Goodwin had grade 5-6 baldness, with very small miniaturised hair left. In such cases we need to evaluate the patient’s age, progression of baldness, donor possibilities & expectations. Keeping a good donor reserve in hand is also very important, so that we don’t end up consuming the entire donor area in one go.
These days there is a mad race of filling & showing results with maximum utilisation of the resources.
We did 3000 Grafts by FUT method. The advantages being:
A. We got consolidated number in one go itself.
B. The demography of the donor area is not disturbed.
C. The density in untouched donor is not disturbed at all.
D. A lot of multigrafts are still left in the donor, which can be used later on.
