Abstract
Hair restoration has become one of the most popular techniques in male plastic surgery. The use of punch grafts [1] was reported by Orentreich in the 1950s, which proved the presence of hereditary dominant characters when hair follicles are transplanted. This was followed by the tempoparieto-occipital (TPO) flaps of Juri [2], which were improved upon by Chajchir [3] and Uebel [4], and then in the 1980s the micrograft concept of Nordstrom [5] and Marrit [6] was introduced. A new era began in 1986 [7] when we started to use micro- and minigraft “megasessions.” We published details of this method in 1989 [8] and 1991 [9], which we called the micropunctiform technique. Since then other surgeons have presented interesting results using our technique [16]. It is considered a safe and simple procedure which, allied to a natural hairline, is today a much valued option for surgeons and patients.
