Regular Member Xanadu Posted January 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2023 Some have them on virtually all grafts and some on about half and some have few. Does anyone know what the norm is? Or whether its better to have them or not, or it makes little difference. For example, this patient has none on the front part and almost all on the back part. Why do they appear and why do they not appear in some patients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ray35 Posted January 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2023 I've wondered this too, good question. I've pondered that it may be from skin sluff where the dead skin cells from being so hydrated kinda present that appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted January 19, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 19, 2023 The mounts you are referring to is the epidermal cap that comes with the follicle when you punch them out in FUE. Two reasons for not seeing the mounts are 1.) the clinic purposefully trims them during processing. It is a "vestigial" tissue so it is not needed, and looks "ugly" so trimming them looks better for cosmetic 2. If a really small punch is use when going after small follicles, so the epidermal cap is so small that despite not trimming it is not visible.
