Mini-Micrografting - Investigating the Pros, the Cons, and the FUE's

By: Maggie Kay

Mini-micrografting is similar to follicular unit extraction, yet not as advanced.

The mini-micrografting procedure involves removing donor tissue with a multi-bladed knife. The tissue is then cut into smaller pieces using direct visualization; therefore, instead of using a microscope to cut the tissue, a surgeon might use the help of a regular ruler.

The size of the grafts is dependent upon the decision of the surgeon and patient who can choose to cut micrografts (1-2 hairs) or minigrafts (3-6 hairs). When cutting the grafts, the excess skin is not trimmed thereby making the wounds larger than necessary upon implantation.

One benefit of mini-micrografting is that it is time and cost efficient. Most likely, that is the main reason why it is such a popular surgical choice.

Below is an overview of the problems associated with mini-micrografting (in comparison to follicular unit extraction):

Grafts are cut in such a way that individual follicular units may be split up or damaged

Harvesting technique does not ensure that each follicle will be kept intact

Grafts are larger because excess tissue is not trimmed

Healing time is very slow

Follicular Unit Extraction vs. Mini-Micrografting
Most up-to-date hair restoration surgeons recommend that patients choose follicular unit extraction over mini-micrografting because it produces a more natural result, has a faster healing time, and is more efficient in preserving donor hair.
