“…When harvesting the occipital scalp for eyebrow transplantation, it is best to collect the bulbs from a site close to the neck, where the hairs are finer and more similar in texture to the eyebrow. 4,6 In this case, an aesthetic and functional outcome was achieved. The patient must trim her eyebrows every 10-14 days.…”

“…Single-follicular-unit hair transplantation has the advantage over other techniques of orienting each individual hair in the direction of hair growth. 4 At the most medial end of the brow, hairs are vertically oriented, whereas at the lateral end, they point upward and laterally and are larger in diameter. 5 The mid brow is wider and denser and decreases in density and thickness as the tail is approached.…”

Using Pork Skin as a Practice Medium for Learning Hair Transplantation Techniques

A simple technique using pork skin and excess hair and epidermis harvested from anti-wrinkle surgeries was used to practice hair transplantation techniques. This allows inexperienced physicians to practice and perform the traditional steps of hair transplantation without involving an actual patient in the early stages of perfecting technique. The technique uses pork skin during the procedure, while performing realtime hair transplantation simulation. The surgical result of the procedure can then be visualized, and the training process can be repeated at will; peer evaluation is performed after completion. Results showed that residents that practiced this technique scored consistently better than those without the same training background. Every score increased with practice, and the length of time needed to complete the hair transplantation process decreased. A simple technique using pork skin for practicing hair transplantation technique is a valuable training tool, and gives residents a way to practice sound techniques along with more precise anatomical familiarity for hair transplantation surgery, without the risks associated with training on live patients.
