“…This sentiment has been echoed in the experience of other institutions. 8 The reason for this observation is likely multifold. Younger patients tend to have unrealistic expectation of the density they can expect after surgery.…”

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is the culmination of decades of refinement and evolution of hair transplantation techniques. Hair naturally grows in groups of one to four individual follicles separated by intervening soft tissue. These clumps or groups of hairs are termed FOLLICULAR UNITS. FUT uses microscopic dissection to separate these units for transplantation in a fashion that most closely resembles naturally occurring hair. FUT has grown to become recognized by many prominent hair restoration surgeons as the state-of-the-art method of hair replacement surgery for both male and female pattern alopecia. Although larger punch grafts, scalp flaps, and alopecia reductions may play a role in certain cases, FUT achieves results that are difficult to differentiate from naturally occurring hair. The central attributes of the technique are the provision of natural-appearing hairlines with reasonable density together with low morbidity and minimal "downtime." Nevertheless, the technique is only as effective as the technician, and results are heavily dependent on the forethought of the architect.

“…He concluded that the evaluation system should help the hair restoration surgeon determine who is a good candidate for AR and who is a poor candidate. [ 32 ] Ideal candidates are males with Norwood Grade 4, 5 and 6, who are above the age of 40 with stable hair loss. These patients should have little or no hair in the scalp which is to be excised but have dense hair on the sides and back of the head (good arietal humps) with good scalp laxity.…”

There is more than one way to manage hair loss surgically. Apart from hair transplantation, there are other techniques which have been used by many to treat baldness. This article attempts to review the surgical methodology and philosophy that have acted as guiding lights in the approach to surgical treatment of baldness over the years and reviews the current role of other techniques in the armamentarium of hair restoration surgeons today.

An Evaluation System to Enhance Patient Selection for Alopecia-Reducing Surgery

Abstract: An evaluation system is presented that helps determine who is a good candidate for alopecia reduction and who is a poor candidate. This selection technique has helped the author achieve more consistently good results by eliminating poor and borderline candidates.
