Questions about scalp laxity

[capa]

Hi guys,

 

I've learned lots of new things about hair transplants thanks to this society so far and I have some questions which I'm seeking answer about strip procedures which I'm interested in

 

1-May Scalp laxity affect the quality of the yield? (I don't mean number of grafts)

2-Does thickness of scalp skin affect quality of the yield in any way?

3-Does scalp laxity decrease with each new surgery if patient's scalp is tight? (Will scalp become tighter with each successive procedure or Does it return to normal after several months?)

4-İf someone has more than one strip procedures , will his scar become larger with each new strip? or Do surgeons remove hairless skin with new strip?

5-İs number of strip procedures for a patient with very tight scalp limited compared to someone with loose scalp? ( İs 5x1500 grafts instead of 4000+3500 grafts possible?

 

Any answer or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

1-No

2-Yes, very thin scalps may cause a lower yield but not always.This is due to thinner less "chubby" grafts. This fat around the grafts protects the folicle ensuring survival.

3-The scalp does get tighter after each procedure.

4-Most docs remove the old scar in subsiquent procedues leaving just one scar.

5-Yes

I have learned one thing from my 4 HT's - Scalp exercises can increase your yield ! I did them in prep for my 3rd HT ( Dr. True said I can certainly do them but do not expect anything dramatic). To both of our surprise, I was able to have the highest graft count of all of my procedures!
