Hi, I have recently had an FUE procedure with 3800 grafts. So far so good. My question is, the hair follicles that are extracted but cut or transected by the fue instruments, do these particular follicles grow back in the donor area? Thank you

Answer: FUE transected follicles question? In my opinion yes and no. There are many factors that play into this role. It depends on where the transection occurred. It also depends on if the punch strips or crushes the follicle bulb. If there is a high transection rate, then there are adittional factors that might cause this. If a punch is too small to encompass the natural follicle group in an individual, this can cause stripping and higher transections. If the follicle groups have whats called "splay", which is where the bulbs underneath the scalp fan out instead of lining up close to each other, this can cause increased transections, and especially with a sharp punch or inexperienced FUE extractors.However the difference between a transection in an FUT verses FUE is that when a technician transects a follicle while dissecting follicle groups in an FUT; those follicles are lost. In FUE when an FUE occurs there is a chance that it will come back. There are a few FUE clinics that believe and actually attempt to transect grafts in hopes that at least one follicle will grow back in the FUE extracted spot.

Answer: Transected Follicles Do Not Grow Hair Follicles transected follicles during an FUE procedure do not grow. There is a greater transection rate with FUE compared to FUT.
