FUE: random vs zigzag pattern; which is best? (Photo)

May 31, 2016
Asked By:lcry in Francestown, NH

I recently had a FUE procedure. now 13 days post-op and I'm looking at other results here. I notice that low cost clinics tend to create a sort of zigzag pattern (top image) with follicles implanted almost in line, whereas in my case (bottom image) there is no pattern; the follicles seem to be implanted randomly. So I was wondering, does it make a difference when the hair has grown back or iss the zigzag/line pattern totally invisible ? Is one of the implantation type superior to the other?

Answer: Instead of focusing on the technical side of how a doctor does surgery, it would be best to see their results.
