Senior Member TheEmperor Posted October 21, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2007 Everyone "knows" that crown growth is slower than hair in front. I have also read that the longer follicles are out of body, the greater chance there is for damage to the FU. I was wondering if the reason we see slowed or less significant growth in the crown is because doctors work from front to back? If that is so, then wouldnt it be wise for doctors to do large mega sessions with multiple extractions? For instance take a 1cm strip, dissect and place for 4 hours, then take another thin strip and do the final closure? Seems like this would be safest for grafts. Has any doctor done survival rates on follicles based on time out of body? Seems like the chance of drying out or being damaged come other way are greater.

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 TheEmperor, There have been survival rate tests. Per Dr. Bernstein, graft survival decreases significantly after eight hours. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted October 23, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 23, 2007 You make a good point about crown work but my crown work was done early in my procedures and I still noticed a lag in sprout time for the front/top vs. the crown.
