FUE Donor Management

The harvesting method is not a matter of taste but a matter of necessity. Every patient has different characteristics and these should be taken into account when deciding on the best technique that should be employed. An educated extraction pattern and donor management are vital to sustaining good donor management with FUE, especially when the demand for hair is high in the recipient area.

Very important video this and one anyone interested in FUE would benefit from seeing before they have surgery.
Very educational thanks for sharing

I`m seeing a lot more overharvested donor areas now. Too many clinics who don`t plan for future loss. They simply give the patient what he wants now with no consideration for what they will look like in a few years.

Couldn't agree more with this video and as someone who has undergone a lot of FUE I know first-hand how important this aspect is.

I am seeing a lot of overly condensed extractions with no pattern nor thought for the patient, but more to get the easier FU in denser areas and not even cherry picking for a refined hair line. I see cases that get great reviews from some users yet I truly say "ouch" when I see the extractions and I do really wonder what some people are looking at.

I hope that videos like this will educate people more and more to what really should be the standard. To the trained eye you will really see huge differences once you realise what to look for, so not all FUE is equal and one factor is harvesting and donor management and I hope patients also start to take into consideration more of these factors.

Nice educational video @Hattingen Hair. Anything that can help the hair loss sufferer to understand the intricacies and importance behind planning and technique. This is one of the huge issues apparent today due to unethical surgeons and clinics just looking to prey on vulnerable individuals. They have no interest in the long term situation of the patient.
Do your research!

Thank you guys for your input. Overharvested with no thought of future progressive hair loss is a worrying trend.

Great video.
Some clinics, mostly top clinics, have a plan for both the balding area AS WELL as the donor area.
That is where we see sooooo many problems coming from clinics that only plan for short term (profits).
