Guest Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 This is my first post, after visiting this site for a couple of months. Thanks for all the candid info. It's given me confidence to proceed, carefully, with my interest in a HT. Been seeing references to FUE and FIT, and am very interested and curious. Many questions: What is FIT vs. FUE? Does all donor hair from areas of the body other than the scalp assume the properties (diameter, color, texture) of the recipient site? Does the extraction leave any noticeable scarring? What's the current state of the procedure? Eg. How many grafts in one procedure? What's cost compared to strip excision? Results? Are most of the top HT surgeons embracing the technique?, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
