Hair Transplantation (a New Method for Recipient Site Suturing): The Upper Dermal Running Stitch

ABSTRACT Introduction: Temporal recession in male-pattern baldness is common. The method of marking of temporal point practiced worldwide, described by Walter P. Unger, does not help in marking temporal triangle border in Indian population. We have found aesthetically superior way of marking temporal point and easy method of construction of lower border of temporal triangle. Case Series: The new marking was applied over 126 young male patients from March 2014 to December 2017; they were regularly followed up and results were observed. Conclusion: With the new method of marking, we found that the lower border of temporal triangle can be easily constructed and temporal point can be more aesthetically placed in Indian population.

AbstractOftentimes, multiple treatment modalities are indicated for the management of trauma to the face. When this trauma involves a hair-bearing area, such as the eyebrow, eyelid, or beard region, hair transplantation can be an effective modality. While most of these facial hair transplants are performed for elective cosmetic indications, advanced techniques of hair transplantation can assure aesthetic outcomes in the optimizing of appearance after trauma. Because hair regrowth requires a good recipient bed, adjuvant therapies to promote vascularization, such as fat transfer and platelet-rich plasma, can be applied in conjunction with hair transplantation. The authors review the indications and the essential techniques of graft harvesting by follicular unit extraction and follicular unit grafting, and recipient site formation and graft planting and management, and present different case examples illustrating these technique.
