Regular Member JuJu Posted January 26, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted January 26, 2009 In this site's FAQ, it mentions that a typical mega-session generally takes an entire day of surgery. I will not be receiving a mega-session. Thus I'm wondering, how long does a 1000-1200 graft FUT (strip) take? Half-day? Thanks for helping, everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Eman Posted January 26, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2009 many factors can determine the timing: including time to remove and close the donor, number of techs cutting the grafts from the removed donor, number of techs assisting the doc in graft placement...you get where I am going with this. It could take 3-hours, but probably longer again depending on several of these factors. My initial HT thread: done and done!! Check it out...

Regular Member JuJu Posted January 26, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks Eman. I am going to have surgery with Dr. Lindsey at the end of February, (approx. 1250 grafts.) I will post how long it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
