Long hair transplantation is the modernized variety of FUT (sometime of FUE) surgery, in case of which the grafts are transplanted with long hairs, 2 to 8 cm in length and are not trimmed up to 2 mm as in case of ordinary FUT (FUE) surgeries.
The main advantage of Long Hair Transplantation is the headiest cosmetic result which patient and doctor get immediately after the end of the procedure. Preliminary visible hair transplant result seems not to be the only advantage of long hair transplantation. It caused a lot of technological, behavioral and communicational changes and all these changes opens a door for us in a totally new universe of hair restoration surgery. Among many others, these changes include:
Immediate confirmation of natural look of transplanted hairs for both: for patient and for doctor;
More accurate distribution of the density and direction of the transplanted hairs;
Completely unnoticed postoperative period comparing to other standard hair transplant procedures;
More accurately defined percentage of final hair grows;
Increased capability of the patient to take part in the hair transplant process;
Optimal definition of transplanted hair density by using a concept of an ideal density;
A more profound understanding of the causing factors of poor hair grow in case of poor final hair transplant result;
Understanding the importance of maintaining donor resources for achieving the best possible results.
