Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted July 10, 2022 Absolutely incredible, two sessions and this man has been revived. @Dr. Felipe Pittella whats your view on chest hair? What percentage does it grow. There was a discussion with @JoselitoElGallo who claimed 0% growth. Can you provide some examples and give us a approximate percentage in your practice. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member shiba1985 Posted July 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2022 I have a few questions. Any post op pictures of extraction sites? What is the range of punch sizes you use? For the average patient, how many grafts are available from their donor area? Do you feel like patients with 9K donor grafts, are only the outliers? If so in your opinion how many grafts does the average patient have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SLA Posted July 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2022 Okay @Dr. Felipe Pittella- As I mentioned, these results are outstanding. Now that we have seen a couple of NW7 results from you, including the guy with 'poor' donor and thin hair, would you say that these are atypical results or what could and should generally be expected for someone with at least somewhat moderate donor and several thousand beard hairs to spare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member therambler Posted July 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2022 May I ask what clobetazol and ketoconazol shampoo's are? Are these medicated, or what is the product name for each? 1 FUT with Dr. Konior in 2014 - 3814 grafts - Thread FUE with Dr. Pinto in May 2022 - 3252 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What percentage does it grow. There was a discussion with @JoselitoElGallo who claimed 0% growth. Can you provide some examples and give us a approximate percentage in your practice. well my thoughts on chest hair is that it has not the coverage value that a beard or scalp hair have thus, the same amount of grafts from this region (vs beard) will never reach the same level of coverage and result. On other words, one will need much more chest hair to have the same coverage as a few beard hair. Well, concerning the survival rate, I'd be bold to say this but if you implant the chest follicle in anagen fase and with all it's structures undamaged, using the proper technique, I see no reason why it won't grow. Notice that extracting chest hair is much more difficult than scalp and beard hence the transection rate is much higher. Some surgeons claim they don't do chest hair 'cos they can't even extract one single graft without transection. Considering all that was said, in my practice I use chest hair mostly for refinement, eg, baby hair, hairline naturalness, temples etc 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/10/2022 at 5:19 PM, shiba1985 said: What is the range of punch sizes you use? 0,85 to 0,95 (***real external diameter) - I'll calling attention to the "real" diameter because there are some equipament brands that sell 0.75 diameter that are way bigger than 1mm. On 7/10/2022 at 5:19 PM, shiba1985 said: For the average patient, how many grafts are available from their donor area? Average donor: around 8k. It's is possible to exctract more than that if intentional overharvesting is part of the strategy.

Thanks for asking! Those results are not atypical. 😃 They're what I offer to the patients. One surgeon cannot "luckly" get a good result in a high NW class. Of course a good and realistic strategy is necessary and the BHT is the key for the success of those cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words: I will only "offer" my surgery skills to a case if I'm certain to give this kind of result to the patient (using the right strategy). No luck at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please expand on this? there are some doctors that claim to be extracting with 0.75 and i have always been surprised by this, specially if they are extracting 3s and 4s with this. does that mean its not a true 0.75 most likely?
