Introduction :\r\nFollicular unit extraction (FUE) method was introduced by Drs. Rassman and Bernstein in 2002.\r\nHowever, there are some disadvantages, FUE is widely accepted in hair transplant surgeons.\r\nOne of the disadvantages is that it is necessary to shave donor site. This is a major reason that patients hesitate to consent FUE method. \r\nIn such cases, we make some suggestions that top hair can cover the shaved donor site.\r\n\r\nProcedures :\r\nWe perform FUE procedure combined with non-shaved and partial shaved method. \r\nThe ratio of non-shaved and shaved area is decided by length and density of patient’s donor status.\r\n\r\nResults :\r\nWe performed the combined with non-shaved and partial shaved FUE in 53 cases (15 females and 53 males) between Aug 9, 2016-Jan 8, 2018. \r\nThe number of extracted grafts ranged from 700 to 2000. \r\nThe ratio of number of grafts extracted from non-shaved and shaved area (N/S ratio) was distributed 0.03 to 4.0.\r\n\r\nDiscussions :\r\nThe size of shaved area is dependent on patient’s donor site status, i.e. length, thickness and density of hairs.\r\n\r\nOur combined method can, \r\n• Reduce the surgical fee compared with total non-shaved FUE. \r\n• Provide cosmetically good results in covering donor site.\r\n• Increase the patient satisfaction as a result.\r\n\r\n
