TLDR The survival rates of hair grafts are similar regardless of how they are trimmed.
The study by Michael L. Beehner, MD, aimed to determine if there was a difference in the survival rates of follicular unit (FU) grafts based on how they were trimmed: "chubby," "medium," or "skinny" (skeletonized). The research was conducted in the context of evolving trends in hair transplantation techniques. The findings provided insights into the optimal trimming method for enhancing graft survival, although the specific results and conclusions were not detailed in the provided text.
