Hi Guys,
Just wondering what the experts on here think about the following proposal:
Would it be a good idea to cut down Multi-Grafts into single if the patient planned to Buzz the hair to a couple of mm's, Grade 1 or 2??
I think it is important to have a specific style in mind for post op. The BuzzCut differs from any other style IMO because its the number of intersections between hair and scalp (Lets call them Dots for discussion terms) is what will give the illusion of density.
In simple terms I think 50 singles/cm2 will look far better than 20 3hairs/cm2 and if you cut them into singles you will get better coverage doing 50singles/cm2 all over.
when you look at someone with buzzed hair you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a single and a multi-graft without inspecting the head. Yet if you cut 3's into singles you get 3 times as many "dots"(if you compare to micropigmentation, the higher number of dots the more dense it appears)what is your opinion on this?
The idea I'm trying to get across is "getting more from less" approach for someone with high loss and less density, who would be happy to buzz there hair. Take a guy with 120cm2 to cover and only 3000grafts in his donor (Lets say 2hairs per graft) 6000 single grafts, this would give him 50grafts/cm2 which I think would look quiet good.
Sorry for the long winded comment, Its difficult trying to explain my train of taught on the topic.
Regards
HH
