Abstract

The author presents a technique of strip donor harvesting for hair transplantation that excises the scar from the previous harvest, leaving the patient with a single, straight, cosmetically pleasing scar on completion of several surgical hair restoration procedures. Because it is sometimes necessary to perform deep inferior undermining to accomplish scar excision, familiarity with the neck's anatomy is important.
