions? My previous surgeries were done with .62 - 1mm custom blades.
