Extraction pattern...condensed or all over?

[follically challenged]

I'm sure both have their pros and cons. Just wondering which kind of extraction you prefer?

I see the extraction patterns of surgeons such as H+W / Bisanga, which seem more scattered. 

Then I see other results, say, Eugenix for example, where the grafts seem to be taken more from the safe zone.

Personally, I prefer the scattered approach as it seems less visible.... with the potential downside being that the grafts may not be as DHT resistant...but, i still prefer the scattered approach as I like my hair short on the back.

Interested as to what you guys think!

The answer to this (with an elite surgeon) should be dictated by the patient's physiology and type of hair loss. I don't believe there is a right way. Today we know that the old school, traditional belief of a 'safe zone' isn't really true.

OK. I always figured the patient would have some say in this matter...? Perhaps not...

I think it depends, the scattered approach depends. If you don’t need a lot, and you’re young. It makes sense to be within the “safe” parameters. But i do believe the scattered approach gives less visual impact, but has more risk down the line.

At times doctors will even preserve one side of the scalp, not a bad thing. It all depends on your goals. Regardless, you should think it through and let the doctors know what you prefer.
