“…In past few years, several maxillofacial surgeons have expanded their practice in cosmetic and hair restoration surgeries. Moreover, hair transplant techniques have been successfully used in camouflage correction of cleft lip scars, face lift scars, post-burn or traumatic scars, reconstruction of eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, mustache, vitiligo and as an adjunct to various maxillofacial procedures [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Despite worldwide interest, there is a general dearth of the literature in maxillofacial journals on this topic.…”

The hair transplant has become widely popular aesthetic procedure. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are two commonly used and accepted techniques. FUT requires excision of strip of tissue from occipital donor area leading to linear scar. To overcome scarring and other complications of FUT, FUE technique has been attempted which involves harvesting of small individual follicular units. Hair transplantation has been successfully used in correction of alopecia, cleft lip scars, post-burn or surgical scars, vitiligo and as an adjuvant to other maxillofacial procedures. FUE demands greater skills and orientation but can yield excellent results in experienced hands. Several maxillofacial surgeons have incorporated hair transplantation procedure in their aesthetic practice successfully. Sound knowledge of surgical technique, armamentarium and proper surgical planning are essential for desired results. The aim of this article is to explain FUE technique, risk and complications, holding solutions and other associated factors in detail. A simple protocol has been put forth for reference and for better understanding of the technique.

“…10 Successful outcomes have been observed with follicular unit transplantation to hide scars and restore hairs lost from rhytidoplasty and other plastic surgeries. 11 In this study we selected 20 patients suffering from cicatricial alopecia, they were 16 males (80%) and 4 females (20%). Patient age ranged from 15 to 25 years old, the causes of alopecia was post burn scar in 8 cases (40 %), post traumatic scar in 9 cases (45%), post-surgical scar in 2 cases (5%) and two cases after skin expander (10%).…”

“…In our study for scalp, 150-3360 grafts were inserted and the ranges for beard, eyebrow and moustache were 20-2050, 75-700 and 40-207 grafts, respectively that denotes to a higher graft counts from scalp and beard as available harvesting donor regions. The difference is dependent on how much if any preexisting hairs were present, the thickness of the donor hairs, and of course the exact desired shape and density of hairs and the type and depth of scars 19 .…”
