ť Taken from that paper: "Extraction of the partial longitudinal follicular
ť units (grafts)"
ť
ť Key word here is longitudinal (the "cut" is perpendicular to the surface of
ť the head), as opposed to transversal (the cut is paraller to the surface of
ť the head). Or am I getting it backwards??
ť
ť ť
ť ť I had 700 in my first procedure and 700 in my 2nd. I'm also doing a
ť further
ť ť 1400 minimum which I'm booked in for.
ť ť
ť ť Are you booked in yet or still toying with the idea?
ť
ť Why such small sessions? Wasnt the 2,500 number available back then?
ť
ť And yes Im toying with the idea. I will be in Europe in september and Im
ť looking forward to having a consulting with Gho clinic while I am there.
ť Depending of how the conversation goes and after they study my case I will
ť make the decision to book something or wait more.

Well the way I understand it the cut is perpendicular, but I think it matters just as much how deep the cut is made! I think what's also important is that he leaves the outer area of the dermis, hence the perpendicular/longitudinal cut. I'm trying to think of a good analogy here:

I imagine it's like a toilet roll, he just takes out a perpendicular cut like the hollow part of the toilet roll except he doesn't burrow to the very bottom, I think he only goes downwards to a shallow point, maybe the upper third, leaving the outer part dermis and the bottom 2 thirds of the middle section (hollow bit of the toilet roll). In this hollow part consists of the 3 hairs and a small section of the dermis.

Yes 2500 was available, but I wasn't allowed it. Believe me I wanted it. He seems to prefer to work on the conservative side especially in the first procedure and especially a patient like me who has been turned away from other clinics due to my scarring alopecia. It's a complicated case with complications. The last 700 I had done took much longer than the first 700 I had, simply because I was bleeding a lot more in the recipient scarred area.

The fact that I'm having 1400 done on the next procedure will mean I will have 2800 holes in my head, I think Gho worries that too high a graft count will mean more harm than good. I obviously disagree because I'm desperate to get all my hair back, but he is 'The Dr'!
