“…Performing the grafting with a 60 grafts/cm² or higher density was shown to create an increased risk of ischemia and decreased graft viability, and an appropriate or "good" density value was stated to be 40 to 45 grafts/ cm². 8 In the transition zone of different density areas, this density may decrease to 20 to 30 grafts/cm². 9,10 Various surgical instruments and blades have been designed to create recipient beds with these target density values, and the tissue damage they cause while creating a graft bed in the recipient area has been investigated.…”

“…Studies show that another important factor associated with ischemia in the recipient bed is the grafts/cm² ratio.

Background: Although necrosis is a rare complication in hair transplantation, it is extremely traumatic for both the patient and surgeon and also has potential medicolegal consequence. Studies have shown that ischemia in the recipient bed is related to tissue damage caused by the instruments used and the number of grafts per cm². Objective: We aimed to measure the effects of different instruments on circulation by dividing the recipient area of hair grafts of the same person into 2 sides as right and left. Methods and Materials: Sapphire percutaneous blade was used on the right side, and a handmade razor slit was used on the left side in 12 male patients with consent. Subsequently, vascularity was evaluated with laser Doppler flowmetry. Results: Scalp vascularity has so far only been evaluated with macroanatomic studies in the literature. First, the authors evaluated the effect of local anesthesia and adrenaline-containing swelling fluids on vascularity with a Laser Doppler Flowmeter. Afterward, the tissue damage caused by sapphire percutaneous blades and handmade blades (obtained from razor blades) were quantitatively analyzed and compared with each other. Conclusions: Our results showed that handmade razor blades caused significantly less tissue damage.

“…Apart from the angulation, depth of slit is of utmost importance as the 'too deep' placement of follicular units may lead to folliculitis and 'cobble stoning' at the recipient site. Too shallow slits may result in to popping out of grafts [4].…”

The aim of this article is to summarize the challenges which might have to be faced by the beginners while setting up a hair transplantation practice. Hair transplantation is one of the most rapidly evolving procedures in aesthetic surgery that is steadily gaining attention in dermatology practice in the recent times. It is a very time‑consuming and tedious procedure to be performed even by the trained practitioner.Hair transplantation is a procedure which needs highly skilled professional and helping labor. Hand and eye co‑ordination are also utmost important to perform such delicate surgeries.Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it will dehydrate you. This can prolong your recovery time and increase your risk of discomfort. Moreover, it can elevate your blood pressure to an unsafe level and reduce the supply of blood and crucial nutrients to your head. Avoid alcohol for the first five days after your procedure.

“…The technique using forceps can work with premade slits/recipient sites or simultaneous creation of recipient site and implantation known as stick and place. 4 Premade slit creation is generally favored, especially in high-volume centers for their efficiency and also for the fact that significant part of the surgery (implantation in premade slits) could be delegated to assistants. There are multiple methods of creating slits.…”

An often overlooked aspect of hair transplantation is the art of recipient site design and slit creation. There is also a lack of consensus on which technique provides the optimum coverage while minimizing vascular damage. This paper aims to provide logical arguments to determine the optimal instrument and method of slit creation, in order to ensure maximum density, optimal survival, minimal pop-out, and minimal damage to scalp vascularity.The use of semiconical blades reduces the damage to the dermis and vascular plexus as compared with rectangular blades and needles, as the depth of penetration required is lower. The use of acute angle reduces the depth of penetration for the same length of slit and decreases damage to deep plexus. Coronal slits produce less vascular damage than that of sagittal slits with the same size blades.We believe that these recommendations provide the optimum volume slits while causing minimal vascular damage.
