One of the most challenging aspect of FUE surgery is the extraction of curled hair (under the skin). There exists racial variation in the degree of curliness of hair under the skin. Generally individuals of African ancestry tend to have curlier hair. In scalp only FUE, this is perhaps the true test of a surgeon's FUE skill.


Grafts like the ones shown in the Petri dish taken from one of our patients are common in patients of African ancestry.







The foregoing is a self explanatory sequence of photos depicting an 8 month outcome of a 1200 graft FUE performed to reinforce the frontal scalp and refine the hairline of this African American patient who seeks to be able to cut his hair short without looking bald. Prior to the transplant he needed to grow his hair long which he combs forward and matts down with hair products (A subtle comb over) to conceal his hair loss.



Before: Patient is unable to cut his hair any shorter as it would reveal his significant frontal thinning.
