Volume and Density of Grafts

April 8, 2017
Asked By:RevisionSeeker23

I've read that the volume and density of ear cartilage is different than coastal. Would ear cartilage be a good canididate for replacing cartilage that was resected in the midvault? What type of cartilage is ideal for restoring Radix height and how is a graft anchored to the bony base? Is a transdermal suture enough to prevent mobility? Could fascia be applied as a type of glue to the bottom of the graft?

How long will it take for transplanted body hair on head to grow?
William Rassman, MD (retired) says:

The growth from body hair should be the same as scalp hair but only at a 50% rate as 50% of body hairs are in telogen at any one time. This is a reality forever for these transplants.  Many doctors are not skilled in body hair transplants so growth may not always be as good anyway.
