“…In fact, miniaturization of the SDA can occur and is observed in patients with evolving coronet pattern and retrograde alopecia. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery Follicular Unit Excision Advancement Committee guidelines 13 provide a balanced and broad approach for new hair surgeons to avoid HRS complications that is beyond the intentions of the authors and purpose of this chapter (►Table 7). A first-time FUE patient with a medium-to-high SDA density typically is able to undergo a first-pass FUE without any noticeable loss of the donor density.…”

Hair restoration surgery (HRS) is typically a safe outpatient or office-based procedure when physicians follow high ethical standards and uphold community practice standards. Patients’ clinical outcomes are mostly operator dependent, and temporary and permanent complications rarely occur. Follicular unit excision (FUE) donor harvesting in particular is a challenging harvesting technique requiring a long learning curve, physical stamina, higher than average hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. The types of complications associated with FUE are comparable to linear strip excision (LSE). Similar to LSE donor harvesting, FUE complications may occur irrespective if standard precautions are followed by the physician. As in any skin and scalp procedure, injuries and poor cosmetic outcomes occur despite and appropriate preoperative precautions and intraoperative technique. In increasing and greater instances, however, FUE complications are observed when the physician fails to follow hair restoration practice standards and routine surgical precautions. Physician induced, or iatrogenic complications occur more often occur when untrained licensed surgeons perform HRS, and who fail to meet practice standards and best practices. In the last decade physician influenced FUE complications, or iatrogenic cause of FUE injuries are increasingly observed which results in poor aesthetic outcomes. Higher than average FUE complication rates occur in cases involving inadequately trained physicians, as well as in cases where improper delegation of the FUE hair transplant procedure is performed by unlicensed and untrained individuals. In this chapter, we described commonly encountered hair restoration surgery complications, as well as physician influenced, or iatrogenic causes of FUE complications.

Androgenetic alopecia is the main cause of hair loss in men and women and it can have a negative impact on quality of life due to decreased self‐esteem. The possibility of restoration of large areas with natural results is making hair transplantation surgery increasingly popular. Since the first surgeries dissecting the follicular units under the microscope, there has been much advancement in hair transplantation surgery in recent decades. In this review, we discuss the main techniques for harvesting follicular units from the donor area and for implantation. When properly indicated, using appropriate techniques and performed by a trained surgeon, hair transplant surgery can lead to excellent results with highly satisfied patients.
