Challenges in fue
Close to 10 years I have been operating on all weekdays barring sunday as we operate on Saturdays too.
We started with 0.8 mm punches from ertip and then post one year shifted to 0.9mm
We use only sharp punches....
With 0.8 we were not sure of the results as we were new to the field....so we felt that may be ,sturdy bulky grafts would give good results and hence we got stuck with 0.9mm ertip punches( 4mm) for almost a year ..we did reap some better results but it could be our learning curve too.
But with 0.9mm we had two major issues
1 too much Scarring as the punch size is big and
2 most clients complaint of donor area pain and hypersensitivity due to nerve inflammation
And one more issue of post surgery hiccups ...
So slowly we reverted back to 0.8mm and 4mm length ertip punches ..
We continued for a very long time and never changed to any different punches ...
Just two years back we got introduced to straight punches without the hubs ...
Initially we revolted but since our organization had taken a cost cutting decision.. we kept working with these new punches .. which we accepted later
The advantage was the wall thickness was very less and hence the cutting edge was sharp..
So more grafts and less Scarring..
We are happy with these punches but sometimes we even use serrated punches from scarf....
0.7mm for beard and body hair transplant and 0.8 to 0.9mm for scalp..
That's our punch journey of last 10 years with 90000 plus fue procedures
Would be happy to hear any further comments ....
