Hair Donor Site

Because hormones typically do not cause hair loss at the back of the head (also called the occipital region) or the sides of the head, these are the areas usually chosen for the donor site. Dr. Fechner will numb the area chosen as the most appropriate donor site and then carefully harvest the hair in this section up to a maximum width of 1cm. After harvesting, the closure of this site is extremely important in order to limit scarring and ensuring that it is not visible. Dr. Fechner will carefully close this site with fine sutures and avoiding surgical staples. Using a special “trichophytic” closure leads to a faster and more comfortable healing process and a pencil-thin and hidden scar which routinely is unnoticeable.
