TLDR The FUE technique is effective for Asian female hairline restoration with benefits like no scar and short recovery time.
The 2014 study involved 78 Asian female patients aged 18 to 57 who underwent hairline surgery using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. The surgeries were categorized into three groups based on the type of correction needed. The results were satisfactory in all cases, with only three cases needing a small session for relatively less survival area and two cases of small 'moth-eaten pattern' on the donor area which required no treatment. The study concluded that the FUE technique can be a versatile method for hair restoration surgery, including Asian female hairline surgery, offering several benefits such as no linear harvesting donor scar, convenient postoperative management, and relatively short postoperative downtime.
