Sambora,
ecco cosa pensa Hasson riguardo la rasatura della zona ricevente:
HEAD SHAVING
This is an issue which I understand causes a lot of anxiety amongst prospective patients. I hope that this clarifys the issue . No ,it is not mandatory to have your head shaved/buzzed for a FUT procedure - unless you are having a procedure of more than 2500 FUs .
However ,we do strongly recommend that you allow us to do this . At our clinic we have thoroughly scrutinised and analysed every minute detail of the HT procedure to be certain that it is being performed optimally .The procedure can only be as good as its weakest point .We try to insure that no weak points exist .
If I ever see any surgeon performing any aspect of a surgery better than I am performing it , I would happily admit it and change my method .Without Dr. Seagers work on dense packing and Dr. Shapiros work on hairlines we would never be where we are now.
Shaving the recipient area allows for improvement in :
Graft site placement
graft angulation
graft direction
dense packing
reduced existing hair manipulation-during site
creation and graft insertion
reduced existing hair transection to zero
reduced graft handling during insertion
reduction in total surgical time (essential in
ensuring excellent graft survival in
megasessions )
Hopefully now you understand why we recommend shaving .We understand that shaving may not be possible for some .We can still perform surgery but have to the limit the size of the surgery .
For those who choose a surgeon simply because he dosent require shaving - I urge you to study the photo that Jotronic posted - because as a poster already stated - the photo says it all ...
