Regular Member mojones Posted February 18 Regular Member Share Posted February 18 Just want to make sure they don’t extract from the dht sensitive donor area. It was 2500 grafts. Lastly, I have no idea what the stuff in the red circle is. I don’t remember them putting grafts in my crown area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted February 18 Senior Member Share Posted February 18 A dirty little secret is doctors often will extract grafts outside of the formal/conservative/guaranteed safe donor area The reason is that the "safe area" informally varies depending on what level norwood you progress too For example, if your surgeon is pretty certain you will never progress past Norwood 3 in your life, he may be alot more aggressive and fast and loose with the safe area as opposed to if he thought you were destined to be a NW6, etc. No surgeon will ever admit this unless you press them on it though. Because it definitely is gambling on the surgeon part, but if you go to a good surgeon it will be a reasonably safe and logical gamble (if you can call gambling safe and reasonable lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
