The uniqueness of hair transplantation in black patients.
The author presents his own observations on hair transplant procedures in black patients. With slight modifications in the manner of obtaining donor autografts, the integrity of the hair shafts and papillae are maintained. Genrally, the aesthetic results are comparable to those obtained in white patients and often are achieved with considerably fewer autografts.
