TLDR Follicular unit hair transplantation is better than Miniflap Hair Restoration due to less scarring and more natural results.
The document contained multiple letters addressing various dermatologic surgical procedures. One letter critiqued the "Miniflap Hair Restoration" method, highlighting its potential for visible scarring, unnatural hair angles, and the necessity for further procedures due to donor area depletion. The author advocated for follicular unit hair transplantation, which offered minimal scarring, high hair growth rates, and a natural appearance. Another letter discussed the importance of consistent photographic documentation in articles, while a third letter shared experiences with tumescent anesthesia for phlebectomy, emphasizing the need for intermittent aspiration to avoid intravascular injections. Lastly, a case report detailed a complex lip reconstruction for a young female with a congenital hemangioma, describing multiple surgical interventions and their outcomes.
