Regular Member ThisOlHead Posted August 1, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2010 Anyone that has had older mini-grafts reduced by FUE - - How was the yield of the grafts that were extracted? Did most of them grow in their new location? Also, did you notice any impact on what remained of the old mini-graft as far as growth? Meaning: did most of the follicles adjacent to the FUE site continue growing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sparky Posted August 1, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2010 I had that done, some of them needed a second pass to properly eradicate them, it didnt affect nearby hairs.

Regular Member ThisOlHead Posted August 1, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 1, 2010 What I'm thinking of is not a full removal actually, but just a reduction. I have some old grafts that are narrow, with around 6 - 10 hairs, and if FUE were done in the center, it would break them up so they would be less dense. I'm just concerned about the yield overall because I've heard that this type of procedure may (un-intentionally) damage follicles by transection.

Senior Member Sparky Posted August 1, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2010 The reason I had it done was because I had some badley angled 2-3 grafts in the hairline. De-bulking yours could result in loss of the hairs coming out of the same place.
