Senior Member RCWest Posted September 15, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2010 While a team is dissecting grafts, the doctor is making the incisions. Say they plan for 3000 grafts. Does the doctor make 3000 exactly? If he ends up with more grafts does he make more incisions later or does he insert two grafts in one hole?

Senior Member RCWest Posted September 15, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks Spex! I didn't know if they would make DFU's, but then that would need a wider slit! :rolleyes: Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member Jotronic Posted September 15, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2010 In our clinic we don't make all of the incisions in one sitting. There has to be communication between the doctor and the technicians and this influences the number of incisions being made. In words, the doctor will make the "first wave" of incisions in, say the hairline, then he will make some for the area immediately behind. Then he will step away to let the techs place the grafts and as more grafts are being dissected the doctor knows what size he needs to make the additional incisions as more are finalized and prepped for insertion. The doctor will make the final number of incisions once he has the graft count and the number of grafts with "x" number of hairs in them. This dictates the number of incisions and the size of the incisions as well.

Senior Member waveskier Posted September 16, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2010 My doctor had 43 extra grafts and made extra holes as to use them all. No charge, which I guess would be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted September 16, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2010 I had the same experience. During my second hair transplant my strip yielded more grafts than expected and Dr. Alexander came back and added more slits.
