Regular Member Fego Posted November 19, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2021 In the fut method a strip of skin for example 3000 grafts is cut then all the 3000 grafts are extracted from that strip to be implanted. So I ask if this approach is possible is to extract the 3000 grafts from the same strip on your hard without cut the skin out of the head so the area of the strip will be fully blank of hair on your head then we can implant 1000 grafts from beard on this blank area. By this way we take the advantage of fut method where we only extract a from the save zone and preserve the donor above and below this strip for 2nd procedure ; avoid getting linear scar from fut and implant scalp hairs which have a better density than beard in the frontal and mid scalp area instead of implanting beard hair in the mid scalp.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted November 19, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2021 You would be better off doing FUT strip and then filling in the strip with some beard grafts if needed. If you FUE out all of the grafts in a strip like manner you will end up with a wider strip of scalp with no hair than you would if you just did FUT because with FUT the Dr has to close the strip with either sutures or staples which leaves you with a thinner scar than the width of the strip taken. 2 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Exactly that. Not that any Dr would agree to doing what the OP is proposing anyway. Filling in a strip with one third the density of beard grafts would look very odd. It would give the impression of being over harvested as well as the hair not being uniform with the surrounding scalp hair. A strip takes the skin away and is closed back up. It’s down to laxity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted November 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just for example I have had x2 FUT and x3 FUE. My scar has been revised once and still isn’t great, Eugenix & Bicer both proposed around 500 Beard grafts at least. Thats just to fill the scar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted November 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2021 500 beard grafts should blend in nicely and hopefully will camouflage the scar well. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
