Regular Member markcia Posted October 25, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 25, 2005 Does the blade size have any impact on outcome of ht? Some doc's use.5cm blades some don't. Some even use blades as large as 1.5cm. Any logic in the larger blades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Mahair Posted October 25, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted October 25, 2005 Larger blades are for larger grafts ie plugs. "The first cut is the deepest." Cat Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gorpy Posted October 25, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted October 25, 2005 Blade sizes vary based on graft size. The smallest I've heard of are .5mm. These ultra small blades are used for the very fine single hair grafts. Larger 3 and 4 hair grafts would require a slightly larger blade. Maybe 1mm. An insertion site too small can cause graft compression which is not good either, so sometimes a larger blade is necessary. I don't know if any of the top doctors use 1.5 mm blades now. That would be a good question for some of the top doctors. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS? All three have great reputations and do excellent work. You may also want to consult with Dr. True if you live in New York, and then make your decision from there. You'd be in good hands with any of them in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
