  In follicular hair transplants it is crucial to keep the individual follicular unit as it is. Neither the unit should be broken up into smaller units nor combined with larger ones. This is a ground-breaking development in the history of cosmetic surgery. Often hair transplant surgeons combine several follicular units or split them up.

  
  

  Follicular hair transplant and mini and micro grafting

  
  

  There is similarity between follicular hair 脱髮 transplant techniques and those followed in minigrafting and micrografting. However, follicular hair transplantation is different from mini and micro grafting. Both of the latter procedures use a multi-bladed knife to split the follicular units. This results in unacceptable levels of transaction of hair follicles. In follicular unit transplantation it is the nature that determines the graft sizes. In mini-micrografting the graft sizes are arbitrarily determined. The donor tissue is sliced to the size the surgeon considers fit. There is another difference between follicular hair transplant and mini-micrografting. In the latter neither the hair follicles are kept intact nor the follicular units are preserved. In mini-micrografting, speed and economy of the procedure are more important. The process entails using a multi-bladed knife to quickly generate thin strips of tissue.
