  • Transplant to the Eyelashes
    CASE REPORT Cosmetic Eyelash Transplantation Using Leg Hair by Follicular Unit Extraction Sanusi Umar, MD Summary: Fine hairs of the head and nape areas have been used as do- nor sources in eyelash transplantation but are straight, coarse, and grow rapidly, requiring frequent eyelash maintenance. This is the first reported case of eyelash transplantation by follicular unit extraction using leg hair as a donor source; findings were compared with that of another patient who underwent a similar procedure with donor hairs from the nape area. Although both patients reported marked improvement in fullness of eye- lashes within 3 months postsurgery, the transplanted leg hair eyelashes required less frequent trimming (every 5–6 weeks) compared with nape hair eyelashes (every 2–3 weeks). Additionally, in leg hair eyelashes, the need for perming to sustain a natural looking eyelash curl was eliminated. Eyelash transplantation using leg donor hair in hirsute women may result in good cosmetic outcomes and require less maintenance compared with nape donor hair.

Michael Johnson7 Received: 3 January 2019 /Accepted: 5 February 2019 /Published online: 21 February 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose Alopecia is a debilitating disorder affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Although challenging to treat, advances in hair restoration technologies have led to multiple viable options with excellent clinical results. This paper seeks to provide an overview of hair loss and the currently utilized techniques in hair transplantation in order to serve as a reference source for the facial plastic surgeon. Methods A comprehensive review of recent literature regarding the evaluation of, and management modalities for, alopecia was performed. Results The follicular unit extraction technique and the strip harvest technique are both widely used for patients desiring transplantation. While both techniques can lead to successful outcomes, each has pros and cons that are important to understand prior to engaging in the procedure. Conclusion Advancements in hair restoration technologies implementing robotics, manual, or motorized follicular unit extraction have facilitated optimization of outcomes.

The main drawback areas [2]. with this method is that a scar is left in the donor area, which is visible if the patient likes to wear his or her hair short. Early FUT procedures in the 1980s had mixed success [4]. Patients could be left with plug-like doll’s hair, with several hairs sprouting together in unsightly individual clumps. However, techniques for replanting donor hair have improved, creating a much more natural blend with existing natural hair. Techniques for planting new hair evolved over time as surgeons became more experienced at performing the operation and shared knowledge at big conferences such as the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) Live Surgical Workshop in Orlando, Florida [5].

  • Hair Transplantation. In
    In: Haber RS, Stough DB, editors: Hair Transplantation, Chapter 17. Elsevier Saunders, 2006: 133-137. © 2006, Elsevier Inc 17 Follicular Unit Extraction William R. Rassman, James A. Harris, Robert M. Bernstein Introduction The follicular unit (FU) was first defined by Headington and the conceptual framework for using FUs in hair transplantation was laid out by Bernstein and Rassman. It became clear to most hair restoration practitioners that the single-strip harvesting and stereomicroscopic dissection techniques developed by Limmer in 1988 were the best way to both harvest and isolate FUs. Although single-strip harvesting is an extremely efficient means of obtaining tissue for subsequent dissection into FUs, it results in a linear scar. Careful technique with thin donor strips will produce very fine scars, but if the strips are taken too wide, the scar can widen to an unacceptable degree. Covering the donor area with longer hair was the only solution to widened scars, as surgical repairs of these wounds generally proved to be ineffective. As a result, a number of patients became hesitant to undergo a procedure that had a potentially difficult-to- treat widened linear scar. In the mid-1990s, Rassman set out to find a way around this problem by directly extracting FUs from the donor area using a small punch. Early attempts were frustrated by high transection rates in a significant number of patients until Richard Shiell brought the work of Masumi Inaba to his attention. Inaba's technique varied slightly, using a similar punch but only partially cutting down on the hair follicle and then removing the remainder with forceps.

  • Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
    Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust Dermatology Department Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Information for patients What is Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA)? FFA is a condition which causes hair loss, mainly over the hairline at the front of your head. It is a type of alopecia known as ‘scarring alopecia’ or ‘cicatricial alopecia’. It is thought to be related to another condition called lichen planus which, when it affects the scalp, is called ‘lichen planopilaris’. FFA causes inflammation which destroys the hair follicle, replacing it with permanent scarring. It mainly affects post- menopausal women. What causes FFA? FFA is a condition that has only relatively recently been recognised and the number of reported cases is increasing. The cause of FFA is unknown. It is thought that hormones may be partially responsible, as it typically affects post-menopausal women and can occur alongside genetic hair loss (also known as androgenetic or female pattern hair loss). However, blood tests for hormone levels don’t usually show any abnormalities. We do know that in lichen planopilaris the body’s immune system is affected, especially T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. White blood cells form part of the body’s immune system and are involved in fighting infection. When the body mounts an immune response this causes inflammation, which eventually destroys the hair follicles. The possible role of environmental factors contributing to FFA is still being investigated. page 2 Is FFA inherited? FFA is not thought to be inherited but some patients have reported family members developing the same condition. Research is being carried out into whether a particular gene or combination of genes (set of instructions made from DNA) could make a person more likely to develop FFA, but the answer is not yet known.
