Successful aesthetic treatment of earlier thinning of scalp hair in men and women has necessitated the development of alternatives to traditional punch grafting. The hair-bearing "serrated island" remaining between two parallel rows of round donor sites can be removed and dissected to yield a large number of "serrated island grafts" and single-hair grafts. These miniature grafts, along with half grafts from bisected plugs, can be placed, in one or several sessions, into dozens to hundreds of small "slits" between the remaining hairs in patients with early or advanced thinning on the crown, vertex, or anterior scalp--hence the name "slit grafting." The versatility of this technique is demonstrated by its value for patients with dark hair and light skin, in repair work, in patients necessitating extensive vertex coverage, or in combination with alopecia reduction and traditional punch grafting. The finely tufted progressive growth from hundreds of these carefully placed slit grafts can thus counteract further hair loss in a variety of different situations.

Like zucchini seeds in Hawaii, implanted hair follicles will grow almost anywhere: the skill lies in the aesthetic placement and design of the “master plan” for each patient. In this article the author examines seven current controversies in hair replacement surgery. Different techniques, each successful for a significant group of hair replacement surgeons, are evaluated via discussion, table, references, and photographs. Successful hair replacement surgeons often achieve excellent results from a wide variety of techniques. Rather than providing dogmatic answers, the author hopes to stimulate the reader to explore new challenges in fields of clinical study for hair and scalp surgery.
